A Little Thing Called Love. Actually quite a big thing, so big we don't see it so much as suffer and enjoy the emotion, experience as commonplace and yet keenly feel it's absence.
Most music is devoted to it, most relationships are founded on it, it is the definition of the ultimate happiness, and the destroyer of it. Is that all there's need to be said?
CP Snow's 'The Four Loves' made some smooth reading suggesting a spectrum from Friendship to Love, plus a prosaic form and an impossible one. I want to explore CPS's writing, but now I partly set the table and ask;-
Is twitter love any different from that in actual life?
In my case yes. In actual life I was, and am, monogamous, have had no affairs, but in twitter I'm a poly-amorous, serial womanizing, cheating, veteran flirt and crush operator.
How can this be?
In following posts, I shall explore this for the sake of my own sanity, and long-standing curiosity and interest.
I hope there will be others of you out there who will chime to this topic, and find in my treatment of it some value and and may even be moved to share and contribute!
