“Bienheureux les feles car ils laissent passer la lumiere.”
Judith Malina
I am not a fool because I do not understand .. LOVE.
I am not wise. ‘ I only know that I know nothing’.[Socrates]
I know LOVE because I am LOVE.
I love you.
LOVE,
Thelma.
Querido Mestre,
Concordo. Quando li, a primeira coisa que me veio à mente foi a passagem do alquimista quando Fatima diz a Santiago de não explicar porque ele a ama porque não existe alguma razão pra amar, a gente ama porque ama.
MARG,

i am not sure that i agree with u!
fools- even if they think they can understand love- they still have this feeling- and if they think by feeling- whats wrong- love is love even for the fools,,,,
and i dont think wise r wise only cuz they love—–
i think love or the feeling of love is for everybody who feels that things- even its not for the real– even its is in the imagination!
and any ways who knows what is really real!!!!???
i loved i love i will love and its important for me the sense!!!!!!!!
I’ve just been watching the movie “The Notebook”…

This is so true, because we have to feel it.
Ha ha, Deedee got the essence.Thanks a lot.Simply loved the reply.
The wise are wise only because they love – the fool are fools only because they thinh they can understand love
I love those words!
People used to call me naive and foolish because of my acts out of love. And yes I`ve been naive, yes I`ve been foolish – but to love make you experience so many emotions, from the highest mountain to the deepest sea, and therein lays the wisdom of love.
I `m about being wiser, still foolish
but loving*
Perhaps for me; this is the lifelong moral to realise ;o)
Intersting again Savita!
For aprox.1,5 year,I went to a russian DR.Psyhotherapist,Astrolog,and Medium, because I was feeling very tired.The unendless nights ,every 2 hours waked up because brestfeeding,and worck on the day in my studio!Overpowered!(sorry if I make any mistakes,no dictionary hear).

understanding look,in their eyes and asked me to write as heal treatment(medication),after they asked what was my preferate childhood talle,to write down my own TALE.

Lately everything related to love in some way just seem a big mystery to me. I am in a phase I dont understand much about that topic.
I agree that a wise man has a big heart, full with love for others.
In the Tarot, the first card in the major arcana is The Fool, sometimes referred to as “the wise fool.” As the subject of the deck, The Fool is the one who sets out on the quest, the quintessential “seeker of mysteries,” nothing less than a Warrior of Light, so to speak. Love, too, is among those mysteries he seeks to experience. In moving through these many mysteries of life, he grows into the Wise Hermit, and eventually attains the The World. So, there is wisdom even in the foolishness of love. If The Fool did not move through the stage of card number VI, The Lovers, he would never be able to attain The Moon, The Star(s) and, ultimately, The World. There is no way to set out on The Fool’s journey (The Warrior’s quest) utilizing the intellect alone – it is an endeavor that requires the whole heart as well, as there are mysteries that only the heart can comprehend.
And sometimes the fool seems to be the wise, because he can handle love by keeping it one armlength away. And the wise loves to be the biggest fool only for love
“I know not love that is not wise, nor wisdom that is not love”
“Before begetting love, beget wisdom, for in begetting wisdom, you will beget love”
These are two phrases that I invented for myself a few years ago.
I realised suddenly that wisdom was the true road to love.
Wisdom teaches us more about what love is, and what love isn’t than any other virtue.
Blessings everyone.

Dear all,
-Love is wisdom, love is in giving, love is god, and god is love but there is no wise or fools for love. Love is equal for each one of us.
-Those who think of love are not thinking anything on love and those who tries to understand love are not understanding it at all.
-I am dead man alive in love.
-Love can bring wisdom, love can change lives, love can create, love can destroy, all we need is love and love is all we need.
-Love is the battlefield, those who want true love has to fight for it. Beyond differences created by humans such as caste, creed, country, religion, race and culture.
God bless you all !
