JOHN SAID:
"I don't think the difference is merely a question of intensity, though.
I
think value is not active, it just describes a potential, a wanting, but
not a
will. Whereas love is the active force that moves you to do what you
value,
that makes what will happen happen. If you passively value your shoes,
you
actively love them by doing what you should for them. And I can value
freedom,
but unless I do something to bring freedom into existence or do
something to
keep it from being lost, I'm not loving it."
But a prisoner can love freedom and a blind person can love colors,
right?
JOHN ALSO SAID:
To get back to John Lennon, "if you don't treat her right, my friend,
you're
gonna find her gone..."
Treating someone right or not is a matter of definition, a political
discussion mostly. The woman Lennon speaks of can love the guy but still
leave him, right? So these are two different things, that's all.
Just being critical...
