During the reading tonight, the concept of love and death was brought up specifically in chapter 17. Pi asked, "Why would G-D wish that upon himself?" "Why not leave death to mortals?" "Why make dirty what is beautiful, spoil what is perfect?" Father Martin goes on to reply by simply saying "Love." Now, what is love? No, I'm talking about A Night at the Roxbury. Is love a feeling? Or is love an emotion? I for one find love to be a combination of both feeling and emotion, a feemotion if you will. Love is not a precalculated, preconceived idea, instead it is an unconscious, "thing" that one person shows towards another person.

  3. Thats really interesting. But what is the difference between feelings and emotions? To me they are pretty similar. I feel that love is either a mixture of both or neither one of them. Its something that you cant describe or explain, simply because no matter what you say you cant portray it entirely. The only aspect of love that can be explained correctly is its results.
    ps love the Night At the Roxbury reference, good movie.
