Love is selflessness....

and since it's impossible to be selfless...;love is basically being happy vicariously through the happiness of another...

if your happiness makes me happy, that's an expression of love...

i dont put too much stock (as a matter of fact i dont put any stock) into being happy. Happiness is a state of mind. You can be happy one second, and literally the next, you sad af. I prefer joy. Joy goes beyond being happy.

I can't define it, the answer is not the same for the people in my life as I love them all in different ways.



What I do know is that it is not that shit Disney wants you to believe it is and the sooner you learn that the better.

If, you cannot define it, then how do you know what it isn't.

I can say with all certainty the it can be what Disney's version is, perhaps not all the time but it can be. In fact I have experienced it, and live it day to day.

i think her point was that its not like that ALL the time

If, Love is personal and different for each individual then it's possible for it to be like that all the time. Correct?

 
Hello Top,

unconditional and unselfish acts of caring for someone else. knowing that you can breathe without them and cant see without them because they light up your darkest moments by just being present.

when you find yourself thinking of what you can do to make them happy or smile.

when you hear their voice and it puts you at ease yet energizes you.

it damn near makes you hypocritical. because you want to share your world but keep them to yourself.

you want to keep it real but live in a fantasy world with them.

they mkae you feel like you are one with the stars but they keep you grounded.

you want to plan a future with them but cant think past the current moment with them.

when you wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the person and touch them softly just to feel their skin.

you know you are in love

or borderline obsessed.

on you can make me talk like this @top
 
Love is more than a man made definition. IMO it's shown through action. Overtime "love" has been diluted and carelessly thrown around by people it's hard to tell or even begin to understand exactly what it means.

b/c of human interaction, someone at some point will get pissed at the other one

I feel that if you are able to get along for the most part, then thats a great thing, but every now and then, there are moments where your relationship will be tested.

Your arguments might not be over money, but they may be over other things. Every relationship is different, but no relationship is immune to problems every now and then.

I suppose I should have said that I can't define it in so many words, as stated love is different for me depending on who we are talking about. The definition therefore changes. And yes I know what it isn't.

If you are living happily ever after day to day then that is wonderful and you are blessed.

selflessness brought about by infatuation for another

Interesting.

This seems to be a serious thread, so I won't derail it with what I thought about saying....so I'll just co-sign the biblical reference that @AP21‌ posted.

 
the older you get the more you understand love.

it is based on knowledge and knowing you are stupid for this person.

you need to know what love is not to understand what love is, so it is kinda based on knowledge of understanding your feelings and what you like.

it does multiply ....that is why the smallest thing is always amplified when you love someone. but with some random...it really doesnt matter.

love is complete lose of control.

thats why people avoid it....they cant control the hurt that may come with it...so they say all dudes are dogs or all chicks are hoez to begin to lessen the blow of not being wanted by someone they may end up falling in love with.

steps off my soapbox and sits the fukk back

Your arguments might not be over money, but they may be over other things. Every relationship is different, but no relationship is immune to problems every now and then.

First the question is "What is Love?". Not what is Love in a relationship between man and woman or whatever ones preference is.

Of course no relationship is the same. However, when faced with problems everyone handles them differently. So, if you choose to punch your wife in the face, curse her out, and then go hang out at the club with friends then that's your prerogative. However, when faced with problems if you to sit down, speak calmly, and buy your wife flowers and a teddy then that's your prerogative as well.

So, point here is you can be Ratchet or Disney. Because, although, Disney is done up, the stories are rife with hardship before the Love actually happens.

 
love is selflessness

I mean I'm young but i thought about it and realized that the first person that one loves is always their mother(or caretaker depending on the circumstances)

You grow to love them because of their selflessness toward you and willingness to put your life in front of theirs.

Well, thank you. But you are 100% correct. Blessed is the perfect word. It's nothing super special about me and mine. Base your relationship on tangible, things, not feelings and everything works out wonderfully.

My advice to any young person is, be selfish. Look out for yourself. Do not let a Woman come between your, goals, family and self. Once you have accomplished what you'd like to in life and then want to throw it all away for a Woman and Love then be guess.

i think your trying to say be selfish to know how to be unselfish.

you need to run the streets and not care before you can begin to care
