Love

Interesting topic, isn't it? Some of us want to scream to the heavens when it comes to love out of the joy in your heart, some feel so dedicated that we might even devote our lives. Others may absolutely hate love, perhaps a broken heart. Some have not even experienced actual love before.

The idea of it came across my mind, so I thought this might be a nice place to describe love in all possible aspects. Don't know what else to say right now, but thought it might be a good thread to make anyways :P

 

Love can good, or it can be bad. Most "love" today is to describe material things and people rarely use it right. Love is pure selflessness, caring for another person before your own.

 

Oh so true. Love is that kind of feeling that makes you feel like u can do everything, and at the same time, like you can do nothing. Love is the kind of feeling that makes you throw away your own morals just to be with that person, and even when they tell you that they like you the way you are, you still want to do everything you can to please them. its the one thing that truelly can completely effect ones life..........

 

Love is also very confusing. ._.
I can't really elaborate on this considering this would be talking about my private life, but from experience, I can say that love is very, very, very confusing.

 

Lol. That as well can be true. Sometimes one has to wonder why they even love, or more specificly, why exsactly they might love a certain person. Meanwhile, others might know why, and simply not know how exsactly to handle it.

It is alrite that u dont want to ellaburate though. It is completely and totally understandable.

 

There is also the confusion about whether or not the person you love loves you back. That's the most...I'm not going to say annoying...I guess stressful feeling towards love.

Love at the same time, though, can be the best feeling in the whole world. You know the days when you woke up in a horrible mood and everything is going horrible within the first two or three hours, you see the person you love and everything changes. It's like your a completely different person.

 

Love is confusing, but in most of the love movies, they always say it prevails. So yeah. Bleh. Some people must live with love, some people can live with love, and some people can't live with love. Just how the world works.

To be a single or not? O.O

 

Love. A four letter word with several ups and downs. Personally, from what I've seen around my home and through people I know, I want absolutely nothing to do with it. However, I would forever be more than happy if someone came to me to ask for advice.

There may be alot of broken love out there, but there's always someone willing to spend their time to help fix it. That's basically as close as I'd ever want to get.

And yes, I am a hypocrite n__n

 

Love is too often confused with lust, people mistake desire and longing for feelings of love.

Love is complicated, it is tricky and it is messy. It is painful and can blind people.

Love is also beautiful though, real love I mean, not the "omg he's so hawt I must be in love" love, but real love. Though that is also rare.

Lmao. I know what you mean by that in every known possible way. Its even worse when u dont even get to see them. I know that when I am in the hallway and I accidently get there too late and miss the girl that I like without gettin the chance to talk wit her, I kinda get ticked off cuz I feel like I just did the stupidest thing in the world XD

 

Lmao. I have never experienced the love that you are talking about. The kind of love that those kinds of people refer to sounds pretty fake, but I doubt I would ever understand. I dont see how people can think that they are in love either just by looks >.>

Hence, this is exsactly how Misa lands up being Light's *****. >.>

 

What ticks me off are people confusing love with romance. Love is necessary to prevent each individual from falling back into absolute selfishness, while romance is about as useful as a cactus sticking out of a toilet seat.

A lack of sexual desires alone is no guarantee for true love at all.
Allow me to elaborate...
Actually, you have shared very little experiences, not to mention that the ones you did share can't have been very diverse. You can't experience the hardships of a real-life love, nor the joys.
It's basically an easy ride, and whether that kind of love can be considered genuine or "true" is very much up to discussion.

 

I have to agree with CtR on this. A lot of people do confuse love with lust or desire or longing. Many people nowadays also throw around "I love you" like its nothing. They'll be dating someone for a three days and they claim that they've met their soulmates.


People can be rather silly with "love". Although I definitely believe true love is out there, it takes awhile to find it.

 

An internet relationship, huh? I wouldn't critisize it, but just be careful, ya know. I'm sure that you've heard it, but still, havnt u ever asked for pics of eachother?
I mean, maybe u guys should actually try meeten up then, ya know.

 

Oh hell LOVE!!!!!!!

Love has got to be my favorite thing and my hated thing.

My first girlfriend was smoking hot and was AWSOME!!! We got along so great for about 2 weeks then she turned into something evil. My friends called her the beast she was such a b!tch. I couldn't leave her because I loved her. She constantly broke my heart but I don't quit that easily. About 9 months she and I gt into a lot of trouble. So we broke up. That really hurt but then we became friends and she wasn't such a b!tch. Out of the blue she decided to kill herself! That hurt so extremly bad.....

