Love

[Gralian]

Love is a motivation to live. Love is food for the soul and poison for the mind. Love is a complicated paradox, and yet it can be the simplest affirmation; the knowledge that what you feel comes from only this person. Love can wear many guises and can be worn by many fraudsters. Love is an elusive beast, often mistaken for brother lust. Love cannot be explained or defined, cannot be contained or constrained. Love is a primal force that keeps the human spirit alive. Love is something you feel when you are with your muse, whether spoken or no; something that you know only you can gleam from that person. Love can create wild fantasies of escapism and delusion, places of happiness of bliss. Love is the greatest treasure of life, the cruellest of tortures. Love is something i would never surrender, nor give anything in the world to substitute. Love is acceptance of pleasure and pain, of ecstasy and enmity, of desire and determination. Love is forsaken by those too afraid to embrace it. Love dances with hate, and i dance in tune to their beat. Love is a timeless chorus. Love is my definition of happiness.

What a strange question. I certainly don't know what it is at my age, but I think I'm falling. Then again, with my age, I could just be a hopeless romantic. I like to think of it as being able to see past one's one's flaws to still hold an intense connection to all the good bits.

Trust me, when you find someone you truly love, you'll know it

Well, yeah, I've heard that, but how do I know it's not now? It sure feels like it.... Oh well, i guess that's where time comes in.

Love is when you can care for someone and still want to help them and be close to them, even if they've done everything in the world to deserve your hatred and anger.

To all of you saying "love is the slowest form of suicide" and "the world would be better off without it"... I pity you to the utmost extreme.

This guy gets it, I too, pity the people who distrust or deny the feeling of love

Love is some kind strong attachment and personal compassion for someone and you do what you can to make their lives a bit less crappy with no strings attached.

OK, ask yourself, are you willing to go to the ends of space and time to be with her, would you always feel the way you do, no matter what she looks like or what skeletons are in her closet? If so, then it could possibly be love.

Love is something I wish people would stop talking about. We get it: you found someone who is willing to spend more than five minutes with you without running off screaming. It's not that big a deal...

 

[Feralcentaur]

(assuming were not only talking about romantic love here) Love exists to prevent us from killing those who may be necessary to our survival, (that's why not to many people kill their children). Depressed now? Or for a less cynicist/realist interpretation, it's something that makes your feel like even though Allies may come and go, you can at least count on those who love you to help, weather it's convenient for them or not. Edit:

Definition: "Love" is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope.

Umm...wait what? I don't even...eh?

Well, huzzah! Thanks for the encouragement! If I could call it such, haha. Sure makes me feel good about it.

Love is a lot more complicated that just a feeling. The feeling is part of it, but there's a lot more involved. Love is looking at someone after they've just done something to piss you off and thinking "Y'know, I'm very upset with this person right now, but the good outweighs the badd so I'll forgive him/her and move on."

Love cannot be grasped as a metaphysical concept; you can only know love when it manifests in the present moment. Any memory of this is less than a shadow of the real thing.

Love is the slowest form of suicide.

this should of ended the thread.



OT: Love is being disgusted when the ones you love are with someone else. Love is the most horrible of human emotions, and the world would be a better place without it.

Wow. Emo much?

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Pain.. so much pain..
Unfairness, lonliness, not understanding, sorrow, depression, so much tears.

I know those feelings all too well, but its not the love that hurts, its those feelings in themselves, love is the only cure for these things.
Take this...

 

[dante brevity]

Love?
"Overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate."

Not helping since that's not true.
Everything is a part of love.
And I've been rejected so many times that I can deal with it.
- But that's me.

Well, you seem pretty confident in that statement, I will trouble you no more, just don't give up on love.

I need not worry about those people bro, I just ignore most of them. I don't regret it, I enjoy making my feelings known and I enjoy hearing about other peoples feelings.
