Back to AtD. Transcending negative sexual interpersonal emotions?

[Mark Kohut]

Are the promiscuous guys being INDICTED also?  :-)
I think Yes in some way, if we believe TRP is presenting us with visions of
love in these chapters of late 800s into 900s in AtD.......

there is the happy threesome; there is Dally and Kit; there
is Ewball and Stray; there is Frank and Wren...............

"Variations on love/Love?"  the sections might be called?....with some textual
implications, visions? about when it falls short including when it is simply 1)without attachment
2) doesn't last      
of which there are some attachments not meant to last.....Cyprian w Yashmeen, ultimately, even 
foreshadowing of his leaving in the text.

Paul M. No adjectives modifying love: 
Yes, no qualification to the word 'love".I wrote 'real love" trying to indicate
that many people think feeling jealous shows love.....whereas many depth psychologists
argue that it can show feelings of possession, emotional and sexual possession feelings. 

Yet, many--most?---psychologists in the West also think there is an exclusivity to
romantic love.....don't they? 

Is TRP attacking this belief with a Counter Narrative, a Counter-Ideal?

In my humble opinion, one should never use the word 'real' to modify love.

When a man tells a woman (or anyone) that he loves her, it should be unqualified.

If he says I REALLY love you, she suspects he's holding something back--or that he is trying to coax her into something to which she might otherwise be unwilling to acquiesce.

Or, if she asks, do you love me, he'd better not say OF COURSE I do. She will know the truth.
