[quote=APAULT,260588]What is love?  What is culture?

These terms are so broad and I think misunderstood, so the question becomes unanswerable.

She says, 'Do you love me?.
He says 'Yes of cousre I do'.
She says 'Tell me you love me'
He says 'I love you'.

Well of course he did!!  Even with the best intentions in the world, what else could he say? Should he say 'NO'?  of course he can't.  This 'love' might just be politeness

Or, perhaps the are in the early stages of the cat and mouse game that we must play, what he probably meant in that short dialogue was, 'I will say anything you like if it means I can get into your bed.'   This 'love' is actually lust.

Another example.  One says 'Don't leave me.  I love you, I can't live without you.'   Is this 'love' ?  I think it is just selfishness.

Instead if that person says 'I don't want you to leave me, I'll be lost without you.  BUT if that is what will make YOU happy, then please leave me'.  THAT is love.

Now about culture.  Ah no, let's leave that for another time!![/quote]
