I’m watching season three of the TV show “24”.
Kim Bauer is shocked to find out her that boyfriend Chase has a baby.
He responds, “But that doesn’t change the way I feel about you.”
I thank the Good Lord that despite my more than three decades of loving women, I have never said that phrase. I have never responded to a woman, “But I love you.”
I don’t let the bitches beat me down like that.
Feelings seem like such a shaky foundation for a relationship.
I should know. I’ve had a lot of them (feelings and relationships).
In these contexts, love is like an obligation that the other person has to you.
If I love you, then you are obliged to protect my feelings by loving me back and doing what I want.
Emotions are not a strong foundation for a relationship. The Torah is.
My feelings change minute to minute. One minute I am in love, the next minute I am distracted, and then the next minute, when I find out you were unfaithful to me, my hate for you is directly proportionate to the intensity of my previous love.
If you dump me, then I really hate you.
I love Dennis Prager (in a completely manly non-homo way) and look at what I did to him.
I don’t think Pico-Robertson has ever known a more passionate lover than Luke Ford, so passionate in fact that I occasionally allowed my actions to override the specific directions of our Holy Torah, but I think feelings are a lousy basis for a marriage. An arranged marriage would likely be healthier.
And take it from me. Though I’ve never been married, I’ve had tons of girlfriends. Some of them were even Jewish.
