Reponse to Reid

I agree with Reid's view on "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love." Mel and Ed both do have warped views on love, although both of them think that their views are correct. Mel considers himself an expert on love, when in reality he has kind of a jaded view on love, one that makes him unable to understand the old couple's everlasting love, and also one that allows him to have the view that if Terri died, he would quickly be able to move on to a new person to love. Ed's view on love is that violence is an okay and correct means to express his enormous amount of love for Terri. Both of these views are unhealthy and incorrect, and will lead to nothing positive. Ed's view led to his untimely suicide, and Mel's view will make him unable to appreciate and grow from the love he cannot understand in his relationship with Terri, and his probable future relationship with another woman.
