Hmm…
Lovely photo as usual though.
Love is an easy concept
Glad you like the photo
It wasn’t the concept that caused the Hmm, it was the last five words.
Many men live without love (and at least quite few woman too). And often quite contentedly too.
I think the quote means ‘human’ as in human race.
JD has explained this better, see his thoughts below …
which makes no difference to what I was saying… many people live without love, and often quite contentedly too (and many who think they have love actually do not – whether they discover that or not).
Wonderful flower and wonderful quote… does ‘man’ mean ‘nobody’??
I took the quote to mean ‘Human’ as in the human race. I am now wondering how we could change the quote to make it more clear without changing the meaning of the quote.
man is a direct literal translation from German-
“Eine Blume kann nicht ohne Sonnenschein blühen, und Mann kann nicht ohne Liebe leben”
The German word ‘Mann’ wouldtranslate into English as the more formal ‘one’ as in “one cannot live without love”
“one cannot live without love”
A perfect translation of how I understood the comment. Thank you
Sunshine being compared to love…seems appropriate!
Yes
Great photo. As always!
Thank you
This one is for the moment but hope springs eternal.
Love is the key
Exactly, remember the song, You Are My Sunshine?
I do remember that song, it always brings a smile to my face
