What Do We Talk About... Love

I don't think I've ever thought about the concept of love in so many different ways. First, the spiritual love was brought up, then carnal love, and love that can EVEN be destructive. So then it brings up the point about which interpretation is closest to the ideal reality of what love is? Most people including myself would probably consider Ed's form of love, a love based on showing feelings for the other person through harmful actions, as probably not the real definition of love. But, the more I think about it. People are different; people express things in many different mediums. Ed's form of expression was through passionate fighting. Though I do not believe thats what a relationship should be like, I can't sit here and say that that is not love. I didnt like Mel's perception of love as though without the other person he would be fine if something happened to Terri. I felt that to be too rational a response to love, and in my opinion love is something complete irrational, something just that extends boundaries, doesn't fit in a box. When I read the part where Terri and Mel were commenting on Laura and Nick's affection and how they were still in the "honeymoon phase" it gave me the impression that marriage was despressing in reality. I do however believe that Mel should lay of the gin...
