I actually do want help on this one...
I had a really, really interesting conversation today. It was entirely interpretive--In fact, it was about something to which no absolute truth has yet been found: Love. The focus of our discussion was on the following question...
Q: ...Most will readily recognize that there are different types and different degrees of love...Duh. But, one popular phrase among those pursuing romantic love is that of "being in love". How is "being in love" different from simply "loving" someone romantically?
A: ...You tell me!
Certainly the same intentions and interests drive both romantic love and being in love, as they are both very obvious variations of Eros (the Greek word for erotic/romantically related love). But how do they really differentiate? When would you say "I love you" (romantically) versus "I'm in love with you"?
...And by the way, I've already established my own personal opinion on this, so don't worry about needing to convince me or argue other people's ideas. I'm really just interested in everyone's opinion on the whole thing! For serious, I am. Talk to me in person if you don't feel like typing. =D
