I’ve fallen in love a lot in my life. I’m not sure most people would count all the loves, since they didn’t all mature, due to circumstances. But I have powerful feelings for many women, and I don’t know what to call those feelings, except love. These are all women I would gladly marry. But we aren’t allowed more than one wife in this society, plus my current wife wouldn’t appreciate it, so I just have to appreciate these women from a distance.
I think I’m probably unusual. I don’t hear many people talking about falling in love as often as I do. A lot of people seem to be very scared about falling in love. I have generally felt powerless over it. It’s been very difficult to remain responsible about it. But I seem to find ways to almost get into trouble, but then stay out of it.
Then again, I wonder if a lot more people don’t fall in love a lot, but never talk about it, or talk themselves out of it, because it is socially not accepted. Perhaps there are more people who secretly love others, but never share about it. It is kind of frowned on by the general populace, especially if you are married.
In addition, there is the problem of definition of love. Are we all talking about the same feeling? Does it mean the same to all of us? I doubt it. So it’s hard to know if our answers are very comparable.
Why do you ask?
