What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, is a very interesting story. I found this story to be orientated towards older people. Love is something that everyone eventually goes through. In my opinion love is a beautiful feeling. It brings out the best in people. Love is the only thing that allows you to care more about somebody else other than yourself. The story is a conversation between two couples. Both couples love each other. But the love that each couple has is very different. Mel and Terri love each other and act like they have been in abusive relationships prior to meeting. Nick and Laura on the other hand show a more passionate type of love. Terri talks about her previous relationship. She was abused by a man. She tells everyone that his abuse was out of love. Her words were very surprising because I would never think about laying a hand on the person I love. Terri says that the form of live her ex shows is a very extreme form of love. I can understand what she is saying, but love shouldn't justify abuse (no matter what gender) . This story really makes you wonder and set your own definition of love. The author writes this story very very well. I feel like I am actually a part of the conversation. I almost feel like contributing to the conversation.
This song reminds me of the song "Love Song" by The Cure
