Accelerated Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 I guess it would depend on the situation....for example I would always put my best friend above any girlfriend, because he is like a brother to me. But I wouldnt put him above my wife....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QRISTINE Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 Hi Varduhi It depends if the love is true, if its really not, then definitely I would save friendship, but if the love is very true then I would choose to save my love because you can always make new friends but can only have one TRUE LOVE in your life. I think my love would be enough for me to talk to and be friends with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accelerated Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 quote:you can always make new friends yes, but few close ones. Its a similar situation to love, true friendship these days in the Western world is rare, and mainly consists of enjoying each others presence around the bar table, but which one of them would risk their skin for you, or go out of their way to help you out, very few........

Sip Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Varduhi:I am very impressed that Seaphan and THOTH have not responded to this topic, usually their the first once to respond to a new topic. Hehehehe ... I haven't responded since I really don't know the answer. The only thing that really made me think in this thread is the phrase "can only have one TRUE LOVE in your life" ... I am guessing Qristine is referring to romantic love. But never-the-less, it got me thinking ... why is it so? Is it really so? Which is more valuable: A trully real friend or a someone you are "romanticaly" in love with? But doesn't the true love also encompass and even go beyond "real friendship"? Then wouldn't you be saving your true friendship with the person you "love"? Ah ... I am totally confused.

I'll meditate about what appeared first the chicken or the egg, and once I find out, then perhaps I could meditate about that. A short answer would be on the same form as the one given by Harut.

EZ Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 I'm an over aged girl. I understand what you mean boys, but imagine a life without love, wouldn't you get lonely? Wouldn't you rather spend your life loved than desired if you couldn't have both? Elly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 I am reminded of a not so famous saying by Samuel Butler: "It is better to have loved and lost than to never have lost at all." (much deeper than the original Tennyson quote in my opinion) [ December 03, 2002, 02:47 AM: Message edited by: Sip ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasmiek Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 hmmm, isn't true love also true friendship.At least in my case my boyfriend is also my best friend....and with most couples i know that is also the case... makes life a lot easier!

THOTH Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 Well - I agree with hasmeik. (and with Sip and with EZ and with everyone actually - now wasn't that easy?) The question is interesting to ponder perhaps - and maybe for you Varduhi this is a real dilema you are in - but for the most part I think it is artificial (to be faced with such a choice) or at the very least the answer is very dependent on the particular circumstances...I've certainly had girlfriends that I have deeply loved.(and my wife) who did not mesh with some of my good friends - even my best friend (he disturbs a lot of people)....but somehow I have found a way to maintain both the friendshps and the love side. If it had to come to it I am sure the "love" side would win - but I have friendships that include love as well (don't know if that cae out correctly...but I supose it could be taken a number of ways - each valid in their own right) - so such choices are not so simple.

Elly.Hey thanks for clarifying that...and for the record...I'm also female (a not so recent pic of me!) Well, here's the thing...(must be one of my lecture/sharing days!): as somebody said (don't know who, but he was French I guess...{as all good things come from that part of the world}! ...well, he said " There is one love, but a thousand copies"...so to be happy, healthy, and content we all need ALL forms of love...it's up to us to adjust the dosage! as some of us based on gender or whatever! need varying degrees of the different categories of love...so if someone's lonesome for a close friend... they should make new friends or share more with the ones they have...if they need a "special friend," hook up! (I mean that in the best possible way with someone who is worthy of course!)...what I cannot tolerate is the idea of 'friends with benefits' 'cause then I think no one is getting anywhere and it's just time being wasted!~~~(actually I should not take credit for all of this, partly it comes from John Gray "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" where he addresses our needs for different types of love!

Sip Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 Maybe you should put that pic in your profile even if it's not recent It's much better than my not-so-recent one quote:By Hyebruin:... but he was French I guess...{as all good things come from that part of the world}! No way. Nothing good has ever come from there so he couldn't have been french. I got even more sure of this after I found out French Fries actually originated from Belgium. ... and to prove my point: TATA is NOT french!!!

Also, if I were God, I would have made all chickens boneless and skinless with a hint of lemon already in their blood. hehe BTW, the new mediation I was talking about was the question raised in this topic. I said, since I found the answer to the Egg and chicken thing, I could meditate about the question raised by this topic. If you were God, we humans would have consdiered a "fat" person as normal, because would would have been all fat, because animals would be prepared already to be eaten, and that vegetarians would not be able to resist to eat them.

Azat Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is leaning against the headboard smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on its face. The egg, looking a bit pissed off, grabs the sheet, rolls over and says; "Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
