An impossible Quest

Teddy.15

 

We cannot function well
with a damaged brain

and we certainly cannot live
without a heart

so what about love? 

love, can we really live

and survive without it?

    • Teddy.15

      Awe... I agree but not everyone does. Loads of luv right back at you dear Mr Edwards... ๐ŸŒน

      So many things just to function normally and mostly undervalued or even ignored. Sad truth and state of affairs.

      • Teddy.15

        Thank you dear arqios I don't think anyone can answer this question but we can certainly debate it. ๐ŸŒน

        • arqios

          Haha, true. Debating is not really my thing but yes, a healthy exchange of opinions is always on the table ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

          Live like love has many definitions. We can exist without love but is that living? A wonderful question put in such a poetic touch. Lovely

          • Teddy.15

            You found my profound deepness in this one dearest sorrenbarret, indeed there are many many types of love from parents to companion from a dog or cat to a deeply loved fish. Definitions that we all see differently. My favourite subject that never gets old, ps I once saw a documentary about an octopus and I truly found myself very sad at the end when it died. And indeed dear sorrenbarret, a stranger that has become a friend online after all we are part of a community even though we have never met.๐ŸŒน

              Thank you dear friend. Love is all around us it is nature and the universe. It is the force and as such nothing exists without it. Love is gentle it is hard it is heaven and hell.

              • Teddy.15

                I'll drink a tequila to that my dear sorrenbarret ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’

                Dear Teddy. What a question. There are many types of love. We love people in different ways. I canโ€™t imagine going through life without ever loving anyone at all. Youโ€™d have to be completely heartless, completely dead inside. Just existing, no joy. Have a beautiful Sunday ๐ŸŒน

                • Teddy.15

                  100% agreed dearest Cassie. Thank you for you most wonderful review. ๐ŸŒน

                • Bella Shepard

                  Such an enigmatic question my friend. We may be able to physically live without it, but in order to survive we must have it, for it fosters empathy and compassion, without which we would live in a cold and uncaring world. An excellent write Dear Teddy!!!

                  • Teddy.15

                    Dearest Bella, thank you dear friend, a cold uncaring world indeed, your words are always precious to me dear friend, thank you so much ๐ŸŒน

                  • Thomas W Case

                    But what kind of life without it? You are the best sweet Teddy.

                    • Teddy.15

                      Right!!!!! It's heaven and hell ๐Ÿคฃ thank you sweet Thomas. ๐ŸŒน

                    • Cloie

                      Itโ€™s a simple yet powerful reminder that love is just as vital as our brain and heart. Loved it!

                      • Teddy.15

                        Thank you so much, a question that I'm sure has many answers. Thank you so much for coming by ๐ŸŒน

                      • Dan Williams

                        Not sure we can survive with it. Not sure whether living with it is anu harder than living without it. I've been on both sides, grass is not greener either way. Nice.

                        • Teddy.15

                          Good morning dear Dan, absolutely, I've been on both sides too, wonderful to hear your view, thank you. ๐ŸŒน

                          NO!

                          • Teddy.15

                            lol ๐Ÿคฃ Andy you are very precise for a fellow Libra.

                          • NafisaSB

                            love comes in various shapes, sizes and ways - so i would say, yes, it is needed so that once we care, life changes for both giver and receiver
                            enjoyed the read

                            • Teddy.15
