I have no idea exactly what love is, what causes it, or how it works. I doubt if anybody does.
I can tell you that the unrequited kind gets really old after a while.

To me love is one of the only things you can't possible explain with any sense of logic..
love consist in in the very rare moment where you feel utterly happy.. a bit like meditation, several aspects of life melt together and you see the world in a different light..
In those moments you feel an indescribable sense of unity... feeling that way towards another human being has nothing to do with materials of the evey day life, it is much to rare for reason..
Love is an attraction. It is not a thing, it's the word we use to express a profound attraction for someone. (or thing...)
hullo Blonde, how are you kitten?
Hey Joe, miss you.
To me real true love doesn't have much to do with ourselves as being first in anything. Feeling happy,warm fuzzy feelings is to me simply having desires gratified. Babies have that feeling as soon as they are given the breast or bottle, changed, given a toy or food they desire. But that is not love.
To me love is being kind and gentle and good and thoughtful as well as supportive to another with absolutely no thought of getting something back. Viewing the other as so important and worth while that one's own desires come second.
On the other hand love, to me is also never bending the core of who I truly am and what I honestly stand for to impress another or let them have their way when it would be wrong for he/him and disatrous for me. To lose who I am is to put that person in a position of a god and then I would be incapable of showing true love to that person. I would cease to exist and merely become an extension of the other.
True love, to me, always seeks the highest and best for the other no matter what.
And meaness and spite and revenge have absolutely no place to me in the realm of true love, whether that love be directed toward a lover, friend, child, parent.
love is more thicker than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail
it is most mad and moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea
love is less always than to win
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less littler than forgive
it is most sane and sunly
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky

oh sweet guy,
that is very pretty.
hope you are well.
Oh boy!! :banana: Both TN and Rachel! Hi guys. :wave:
A lot of what has been said here is absolutely true. Love itself probably does exist outside of what we know as reality, and it surfaces in true caring-not just about human beings but about the entirety of our lives in general. Obvious you view love in a more natural state, meaning loving another human being. Your ex-girlfriend seems to take a more materialistic view of life, in that love cannot exist without things to support her internal value structure. I'm sure it's not that you didn't share love, but that your value structures are so different that it was difficult to maintain love based on each other's view of life. Don't worry. There's someone, maybe many someones, out there who will share your value system and there's no harm in waiting, learning, and trying people on in the process of finding them. It will be worth your wait to know that the person you are with will share not only your life, but will reflect your values and feelings in a more appropriate manner. ;)
Love is a name we give to certain "phenomena". It is more about a name, a definition we use to identify those certain feelings, than a proof for the existence of something.Quote:

The word love:overused, under-rated and Falsely claimed. But the emotion? A point of discussion since the beginning of human life....I still haven't figured it out. i don't know how to describe it, but i do believe that love exists and we love everyone at different capacities. Some more truly than others. Maybe this girl couldn't understand the capacity of your love. Or, maybe she did not have the capacity to love you completely without outside factors. Either way, i'm sure you will find someone who will love you as strongly as you love them.
It simply means a natural feeling of likeness toward something.
I disagree. Naturally liking something is attraction, not love. The difference, as oh-so-many can attest, is considerable.
John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends.
That is love, to me.
As Rachel said, the verses in Corinthians define it as well.
Love is a magnetic pull, that which draws us to other like beings. But when it's based wholly on EROS it can't last, being just the biological urge of one body towards another. No permanence there. For as the body alters with time and may become boring in its very familiarity, so interest diminishes. Whereas AGAPE is the higher urge, the pull of one kindred mind/soul to another that only gets better through shared experience.
Message to Aragorn: Your ex girl friend, who wants a BMW, isn't really "into" love. At least not at this point in her life. She's after status symbols, material things that will make her feel good about herself. She needs to grow up, emotionally, before she's ready for a deeper connection. So don't "cast your pearls before swine" any longer. Keep looking. Your real soul-mate is out there somewhere and when the time is right, you'll find her.
