GRGR(3): Jessica and Roger, Mind-to-mind

[Michael Perez]

Doug wrote in response to my comments regarding the fleeting romances
of the Roger-Jessica-Beaver triangle existing mostly to pass the time:
"If so, can it be love? What I've seen of Roger and Jessica in GR so
far
is infatuation, an intense sexual affair made all the more dramatic by
its wartime setting."

For me, no.  Neither of these relationships would be satisfactory, but
then I've been married for nearly twenty years, so I may be a bit
prejudiced toward the more permanent variety.

Then Paul wrote:
"Sounds like Love is devalued simply because is may not be lasting or
is
doomed. Even the most sincere and considerate of loves may be short
lived. People change their minds. The World changes. Jessica's two
timing doesn't invalidate anything. Remember there is a War on. Any one
of the three may die and there will be no second chances. Who is to say
what sexual morality applies."

I didn't really mean to devalue casual attachments or the comfort of
opportunistic romance.  That's why I said that love is sometimes
something that just passes the time.  It is - whether the romance in
question is or not is another matter, as Keith argues against this. 
However, sometimes it is.  To each one's own, but as Doug asks "can it
be love?"
