Every inch of me will perish. Every inch but one. An inch, it is small, and it is fragile, but it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. I hope that, whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that, even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you.
-Valerie Page’s letter in V for Vendetta
love you too 🫰
I love you.
It feels extremely weird to say it but I can get behind this kind of attitude. We need more of this. I love you too.
It’s weird to say it because it’s unhinged.
Love is for established relationships with proven trust.
I think the whole point of this post is to highlight that that kind of love is a very narrow view of what the word can mean.
Love of your tribe USED to be commonplace. Love of our species and our planet could do us all a lot of good and I think it’s an admirable viewpoint to try to embody, particularly in the face of how difficult it is to feel these days.
I love you too
Yes. I think everyone needs to hear these words. From a friend, lover or even a stranger.
That’s why Jesus is so popular.
Love, wine and snacks, and he’s cool with most everyone, even prostitutes and tax collectors. Just don’t try to bring capitalism into his temple or he’ll flip tables on you.
Don’t forget the power of forgiveness. To truly believe you are known entirely, and not only forgiven but loved is a powerful thing.
I love you too, digdig.
I will always love you, unconditionally. but the way I show my love is dependent on your actions.
as I tell my kids, usually when they’re about to do something incredibly stupid.
I can see where they get the stupid from
did I hurt your feefees?
No, but gaslighting your children may strangely come back to bite you in the ass
how am I gaslighting them?
it’s called honesty in parenting.
I will always love you, unconditionally.
pretty straight forward.
but the way I show my love is dependent on your actions.
If you misbehave I have to reprimand and punish you for your actions. I do it out of love and care for who you will become.
are you always this dense?
“I will always love you unconditionally, but in practice I will always love you conditionally”
Hmm yeah where could the problem be chief
I’m liking the verbal attacks too, huh. You’re gonna be parent of the year no?
you clearly weren’t loved as a child. I can see why.
I’m not sure if this was intentionally hilarious or not, but respect for undercutting your entire argument to make a joke if that’s the case.
Unconditional love in the wild is super rare. Like the love of a golden retriever. Rarely is there a carrot without the looming implication of a stick.
She said love love love is everything.
I said yeah, I guess, whatever.
She said what the hell does that mean?
I said nothin’, it’s just good to have a backup plan.She said I guess that means you don’t got love.
I said maybe I love everyone.
She said that’s the same as loving no one.
I said ok, I guess, whatever.Dan Bern in his New American Language song.
No, there definitely should be conditions.
Well I just shuddered…
No its not
