Jam, I don't know about you, but i believe that loving your mother/father/brother/sister/family, is completely different from being in love with your spouse/fiance. You don't love them the same way as you love your spouse. I can't explain it exactly, but its a different kind of love.

And with what someone was saying up there, i forget who, but we do what makes us happy in life, right? Well for most people its love. Most people find happiness in love. Sure you find all kinds of little distractions and what not, but really you're still on the hunt for the "big happiness". The kind that lasts for ever. And that comes with true love. Until you find that, you're not truly happy, at least that's what i think.

Ya great response post Dan,that was good. It's true though,the love is based on completely different matters when it's your fiance wife or whatever. You don't have sex with your parents (hopefull) and get that real closeness and attraction and good feeling. When it's parents its more that family warm love you know im there for you always kind of thing.

if its the beginning of too few lives...then why is there the idea of intercourse? i mean its supposed to show the love between ppl... so it should start many lives and many generations... but what spec said...im not sure how to interpret it... because...to me...love is something...almost unheard of... even though im in love with my gf...when i think about it...love maybe doesnt really exist... because sometimes you get mad at loved ones and you hate them for a long or brief period of time... then you will just go back to them. its not even found as the true version of love... because you find true love that you marry and stuff... and as what spec said... it might end in divorce...so its not really a love... but what he said about dying for your loved ones... its something like saying... I care and love them so much...id rather let them be happy and knowing they are happy... i am too. thats what i think about it anyways. dying for another is something that takes a lot of courage and a lot of love too... even though the actual love thing doesnt exist (maybe...)

Love is the dilusion that one woman is different from another.


OH SNAP RADIO JOKE.

all women are different, there's the truly psycho ones, and the truly good ones, both are hard to find, you usually get one in the middle, or closer to the psycho side, lol.

i didnt read all of everything everybody said (i didnt even finish the 1st post) so i'm just gonna state my feelings on the subject:

i think alot of people see love now as some glamourous thing like the original poster said. they think it's something they can indulge in, and false love abounds. most people see this false love as real, and dont realize how stupid they are being.

true love is caring more about someone else's happiness than your own. true love is wanting to take every single bit of pain and suffering onto your shoulders so the one you love wont suffer. i believe alot of marriages fail b/cs at least one person in the relationship does this and becomes overburdened and feels overwhelmed by their lover's problems, and then they cant take it and end it.

the perfect match would be 2 people who love each other, and truely want to stop the other's suffering, but realize that neither can bear it alone, that they must share the pain and joy alike. they must work as a whole. thus phrases like "you complete me." love is finding that person who you care for more than even yourself, and then realizing that you cant do anything else alone, that you NEED them.

that's love, and it's tough to love some1 and need them that bad when they dont feel the same way. when you miss them so bad you can just sit and cry thinking about the good times u once had with them. when you can love them enuf to let them go, just so they are happy with some1 else. that's love.

(3 guesses how old i am. i bet no1 gets it)

no one cares how old you are, and if you didn't even bother to read Specs fantastic post who's gonna read your's - almost as long.

Spec, I can't beleive I only just read your post, but, despite that you were pissed when you wrote it, but I agree entirely with it. I can't really say much more. If you think of how evolution works, love is not what it is portrayed to be.

I was about 11 when I learnt what true love was. Since then, I've gotten a lot of respect for it.

I can't give you a reason for anything in this world because I, too, believe that there is no point in anything. If I have kids, I'll soon be dead. They will soon be dead also. If they make a difference in the world, it won't matter because the Earth will NOT last forever. If we manage to travel elsewhere to start a new civilization, that will eventually be meaningless too. "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero." If you manage to find a "love" in your life, big deal, you have accomplished nothing, as you will soon be dead. There is nothing to live for in the long run, other than death. The only point I can find in life is to do stuff that will temporarily appease your body and mind, don't let worries or the need to find "love" stop you from being happy. Life is a lot better when you are happy, so anything that bothers you now, just let it go because it doesn't matter.
So you're basically saying we should just ignore instead of try to fix all of our problems in order to be happy? I agree that happiness is a big part of life... but I don't think just saying "f.u.c.k it, it won't matter once I'm dead anyways" can bring about happiness. The world would be alot shittier if a majority of people used that reasoning...

We attain happiness by satisfying our "needs" and desires. I agree that love does not necessarily have to be found... it is not a necessity, but it is a desire for many. To deny that desire is to deny the chance at greater happiness. You should not feel that you have done something wrong if you cannot find it, but you should not stop looking if it is what you want.

I also disagree with "If you manage to find a "love" in your life, big deal, you have accomplished nothing, as you will soon be dead." If this is true, then what defines an accomplishment? The word "accomplishment" would be non-existant because what you're saying is that nothing is an accomplishment because in the end we're all screwed anyways.

If you see your life as a waiting period for your death then you're obviously not happy with life... but your advice was to ignore the things that bother you instead of trying to fix them in order to make you happy. Did you not take your own advice? If that's the case then your advice obviously isn't very good...

I think the first post was pretty stupid as you rambled on with way too much text about something, Love is just a much stronger version of like and it was warped to different shit, enough said =\

[sarcasm]Thank you for your invaluable input Arch0wl. It was quite enthralling, your handle on diction was stunning, I wish I had the competence you do.[/sarcasm]

Your definition is flawed, however, mostly because your lack of proof and discussion. You merely said that my arguement was

"pretty stupid"

One tip: don't try debate, not your thing.

Try looking up words in a thesarus too, it might help you look smarter. And that is enough said.

P.S. Middle school loves you.

Why are you people all trying to give definitions and boundaries to what 'love' is? Love is not limited by just one aspect, you can have love between two beings or the love of a peticular food/item. In my opinion, love is just a term used to describe feelings we get...over what depends on the individual, and i didnt completely define love either for i am one person and have experienced one person's viewpoint for all my life-me. Maybe some people will have an entirely different view on the concept of love as you so accept it and move on. Realize that maybe they experienced the feeling of love at one point in their life but when you were in the same situation you felt nothing. This whole subject is very hard to write about, mainly because we will never experience everything that brings us love.

Be it love for family, friends, a spouse, or just a love for life, love has no boundaries and trying to give it a concrete definition is impossible.
