[MF] MOQ: valuable or not?

[Muzikhed at aol.com]

This is odd = some of these words are mine, but they came to me from  
smackc4, (Marsha), not from me...)  have we overloaded the MF ?

There  was an earlier thread today, by Steve who was responding to   Marsha:

"You're talking it seems, of the TYPICAL 'High & positive  quality'  concept 
of 
love, as in male/female [or same sex] 'extreme'  liking of the other  person 
and ideally of each other.  What if  one was an abused [sexually,  physically 
or 
mentally] child and HATED  the actions of a parent/guardian, yet  throughout 
one's life, is  still able to [honestly] state, that they 'loved'  their 
abusing  
parent, despite these actions?"

Ted says : these were my words: 


I  tend to lead toward Steve,  here.  If you imagine love to be a lot  like c
aring, I think it's easy  to see that one can care for, and  love, something 
that 
is not positive.   The act of loving, and  caring, seem to be always positive 
acts, almost  by definition.   

Thus, it is quite possible to love (a verb) something you   'hate', in fact, 
that is the advice of Ghandi, and also Jesus, if I have  it  right.    It may 
be the trick is de-verbifying  'hate'.  It's a  bit harder to love something 
you are actively  "hatin' on."  First let it  be.  Then love  it.
I may have said more, but ??? I'll look to resend ??  It was a late  night!
The MF is set to explode!
