Then how can it be simple?

And where are the lines between love, lust, friendship etc?

Why can't something be simple in our mind. Not as you are suggesting, with words.
Once you bring thought and direct it into words nothing is simple anymore.
There always is some aspect of your argument to rebut.

I believe that Love is simple because it is a feeling that can be vividly realised and seen (in the mind's eye) by the person whom is 'in love'.

If you do not understand such feelings/emotions/ideas then you can be classified as one whom has not experienced love before, hence this discussion would be invalid as you're understanding of 'love' is not complete.

Galant things have been done for love.
Atrocities have been commited for it.
For any emotion to drive anyone to such extremes it cannot be simple.

Why?
Love is simple because it overrides the commitments of oneself.
You love.
And thus you do all you can to keep that love.
Is that so hard to understand?
Love is simple; it binds people together, it is, you can put it 'addictive'.

You love because you want to love, thus you do everything in your power to love.
It's a simple concept.

I don't join many guilds so no, i'm not a member of the Romantics Society.

But love is not simply the feeling of love, it is, as is everything else, relative to situation. The fact that any man would be driven to galantry or evil would illustrate that love, in a social context, is not a simple matter. Nor is the feeling easy to understand for everyone, as love is a many pronged star. Love between friends and comrades, the love between a man and a woman (excuse the homo-exclusive expression, but it is what I am used to saying), the love between children and their parents. There is irreperable damage to these loves if borders are crosses (e.g. incest *shudder*)

There is the saying:
"Love knows no boundaries."
You can say, to some extent, that my concept of love may exist between all your 'prongs' of the 'love star.'
I'm sure a mother would save their child and keep their connection of love rather than lose it.
Love between mother and daughter and love between husband and wife in it's origin is the same, but the way in which that love is expressed is different.
Must it be expressed in a social context?
I am willing to argue love in an emotive context.
Love, the feeling in itself is not complex at all. What love makes you do can be quite perplexing.
The reason is simple though: To continue your love.

Is this topic not going to be argued further?

I wasn't intending to, I have made all my points, but I do not feel that it is an arguement that would ever end.

Philosophers have been arguing about love for millenia...It would be rather surprising if we managed to sort it out here

Though i have to admit, it's interesting to discuss such issues.

I'm not really interested in joining guilds.
I'm rarely active in my other guilds, this is considered, by me, a guild which i actively participate in.
Lol.

Hm, I missed a fairly insightful debate back there.

Well done to the pair of you for renewing my faith in Gaia, it won't last long though. I'll have to go back to the open forums again before long..

*starts new conversation*

Eh... so, just out of curiosity, what do all of you like to read/write the most? I'm curious as to what aspects of writing are covered by members of the guild. Do you belong to any other writing groups/guilds/whatever outside of this one? Have any aspirations to become published? Plan on becoming a dusty old English professor?

Discuss! 4laugh

I write poems and scripts mostly. I can't express what I want in short stories, and my novels move painfully slowly.

I have already dropped english, I intend to become and archaeologist, so my writing will probably be restricted to field reports soon enough...

I just write poetry, i guess essays for English Literature at school don't really count~ xD
Recently I've had two of my poems from last year published...

They won't publish mine; one of the criteria on which they are judged is rhyme scheme...*mutters about uneducated, closed-minded, constrictive bastards*

I haven't written rhyming poetry since I figured out that it really did make me sound like Dr. Seuss.

Actually no, scratch that. I just entered a piece of rhyming crap in a poetry contest on Gaia. Other than that, though.

What I really write the most are story fragments which ought to be parts of novels. I've got a whole hoard of them on my computer file. Every so often, I discover that I can sort of combine one or two, and have enough of a plot to actually make it into something longer.
I do a fair amount of non-rhyming poetry, but I like so little of it that most of it never goes anywhere.

I've never really ventured into the realm of scripts.

I don't know how interested people here are, but Nightwish fired Tarja.

Just thought i'd let you know.

'Tis a sad solution, but it was either her, or everyone else (apparently). Some are saying that Nightwish cannot continue without her as their 'mascot'...but: 'remember this line; remember not the hand that wrote it'.
