What is love? How would you define it? And on the 21st century, is love real?
love is a passion that one feels for another. if one loves another, and the other loves the first back, then they devote their lives to one another. that's what i think.
that's romantic love I would say.Quote:

This point of view seems a little Disney, not to offend.
I had a crush on a cousin once! Oh man! but he wasn't old enough to move or dirve and then his parents isolated them selves from us and nobody has seen him for 5 years except his parents and siblings ( did I mispell any of that smart one?)

when you love someone..you'll deny the truth, believe a lie..there will be times that you'll believe you can really fly..but your lonely nights have just begun.
when you love someone..feel it deep inside..and nothing can ever change your mind!;)
If you change that quote to "all people" instead of "there are people", it's pretty near correctQuote:

I'm not going forward like others but why compare, the disease of the heart is stronger than actions...I love, I know I do, but I ignore out of fear...
and my love for songs..music dance what? correlates..my two desires, my two desires myTWOdesireholymygodhelpmei'msliiping.... I guess it's a sign, am i gonna listen though, AM I??? Failure in the two failure no selfcontrol why do I love you!? damn I only knew you for a few days and I don't know you're nothing to me and i to you but we both are each other and I'm probably gonna forget about all this in a day but I just want you to no not what I do know about me thinking about you...don't know me, please, don't! but for now I'll dance in my love, i'll drown, I'll cry of pain of excess, I live in you, i LIVE, even if I'll deny all this in a day, right now I want to dream away, our souls melting in a black kettle above the fire that's white hot but will douse in a moment...
But is it wrong for me to kiss your memories (lack of)? Is it?! AM I SINNER, GOD!?
lol, craze!!!!!!!
it's lack of sleep and endless nirvana songs...I don't mind myself at all!
ah good tastes definitely. i liked a certain girl some time ago when i had nirvana and i particularly appreciated the lyrics 'love ya so much it make me sick, ah oh' :) i am a HUGE fan of nirvana. they can give you good dreams. :)
to explain- i had a mp3 player and mp3 with nirvana and lots of other music, but i gave them all away, everything.
Love is what hate not or hate is what love not and there is nothing more than this. Love is a fetter on to you, a something that engages you, imprisons you and once you get in its snare you are done up. Be prepared to be hated too if you have a passion for love.
Love is true and everlasting? I doubt. What is written in a story of love and what is idealized in people's minds are reveries, fantasies and get back to realities or wake to day to day affairs they will turn immaterial.
Do not fantasize it, for you will fall in to a pit of love, and you will start hating to love. I may sound hoarse, but it is indeed a hoax. See so many tales of love end in tragedies and those survive are some rare ones, and not out of choice, but out of compulsions of course.
Beyond veneers, you will come upon sheer realities. What you call love is simply imaginations, fantasies and nothingness.
Blaze, love can be tragic but isn't that usually because of factors outside of the lovers?
Anyway, you are right that it's illusion, but that doesn't mean you can't cultivate it and still cultivate your spirituality! Love is klitch, and its nature is illusory. Yet if it comes from a place of deep spirituality on both sides, where both sides recognize what is essential and unessential, then it can be a real love.
I would need my relationship to be based at least loosely on this understanding. I want to grow, and I want my partner to grow. I want she and I to be happy.
And perhaps I am idealist because I think people are better than what anyone else thinks. Other people have more limits. I think that people, some of them, are just really wonderful. I'm not explaining this right- but I'm not idealizing something that isn't there. I fall in love deeply and quickly and I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't try to create attachment, I don't try to get rid of it either; it arises naturally of its own and I enjoy feelings of love. I have yet to have them reciprocated in as deep a relationship as I think I'm capable of; but that isn't too discouraging. It's all in your mind. What you choose to believe becomes true.
I agree, Nikolai. Man goes through a variety of moods and they change and we all are subject to change. Everything is in flux and it goes perpetually.
Love is what we can cultivate. I love the term cultivation. Of course we can farm love and harvest it. That is why I like you and you do too.
This world, the manifestation of something, consciousness or the like is out of love of creation or else we could not be here, sharing and of course feeling at home with sharing, with this warmth.
yes, for we are battling over something, and when we battle we do not love, and that is hateQuote:

It is in everything and everybody can share it.
Love is an enigma, an obsession, a mistake, an eruption or convulsion of human impulse.
love is nothing in itself, a tsunami, a tornado that sweeps everything,but per se it is nonexistent. For it is a process, a flow only.
Love is the one thing that can make you change your mind before you start to think.
It can be the most wonderful thing in life.
Then later make you want to rip your heart out and make you wish you could die.
It can leave you speechless and mute to those who warn of a love that is wrong.
Love can take your breath away and set your life to flight.
Gain weight because you feel content with your love as it is.
There is no one else except for the one you love.
Love is many splendid and happy things.
But for every true love there are as many blue loves.
Devastation in life is to be used by one you love.
Some can't go on without their significant other.
Take their own lives, now that is death do us part.
For most of the others the true loves turn blue.
A man that had a love and thought it was true.
Broke his heart and made him blue.
This is magic, and the veracity of love is it is abysmally deep.Quote:
