This piece on Will Your Love Last? made me smile.
Scientists are saying that there is a ‘sort of second law of thermodynamics for sentimental relationships. Effort is required to sustain them. Love is not enough.’
Personally, I think, at the end of the day, it is about making the effort to show the other person that you care. If you do physically care but cannot show it, you should remember that if an equal effort and feeling is not returned, the chances are that the relationship will not be enduring.
I think it’s more like Newton’s third law of motion – every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This will make a perpetual circle that sustains a relationship.
I heard a good one for love.
“Love is not a feeling but an action”
Aint that the truth.
How pertinent! I have a post coming out on Friday that reflects just that!
I dunno. I used to partition my loves in different compartments.
I love a well cooked meal, I love my dog, I love Jeanie, I love the memory of my parents…
But lately I’ve become more aware that despite the fact that all are different (I don’t kiss my food, for example) they still all make my spirit warm and lit up inside.
