    What is Love?

    Wow, this is a hard one. I guess what makes it so hard is because there are so many different types of love.

    There is the love you share with your family; I think it would be called an unconditional love. This is a love you only share with you mother, father, brothers, sisters and your children. If you provoke them and they get mad and say they hate you and never want to see you again. Give it time and they will be back. There are some ungodly creatures on earth that could give up this love without bonds but it is very rare. For this is why drug addicts get away with what they do, steeling, lying and cheating. Their parents and family don’t like what they are doing but continue to take their crap. The biggest problem with unconditional love, it is a distant love and you don’t get be close all the time but is never ending. This is unless you are very young or sorry and still live with your parents.

    I guess you say the next love isn’t real, I say this because some would argue there has to be two for it to be love. I personally feel that I love myself and you should too. Some would say that is vane to love one’s self. I feel that if you can’t love yourself then who will love you. Without a feeling of self-confidence how could you excrete any hormonal courage? Who would want you if you didn’t even believe yourself to look and feel good? It is a known fact that all species of humans are attracted to confident people. Where do you think Dictators came from? I am sure that Hitler looked in the mirror and would think I am ugly and every one hates me. No way, he would say,” I’m the man!!” If you don’t think it proper to love yourself then at least like yourself for your own self-being.

    Now this brings me one of the most wonderful loves in the history of (for you ladies) Humankind. There is no love as sweet and wonderful as your first love. You won’t sleep at night and find it hard to eat. We all have had it once and it was like a dream. Some have it early in life some later. It doesn’t matter it will get you sooner or later. I love to see a first love last but most are thrown away as fast as they came to be. Why you may ask? It is because we live in a time that it is much too easy to give up then to try. It’s a shame but it is true. Another problem (sorry ladies) is women work too much anymore. They really don’t want to have a family. Well ladies and gentlemen I will say this about that (cool hugh, I didn’t know I could that either) remember when I wrote earlier about unconditional love, it’s sad but your parents one day won’t be with you anymore. Wouldn’t it be nice for them to have a namesake before they are gone and you a new unconditional love? We have lost what life is all about in rush of today’s traffic. Life is love and we need to live it everyday.

    We now have gotten to what the last love is and it is true love. True love is not something you can fall into like a first love, it is something you grow with time. It gives you the ability to overlook your partner’s faults and him yours. This is something we don’t have time for anymore and we should make the time. Anyway a true love is one that last forever and it is truly death do us part. Don’t get me wrong life has it ups and downs and so does love. You want to live so keep your love alive with you and don’t give up.

    Now I know what your thinking who does this guy thinks he is. Well I am older gentleman who is still looking for his true love and has fallen short. I married my first love and it didn’t last. I still have faith that my true love is still out there waiting on me and someday I will find her. To explain, I don’t think I am anybody just another person lost in a time of lost souls. I am trying to survive and these are my thoughts. I feel that if you have read this far you are soul searching too. I wish you luck in your venture and I hope these words see there way into your heart.

    Indeed a good analysis of love. A true love never ends, even after separation. A separation can never terminate it, even at times when two souls, whether it is between parents or children or brothers or sisters and between spouses it seems to be not existed extwernally, but it remains deposited. Of course rage, even revenge and at times egos take gripe of them and these things seem to veneer or obscure the love but nothing in the world can annihilate it.

    Naturally when a coulple divorces but the bond of love does still goes on

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

    I'm not entirely sure about, this, my being quite young, but what I lack in experience, I make up for in cynicism. People like to think about true love and to an obsessive extent; to so great of one that they seem to be consciously searching and hoping, which results in artificial and manufactured infatuations that are less meaningful than even first love, because what they seek is impersonal.

    "There are people who would have never been in love had they not heard love spoken of." ~François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld
    "I don't know whether your grasp of theology or meteorology is more appalling.
    I guess I'll go light some candles around the tobaggon and beg for mercy."
    ~Bill Watterson

    "In certain times, trying times, desperate times, profanity offers a relief denied even to prayer."
    ~Mark Twain

    "A melancholy-looking man, he had the appearance of someone who had searched for the leak in life's gas pipe with a lighted candle"
    ~P.G. Wodehouse

    A silly word, more exactly an attachment to the apparent and uninvestigated

    Vulnerability. And an unrealistic subjective ideal. And some strange combination of dopamine, endorphins, neurotrophins, and likely various other chemicals in the brain.

    Love is what has the power of transforming, and is what brings you back to your nature.
    There is no polite way
    of being happy
