I'm enjoying reading this back and forth on verbs. In addition my time in The Netherlands as a student 40 years ago was most enjoyable.

In the thought for the day today I happen to notice Nietzche gets it wrong. He mixes his verbs and nouns. "To love, to hate," are verbs but my "feelings" are nouns. If I say "I feel angry" the verb is feel, the anger is neither right nor wrong it just is. It is only how I act on that feeling that is right or wrong. What I can promise about feelings is that I can recognize the feelings of others as neither right nor wrong and just accept them as they are. So I can promise to love forever because the decision to do so is mine. I risk and I trust and when the other does the same there is no problem being faithful
