"All's fair in love and war"
Anonymous

good thread wibha :D

all is fair in love and war.

I DISAGREE.

I shall post my views, WHEN SOMEONE OPPOSES IT :)

I tooooo disagree !

all is war in love

thats the real picture :(

actually even I disagree i have my reasons too :D

Fine lets wait if SOMEONE AGREES.

Else,

we would all write our reasons after waiting for say 7 to 8 hours :)

what say wibha?

sure :D

madhu anna :lol: but true :D

I agree 8-) :twisted:

Sridhar,

:D

explain :twisted: :P

KM..you know ladies first tell me why you disagree :huh: I agreed because you and madhu disagreed!! :lol2:

SS :banghead: please go ahead and tell us y u agreed

I agree to some extend :)

why? donno :roll:

If you are the person in love, or involved in the war, you will agree! Faced with the prospect of losing your beloved, or your life, you will suddenly find everything is fair, as long as you get your beloved/ save your life.


If you are negatively impacted by the love, or by the war, you will disagree!

IMO, warfare is fair in love, but is all fair in love & war ?

In general terms,

NOTHING IS FAIR for all.

What is fair for me, wont be fair for u.

All is fair in love FOR LOVERS
All is fair in war FOR 2 PPL WHO REPRESENT WAR.

But for others (standing away from involved parties) IT IS NOT FAIR, if it INVOLVES their dissatisfaction.


So ,

ALL IS FAIR IN WAR - yes! (for those 2 parties alone)

ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE - yes! (for the couple who are in love alone)

but IT NEED NOT AND WILL NOT BE FAIR, on others who gets affected because of these above parties.

SO, THIS QUOTE CANNOT BE GENERALISED.

When I become a lover, IT MAY BE FAIR FOR ME
When I become a party who is fighting, ITS FAIR FOR ME, else as an outsider, or as a 3rd party who is involved AND GETS DISTURBED IN UNFAIR WAY,

this quote IS NOT TRUE

A pattimanram thread- a place for war of wits/nuts, a chance to argue for argument's sake! :wink: :clap:

How do you say it is unfair KM?
Love .. Say I am in love with a girl and she is in love with me and we both understand each other and we feel that we can lead a good life, What's unfair in this? I feel the disputes which comes in between in my and her personal, is absolutely unfair.
So do you say Caste,religion,status or someother which comes in between two very good and pure heart is fair?? Endha ooru gyayam?? :twisted:

War.. once again no soldiers fight and die for their own happiness..they are doing for their nation's pride! Appo namma naatukkaga sethu pona soldiers ellam unfair-a? Namma freedom fighters? Yosinga Yosinga :twisted:

The means/paths/strategies/ lies/falsehoods/manouvres/treasons/treacheries sought to WIN in love or war is the topic- whether they need be fair or unfair!

All is fair in love ? :lol2:
A loves B, B and C are in love with each other. A says my love is pure and that C is a karadi. So he kills the karadi ... fair enough? :fishgrin:

All is fair in war ? who said war is fair, whatever the excuse we give for war! :boo:

i feel the quote is subjective for the person(s) involved in a situation of love or war. if i am asked to vote, i will say the quote is false.

Designer, everything in this world is subjective. The question is, to what extent? :D

But there are certain notions that are subjective to an extent that they no longer seem acceptable when viewed from a wider perspective. Having said that, I will also say that no perspective is wide enough :lol2:

I too go by you designer :thumbsup:

PS: I dont think this saying is intended to define a moral stance. I guess it is more of a commentary on egocentric nature of a lover and on an individual surrendering to a social contract incase of a soldier.

TV : nice, & i agree with your statement, except maybe the phrase 'egocentric nature'. maybe one should say 'heart centric situation of a lover' ! :)

:lol: both are same IMO. you mean to say that since the lover acts according to his heart, rather than his brain, he cant be accused of chosing to be egocentric, coz there is no cognitive decision involved.

But to me, his choice of forsaking conscience itself is egocentric, since he is avoiding his moral responsibility.

Anyway, its a point of debate only if we consider the quote as a suggestive moral principle. I see it as a commentary, so no probs :lol2:

TV : valid point :thumbsup:

Hmm.......check these out:

http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/war/

At this juncture I can't help remembering Chanakya & his formulation for winning- 4 routes of 'saama', dhaana', 'bEdha' & 'dhanda'. A worldly-wise cunning to win by hook or crook.

atlast lemme state my view :D

i disagree like SP akka says

nothing's fair

LIFE is itself not fair.love and war which are just the smallest part of life can NEVER be fair.........so nothing's fair :D

i agree with dis..as i compare this with

SOMETHING is better than nothing......... even if your known for something bad u set an example and make people realise not to do the bad things....... so its' always better to be a has been than the never-was

Surya, that is a notorious, untrue notion about 'liberated' woman! Not worthy of a generalisation! :angry2:
