Was That Love?


Two friends are discussing the possibility of love.

"I thought I was in love three times", one friend says.

"How so" his friend asks.

"Five years ago I deeply cared for a woman who wanted nothing to do with me."
"Was that not love?" his friend asks.
"No", he replies. "That was obsession."

"And then two years ago I deeply cared for an attractive woman who didn't understand me."
"Was that not love?"
"No", he replies. "That was lust."

"And just last year I met a woman aboard a cruise ship to the Caribbean. She was smart, funny, and a great conversationalist. And everywhere I followed her on that boat, I would get this strange sensation in the pit of my stomach."

"Was that not love?" his friend asks.
"No", he replies. "That was seasickness."
