Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

‘Love’ is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own…

Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.

Robert A. Heinlein

Happy Valentine's Day :-)

    Jealousy is the blunt term which detracts from Heinlein’s hypothesis. Perhaps he was struggling to define something as rare as it is unhealthy; unconditional love.

    A far too philosophical thought pour moi.
    I’m more for:-
    “My Love is like a red, red Rose.”
    and
    “If music be the food of love; play on.” :)

    Hope you get the card you wish for tomorrow! :)

    A very intuitive quote….I always like the idea that if you love someone, you give them wings and let them fly :) Gorgeous rose photo too, my favourite colour by far :-)

      I also believe that if you love someone you must give them wings, it is the only way for them to be themselves and for the love to continue :-)

      Glad you like the rose :-)

    Love is selflessness.
    And love shares a common language.
    Pictures can convey love without any words.
    Hence, it’s a powerful tool to spread love.
    And you did it through these lovely roses! :)

      All so very true and thank you for your kind comment about me roses :-)

      Just been out for a meal and after I left the restaurant the owner came rushing out and gave me a red rose from his display vase, how sweet is that :-)

    Sometimes jealousy is someone protecting her own territory and it is the one crying “jealousy” who needs to examine his/her actions.

      That maybe the case but jealousy is not love, jealousy is about possession. ‘True’ love has no place for such thoughts, it is about freedom and so much more.
