Thanks Chelsea, that's one of the most heartwarming and the most touching comments I've ever read, it's really put a smile on my face, to the extent that even if no-one else had liked it or said anything about it, I wouldn't have cared (Although I'm glad they did ?), but it would have been worth it just to read your comment and hear your memories. All things eventually pass, but as a very wise person once said, "Don’t cry because it’s gone, smile because it happened." ❤❤❤

Comment is about PINCHING MONEY (blog)

Original item by John Coopey

Thank you MC for commenting, there was much to think about, I'd say that fear is more a recognition of trouble rather than a way of avoiding it, but that's just because I separate the emotion of fear and the 'reactive action' to fear as two separate things - even the emotion of fear can be a false alarm that might be caused by previous or current misunderstandings. Bundled together, the emotion of fear and it's reactive action, I wish that fear really were a way to avoid trouble except human history suggests otherwise and that's because of the choice of 'reactive action' often being unwise despite humanity's capacity to reason (I think a better jury than I would need to decide whether the broader category of 'other animals' are more or less reason-bound than the narrow 'human animal' category). All words are merely human definitions, by definition, and I think other animals do share the definition of fear, they just might be afraid of different things or show it differently. So oddly enough since we disagree on quite a bit of the nuances, we both agree that application of reason makes all the difference and is quite essential for a good outcome where fear is involved.

There are so many fabulous lines in this, but my favourite lines are:

Two-dimensional people of today,
snapped and shot, could not stand in his heart.

and

Survivors file past departed windows
no more than wounds now, black holes.

Thanks Stephen and YRP! I wasn't sure about the last stanza, as the "wolves at the door" phrase is a bit of a cliché metaphor. I tried several variations, but kept coming back the original. Just seemed to work best.

Jason, this is beautiful.
This captures something everyday me can connect to, everyone can relate to and everyone can hold on to.
My mother always said “this too shall pass” as a child they became simple words because she often said them but she was never wrong. It’s important to remember that while your here you worries are fleeting and the time you devote to freedoms the more time you’ll have. Thank you for a stroll down memory lane with my mother

Original item by Stephen Gospage

I tend to think of fear as nature's way of avoiding trouble. All visible
life forms seem to demonstrate its manifestation in action. After all,
isn't the word itself merely a human definition that other animals
do not share, let alone comprehend except via instinctive response
to perceived threat of whatever sort?. Humanity has the advantage of reason and can gainfully employ it to overcome the relative threat according to circumstance.

Comment is about Acoíris (blog)

Original item by Your Royal Poetess

Hi Aviva

True, no debate there, but since it is a poem, I will get away with the expression of an emotion.

Perhaps underlying here is that many times in life you here the notion that one person is more in love with the other one. Or, like in the movies, the one would say that he or she got “enough love for both of them.” ?

We can, therefore, argue that the one partner is expressing more or less love, and even that is not wrong, since we all different people expressing love in different ways. Where there are different expression levels, one can always appreciate it hence the poem speaks to the fact.

I am a true believer that Love is an expression.... in need of an answer. No one can love another person in isolation.

So, in the final analysis, I think what the poem is trying to say is that where both partners are equally passionately in love with each other, one can feel the magic ?

But it still stay just words on paper, born from an emotion that appreciates that thing we call LOVE.

Aviva, apologies I was referring to the news story bringing a tear or two. I could never guarantee my writes would spark such emotion. I can’t believe I missed this story from back in December. The picture reminded me of the end of a Pixar movie, never a dry eye moment ?
