love and like. maybe its just be, but i cant help but feel abhorred by mr/ms??? tamkin's pronouncement that he/she hates love. i would admire a man who would truly hate man for some particular valid reason but it is apparent to me that his premise is wrong in that he primarily misdefined love.

As far as i can see, mr tamkin relates the meaning of love as to dating and one night stands. in that his allegory is wrong. if you would refer to love as that, then how can he justify loving his family, his beer, and his pie, as he so writes in the latter part of his text. does he mean then that he dates his family, his beer, and his pie? does he sleep with them? i would hardly think so. i will refrain from taking shotputs at mr tamkin but i will just continue on my own dire monologue.

true, love requires sacrifice, compromise, and most of all, commitment. it is not to be taken lightly. you may care for them. you may love them to some degree, but you cannot truly love them, unless you feel for them, you get to know them, commit to them. to sacrifice and commit means to offer your life to share it with someone else. that is love, as a partner. but there is also love as a brother and sister, father and mother, teacher, neighbor, and friend. but those are beyond the scope of mr tamkin's pronouncements. he emphasized more on the partnership side, so that is what i critique.

to share your life entails that everything must be shared, the good and bad, the past and the future. it requires much, true, so as i said, it cannot be taken lightly, and it is not the same as dating, nor sex.

but i do admit that singleness brings freedom, and with it, its joys. it comes often rarely, and it should be enjoyed, as it is enjoyable. but i do not believe in liking. i prefer LOVE in friendship.

begging you all a thousand pardons for my impropriety but i really am a hopeless romantic. and i fully believe in love, at the right time.
