My daughter-in-law talked to us
last night about the ability to love
without the necessity of liking.

This is a subject that has always
interested me and I have written
about it before. Still, it surprised
me to see comprehension re the
subject in one so young.

She talked about caring deeply
for the well-being of a co-worker,
but not loving her. She also went 
on to elucidate about other 
instances.

I find the opposite is true as well.
There are those I quite like, but
have not yet learned to love. I 
can't help but wonder if these 
are conscious intellectual choices 
we make, or if we are guided by 
our feelings only?!

I know of a few instances where 
a person has seemed to dislike 
me on sight. I'm not offended, 
this simply is . . . but, I do find it
interesting. I can't help but wonder
and be amazed at this whole love 
vs like dynamic. Add in the quandary
of the instant dislike bit and me 
thinks we all have some pondering 
to do!!!

not really sure
i like you i love you i think
wish i understood
