Congrats on coming out of the IDC close...Firstly... Congrats on coming out of the IDC closet.<br /><br />Secondly, I despise the common misuse of the word 'ego' to mean jealousy or immaturity or a complex. Anyway, it's sunk too deep into popular culture now, no chance of recovery I see.<br /><br />Finally, I personally feel that the gender difference in recovery times is simply due to the difference in levels of attachment to love. To women, it's like the allure of good food and a hot bath. To men, it's like the addiction of alcohol.NesQuarXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08327738466231967560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7194022046773701887.post-11512961351209440502009-05-10T01:33:00.000+05:302009-05-10T01:33:00.000+05:30Finally a topic which won't get polarized...lolz. ...Finally a topic which won't get polarized...lolz. Well (like you mentioned) its a topic which is very subjective and thus depends upon an individual's perception.. <br /> Love according to me is a strong contradiction coz its then when your strength(people you love the most)becomes your weakness.... Love isn't just about loving your partner its about loving your family,friends and also yourself... Come to think of it,don't we love ourselves the most and isn't that the reason why we do what we do?? So love in no way can be called a "waste of time" coz its the basis of our life(whether as love for sports,for money,for food or for human beings)... Nothing in this world comes for free(not even human emotions). And thus with love becomes ego(as u mentioned) and often comes another fatal feeling-possessiveness leading to obsession(fatal cause it kills the relationship).. Ego is an inherent feeling(present in every human being) just as love is so no1 can completely deny its presence but one should make sure that it never overpowers the feeling of love... Obsession comes when there's a lack of security in a relationship, again which depends on how an individual deals with it.... <br /> While concluding I'd like to say that no matter how much corny it sounds but its undoubtedly love which makes the world go round....shambohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13513362758064192798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7194022046773701887.post-28528128392670293202009-05-09T23:51:00.000+05:302009-05-09T23:51:00.000+05:30not selfish...practical...not selfish...practical...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7194022046773701887.post-84494059238778300362009-05-09T23:46:00.000+05:302009-05-09T23:46:00.000+05:30Your observations are fairly accurate.Guys find it...Your observations are fairly accurate.Guys find it hard to get over a girl they really liked/loved but girls are sorta more realistic(or maybe even selfish at times?)in these cases.I know this guy who has created an entire blog to fill it with his emo poems about his ex-gf.I feel sorry for him.<br />And this ego thing eventually crops up in any relationship(not just a love relationship) to complicate things.Samadritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559209065320147413noreply@blogger.com
