ter Says | Love Doesn't Really Exist

But: Jane Replies ‘PentUp Emotions’ Are To Blame.

Here is another letler from Pent Up Emotions who yearns for a sweet romance which he finds only in dreams.

EAR JANE JORDAN-I1 am grateful for the letter of “Idealist” in response to mine, I'm still wondering if life is worth living. Sacrifices have to be made where children are concerned, and it really is painful when it happens to be an unhappy union. But after all I wonder if it ~ isn’t true that people must try to adjust themselves to the day-after-day life and disre-

gard their real desires. There is a song which asks, #**hat Is This Thing Called Love?” - That's what I often ask myself. Love, it seems to me, is more like

believe in Santa Claus until they ‘become a certain age and then it dawns upon them that there isn’t sushi’ a human, painted for them with rosy cheeks and long whiskers. So it is with love. After people become a certain age they realize that there isn't such a thing as love. I'll have to say though that it seems pretty empty without that

emotional part called love which I

still think at times.should accompany mating. PENT UP EMOTIONS. ANSWER—Gracious! Now you've gone too far the other way! Far be it from me to say there is no suc" thing as love, or to recommend the emotionally starved life for any human creature. Love is a much used word carrying vague meanings, and its interpretation depends upon the emotional experience of the persor hearing it. All that I objected to in your letter was the impression 1 received that you were straining toward an impossible ideal whith you never could hook: up with fact and which kept you dissatisfied with prosaic reality. A person brought up with the Santa Claus concept of mating, endows love with an imaginative radiance which it can not mainfain for long. When the radiance is gone he is dissatisfied with what is left and yearns to feel the fever of love again. Most people expect more of the marrizd relationship

. than it has the power to give.

A good working agreement with a congenial partner is not enough; they crave a sort of phosphorescent holiness which can not be captured—in a word they want romance but they can not have it for keeps. Life is about three-fourths tedium and we must learn to put up with . & certain amount of monotony. : However these facts do: not . Justify us saying that there is no

= such thing as love, which is one of the oldest and most persistent

of human feelings. Love is a yearning, a putting out of the self toward what it values most highly. If these values are firmly tied to reality and not hitched to some far distant star, we have a chance to find fulfillment in the flesh. Highly colored dreams of ideal partners breed discontent with what one can attain in life if he is prepared for things as they are in fact but not as they are paint-. ed in fairy tales. JANE JORDAN.
