Love and it's uncertainty

katana_phantom · 09-12-2006, 07:37 PM

Many people have defined love different ways. Many people firmly believe they are in love. What is your definition of love? Kids of the age 8.. or 9.. or so, all think they are in love because of that warm feeling inside of them. Who agrees with me that that is incomprehensibly not true? Who agrees with my definition.. or can add some of their own?
And whom agrees that the world is all too in love with love. I mean, do you not see on the news how every celebrity is falling in "love" again? Do you not see how so many movies that come out HAVE to have intercourse in it or sexual references, else its not a good movie..and hardly anyone goes to see it? I can prove it with the Da Vinci Code! People are theorizing that Christ fell in love with Mary Magdalene? Did we ever believe this before? Is it true? Why is it coming up now, not beforehand? Simple, we are in love with that simple idea of romance, how EVERY person has it and firmly believes in it. Is anyone out there just plain sick of it?
And love. What can we really call it? If you pick some, oh, 10 people on the street, and ask them it's definition, do you think the answers will all be the same? No, they would most likely all be different, some slightly differing from others, some completely off on another type analysis all together. Some will say it is a deep feeling you have for someone or something. Another may say it is when you act really nice to someone. Others will say it is when you decide you would give your life for another person.
Well, I give my definition, taking some parts of each of those, and some of my own, and defining it as such. I will use the example of another person. Love is when you are so close to another person that you feel an emptiness in your soul that suddenly gets filled up when you are with them. Love is the yearning to be patient, kind, gentle, and all the other things that are told in the Book of Life. But, above all, it is knowing deep in your heart that, no matter the situation, you can get through it. This feeling is just because you know the person will always be there. The second that trust, feeling, or belief, as you may call it, is broken, your life will never be the same.
Anyone else's thoughts at all parallel? Anyone else have criticism? Please, show me how ignorant you are.. or how brilliant you are. The questions are here for the taking. Anyone up for a challenge?

this is a discussion that like the whole "does god exist" discussions, it just simply cant be answered without counters. my definition is the lack of one. love is something you just know. no one can say if you love someone or not, only you can. love is the most painful feeling in the world and the greatest feeling of all. love is all the emotions you can feel just crammed into one. what is love? i have no clue what the hell it is, but its something only some of us get to feel and have it be true.

[off topic] what are the only three teams in the nba that do not end with an s? examples of ones that do are the bulls, timberwolves, pistons, etc. which ones do not end in s though? see if you can answer this without the use of the internet or other people. if you do, post the answer, but do not post only one or two of the teams, make sure you have all three.

Actually is not just a feeling. Is a path, a choice to do the best to the loved person. That's why most young couples can't stand, they look for only to fulfill their own desires, instead of giving their best for the other person.

I'll share some hard thing with you guys: when i was 5, my mother and I were going to my granny's home, then all of a sudden, a drunken man in a car came at us from my side at high speed; my mother dropped me out of the road and the car got over her. I still remeber her calmed eyes when the car killed her.

That is love, not the scum you hear in the radio.

Toño (Gnoto) and I have made many fool desicions in our relationship, but we decided to give our best to each other, our mind and feelings to our live together.

monkey love. it's just a sudden chemical reaction towards beauty of opposite gender. but the effect will ward off if you simply look at another beauties. mostly happen at age 6-12 (google dude)

celebrity love. they gain popularity from fake relationship.

nonsense. love doesn't breed from romance only. it also comes from security, eagerness, difference, beauty, etc. each person has their own reason to fall in love with someone.

I agree. Losing 'this love' feels like losing a body part. We can live our life but it will be extremely hard.

Discuss, what's the difference between loving your mother and loving your friends?

**Anga** · 09-13-2006, 02:10 AM

Love is nature's trick to get us to reproduce and take care of each other.

It's just chemicals in your brain. The brain of someone in the stage of love called limerance is similar to the brain of someone who is crazy. You can't force the feelings of love so we have made love a special thing. Love that actually lasts is pretty rare so we hold it in great regard.

Sure love can be a wonderful thing. It can lift you up and bring out the best in people. But it's not the best thing in the world.

Quote:

Love is not some holy, exalted thing, you know. It's about appetite and wanting and need and all those other things that make people do ugly things to each other.

The above is something I stole from someone's sig years ago.

That's not love, is lust.

katana_phantom · 09-13-2006, 05:12 PM

@ Gnoto-THANK YOU!

Anga- look up the definition of love. What is it. Then.. look up lust. What is it. Once you do that... then get back to me, hm?

Ashlyed-The love you first describe official term is lust.. not love.
Loving your mother is a natural instinct instilled upon you at birth. You bestow love upon them because they nurtured you from the beginning. The love you have for friends is actually more substantial, because you break away from the love for your mother after a period of time, because you resolve that they are to be broken away from. (the idea of life itself and breaking away from the father) Friends you cling to, because of their similar interests or feelings as you do.

Who out there knows what love means for real? And lust??dictionary.reference.com

**JinDaYi** · 09-13-2006, 05:13 PM

It's sad you two have no idea what she was implying, even though she blatantly stated it.

But okay.

darkjut · 09-13-2006, 10:40 PM

liver, to start i would like to say im sorry to hear what happened to your mother.

now, the love you described is more or less not the love i was talking about. love between mother and child is a real feeling, yes, but it is also an instinct that we naturally have as mammals. little biology lesson for you all.

the only animals on earth that actually care for their young during their youth are mammals, with the exception of crocodiles and alligators, and birds do not count as they simply care for them only for a while before pushing them out of the nest not caring whether they live or die. we are mammals therefore it is in our nature to care for our youth. since we are more advanced in mind and soul, our love goes beyond the days of youth.

what your mother did for you was out of pure love, yes, but just about any mammal would have done the same also. again though, i am sorry for your loss.

katana_phantom · 09-14-2006, 06:52 PM

What precisely was she implying? Please enlighten me, seeing as I am now dishonorable, and I just blatantly asked her to find a definition for me. She said it was all chemicals. Lust is a feeling... love is not. Love is the yearning to be as good/honorable to someone as possible. Lust IS chemicals... if you believe love is... prove it?
I'm sorry to all of you you believe I'm so dishonorable... and that using logic is something you wish for me not to do. You'd rather me go away from the forums than add my 2 cents in? Please let me know.. I'll leave if you're so adamant about it.