Second girlfriend the one I have now. Wow we've been through alot and we both have helped each other. But we hit a huge bump that really messed up our relationship. I had to deal with screaming in my head for 3 MONTHS!!!! Thank god though I stuck it through and I won but it doesn't feel right....she did it because the other guy she liked told her too....she didn't pick he did.

 

In my opinion, love hurts.

Ya, I sorta remember readen that. Lmao. hate to say it, but if anyone knows how to get through the pain of love, then its you man. You really have stuck things out man. You got my respect for that :P

 

Huh, everyone so far has talked about love as in "im in love" or lustful stuff. Huh, I can think of many types of love. Gawd, I love all my friends, in the sort of love that binds you close to them, and you care deeply about them <3

I've never been "in love" with a guy - but maybe thats just 'cause Im not very sucessful with boyfriends.

And then there is love of material things, which people tend to throw the word around meaninglessly.

But all this talk about the meaning of love. I don't think it can be described. But hell, is it beautiful :3

 

Love as 'passion' is as destructive to me as hate is. Both are extremes and it takes very little to go from passionate obsession with someone to abhorrent hatred of that person.

Both with passion love and hatred, people often judge the one they put these extreme emotions on with great prejudice.

Passion - the person thinks the object of their desires can do no wrong. The person is the most brilliant star in the sky and is perfect in every way. They feel high on adrenaline when around the person who they love so much. There is no one better, the person's flaws they recognize are converted to they are adorable instead. When people say 'love is blind' they pretty much refer to passionate love that makes people see only the best in someone and not care so much if that person is ruining other aspects of their lives.

Hatred - the person hates the other with a passion. The good points of a person hated turns to agitations that will drive someone up the wall. The person does any act and a person who hates takes it to mean something negative. Adrenaline here also runs high to fuel rage and it's near impossible for anyone to see through the rage and no matter what the other person does, you just 'know' he or she is doing something against you. It's blind just as much as passionate love can be.

Romance love - to me is love for daydreamers. It's fun to 'romance' up a relationship and do special things for who you care about, but it's another to be a romantic who has his/her head in the stars. Also, some people can be romantically in love with someone and never bother to tell the person because he/she is out of reach or well, the person never even has met the other person. It's pining after the big prize. Again, I separate doing 'romantic' things to flair up a relationship that already exists, but romantic love in itself is connected with passionate love and so is pretty destructive. It can be even more destructive because sometimes the other person isn't even aware of a person's obsession with him/her and things go wrong and either the romantic goes into a state of depression or becomes furiously enraged.

Love to me when it is 'healthy' and terrific is not just about a boyfriend/girlfriend deal. It's also about a child to a parent and vice versa or what close friends have. It's a bond that isn't blind and you see the person for who he/she is and accept their flaws and don't just ignore they exist. There's a desire to communicate, know each other inside and out, you trust the person for who he/she is and know what he or she may or may not do. A person who loves is a person who gives and receives and does not expect to just give and give and does not expect to just receive things automatically. There is a commitment and the person can feel his/her heart is safe with the other person and that the other person is just 'there'. Also, the person is not going to be madly in love with someone who has no interest in him/her. You can, to me, love several people and have a connection to them but not have to be out of control with it. You care and just want to help, do things and know the other person will be him/herself and respond in a way that is good enough for you. Love to me is a connection to others, be it your brother, friend, pet, nature, etc. You open yourself up and accept it as it is and find contentment and peace.

With love as the base, adding passionate love with a person you want a relationship with is going to happen naturally of course and that isn't a bad thing. There are times to pour on the passion and other times to put it away but without that real love, there just seems to be a lack of control and the line to passionate love and hate is thinner than people think.

And wow, it is really hard to describe what I mean so I hope it made sense to anyone what I was getting at.

 

That really irritates me too. =/ I still think that I am, and people my age, are too young to date, but I don't really give a damn if they do. but it really irritates me when someone is going out for someone for not even a month and they're all like "i luv u so mcuh i wnat 2 mary u." maybe it's because I've never felt that way about anyone, but to me, that's not any sort of love at all. and I'm sorry, but since when was your AIM profile a space to proclaim your love? ._.

But anyway, since I am the sappiest person alive, I do believe that there has to be someone out there who just seems to... complement you. to understand you. someone who has just enough similarities and differences to keep you entertained. =]

and there is my naive outlook on love. xD
