Malchik Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 So many kinds of love - aren't there? W H Auden wrote a song called 'Tell me the Truth about Love'. My favourite line is "When it comes, will it come without warning? Just as I'm picking my nose." That just about sums it all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojlnir Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Love, as an emotion, is a series of chemical signals generated by the brain that were hard wired hundreds of thousands of years ago. These reactions were intended to drive human beings to create familial bonds in order to survive in a harsh environment. That said, love is much more than that. It's devoting you life to someone(s) (ie children) because you can't think to be without them. It's desperately waiting for that special person(s) to come home, and worrying every minute they're gone. Love is forgetting your life before...because it wasn't a life. Love is anger sometimes too, but never anger intended to hurt. Love is a bond between two people that defies explaination, and thank goodness for that. For Bean. All my heart, forever and always.

Kethruch Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 (edited) Love, what is wuv? Love is the overriding of the logical mind where it comes to people we care about. It is the ability to look at someone, and want to do anything to help that person, even at great cost to yourself. It gives you the ability to overlook people's faults, and not be able to answer the question "does this make me look fat?" because you know the answer is wrong no matter what you do. It gives you the amazing power to be crazy, without fear of being judged. It allows you to come as close to truly knowing someone as anything can, and, indeed, as much as the eyes are the windows of the soul, love is the highway that allows souls to meet and interact. It is also what defines hate, as one cannot exist without the other. Love can make the worst movie seem too short, and a minute of time when you are separated seem to long. The best parts of love are not the physical, but the security that comes with mutual love - that feeling that not only can you try to leap over great obstacles, but that if you fail, you will still have someone there. Love is what drives you to be the best you can be not for yourself, but for those that love you - and also the ability to allow others to strive for all they can be, without thought of yourself. Love is looking into the eyes of your newborn child, and the feeling you get when they look back and smile. Love - of all of the things that exist, is the most complex, beautiful, thing. BTW - I have been married for 14 years. Edited November 26, 2003 by Kethruch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluventi Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Love can't be explained. Trying to describe true love to someone is like trying to describe the colour red to someone who has been blind all their life. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Love can't be explained. Trying to describe true love to someone is like trying to describe the colour red to someone who has been blind all their life.That is definately an interesting way of looking at that. Oh, and the example reminds me of The Giver.Love - of all of the things that exist, is the most complex, beautiful, thing.Most likely true.

Faust870 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Lets make it simple :P... Love is just a jumble of EVERY emotion that exists...though i am still waiting for true love...may take a few years :P... Of course, for those younger, there is infatuation :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Faust, thats what i was harking at somewhere up the page :stupid: , about the difference between lust/infatuation and real love. The one can feel like the other all too often. I offer my congratulations to all who are married/in a stable, happy relationship. You've found the person who you can share the feeling we've tried so inarticulately to describe above, making you the happiest person in your world. For those of us who haven't, i guess we keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Faust 87's latest post deleted - you have already expressed the same sentiment in your 3 posts above. Endless repetition is also SPAM. <_< loveme4whoiam - it is entirely possible for infatuation/lust to turn into love. I think that those here who are/have been in a long-term relationship will agree that during the course of such a relationship the nature of love can change - indeed has to change for the relationship to progress, and not to grow sour.

Rynos Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Love is a worthless emotion only leading to years of being broke... Has anyone noticed that there is a line between what males and females think of love. Not nessisarily in this post but in general life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
