What is love? How many kinds of love are there in our life? Is it possible to love more than once during the whole life? Can love make a person live or die?
Love... Some people say, that love is a mixture of different feelings (e.g., sympathy, devotion, passion, spiritual affinity). Others think, that love is just a chemical reaction and nothing more. And there are many people who can tell you: "Love is something unexplainable! You can only feel love, but not describe it. Love is a super-feeling!" and so on and so forth. So I want to tell you, that what love is depends only on you and your own attitude to it.
There are many kinds of love. Let me enumerate only some of them. They are love between a man and a woman, love to your mother (parents, relatives), love to your children, love to art, philanthropy, etc. In this blog I'm going to tell you some words only about the Love between a Man and a Woman.
So, this Love can become a really great feeling or can be easily ruined. It all depends only on the two people who have this feeling. Love makes us do crazy things, act in a strange way for us. A person who loves can cope with everything and pull through all the difficulties. Love can make a person die, but its only his/her choice whether to let the feeling do this or not. I don't think that love can return a human being to life. Maybe it can, but in cases of changing an emotional state from depression to optimism or something like this, or if we speak about the situations when love makes a person leave bed after a terrible disease.
To answer the last question I've asked above, I should say a very few things. It depends on what love is for you. For example, if love is just a chemical reaction, so we can outlive it many times. Here I can tell you only my opinion. I think that love is a super-feeling, and a human-being can Love only once in his/her life.
And let me wish you some things. Love each other. Love is one of the greatest things in our world. To love means to create something new and very positive.
Is there something called true love? Or is it something that chick-lit novels and movies want us to believe in to keep us going? Like UFOs or some similar urban myth that asserts their presence only in the minds of those in doubt. Such thoughts cross your mind specially when you have fallen out of love or a relationship that you gave your all fell apart like a castle of cards. Finding that ideal person and that perfect relationship to last a lifetime isn’t possible. With age, you realize that true love isn’t waiting for you somewhere. It’s there, deep inside you. Simmering, brewing and slowly building up like water closeted by a dam. When you meet the right person, it surges out like a long-held secret. That’s when you want things to work out. You are ready to commit and accept responsibilities for your actions. In a very practical sense of the term, it’s when you are open to share your life without feeling the need to draw boundaries. A relationship, like a house, cannot be kept in a perfect state without working on it every single day. A small chink will become a large crack in no time at all. You have to be vigilant, sensitive and perceptive. All the pieces will fall in place like a Rubik’s Cube when you are finally in the company of that one special person.
I believe that we can`t discuss such thing as love, because I think we don`t know what love is. We can discuss it when we will be old people. Then we can say if we have had such sense or not.
Are you sure? Yes, you can discuss it. But there is one but - have you ever been in love? Have you ever made your heart and mind work for it? Have you ever taught yourself how to love for ever? Old age is not a condition required to know what love is. Some old people have never experienced true love.
I don't know. Love is a simple thing. You feel it and understand it. It can be short or long, bright or discouraging, at first sight or as the last resort, happy or deadly and terrifying, invigorating or disappointing, cheap or expensive, material or spiritual. Well, there are many 'loves'. Silly to argue or quote some famous writers or poets. They are all the same people who lived in other times and places.
I don`t think that love is a simple thing. Now may be I think that I love, but I can meet other person and then I think,that HE is my love and other feelings I have had before weren`t love
Love IS a simple thing. Do not confuse it with a conventional physical attraction that can happen now and then. Love IS a simple thing. You will definitely recognize it when you can't sleep, think, eat, breathe, walk, work, buy, spend.... without your love near you. if the one whom you love stops loving you, you suffer physically and morally.
I would insist it is based on the same things all over the world. People react to love differently. Some people may not need it at all, born to take but not to give. Love is giving. Love is living for your beloved one. Love is thinking like your beloverd one does. Love is about liking the same things. It also means looking at each other, not only in the same direction. Yes, at each other, When people stop loving what they see, feel, touch, hear, smell, they stop loving each other.
I think we tend to complicate matters. Maybe all strong feelings that we experience ( not only love) are really very simple. Well, there is no absolute truth.
Changes are various. Well, your first love experience is the desire to be together due to physical attraction, similarity of opinions, mutual need of care and help, and, speaking scientifically, due to the fact that your partner expands your physical and social territory. On the other hand, as time passes, love (if there is any) changes and acquires new qualities, new forms, new accessories, so to say. In this new love there is now more of your own self, it is really part of mind, language, soul and body. Love grows and has history. You may not bring or wait for lots of flowers and visits to the theatre or restaurants, but you cannot live without creating your own traditions, mutual behaviour patterns, similar look on life matters, awareness of great support in any situation. Because it is BIG YOU! It is your conscious and subconscious strategy to live in peace and harmony.
If a person can love more than once, should the responsibility for other person or a family prevail over a new feeling? So, what is more important - one's moral duty or one's love?
I think it's impossible to put apart these two notions. Love is a moral notion, duty is not only responsibility but an understanding of your power of love. You can't love without a sense of duty to the partner's love. Love is hard work.
Love is a nice and a horrible thing. It makes us more happy and more unhappy...Everyone gets from love one's share... Btw, who believes in love at first sight? I don't belive in it..
I'm sure we can't understand that we love a person when we first see him. We fall in love which often doesn't go further then only infatuation for this person. We can say that we love a person only when we really understand that it is not one more flirt and that we want to spend every minute and second with this person.We don't think that he will see us in bad condition, mood, unwell and so on. This is love for me.
I have a hunch that the topic will cause some emotional disturbance among the users. This is good. The topic you've raised is one of the things that makes us human. Love is a superb state of one's heart and mind, the affect and the reason. Methinks that a human being can love more than once.
I suppose, that a person can fall in love more than once, but love... Actually, I can't agree with you. Even if a man/woman loves more than once, they can't feel it to several different people at the same time. Nevertheless, I think I'm too young to speak about this topic with certainty.
I agree with the author that there are many kinds and descriptions of love but what kind of love a person has depends only on him: on his character and his ideals. There are so many descriptions of love and all of them are, on the one hand, right but on the other hand they are wrong. Because every person, as I've already said, has his own point of view. Love makes us do amazing things. We give our hearts to a person we are in love with. We almost fly. We want to take a deep breath, to live...our eyes shine and, I should say, everybody sees it. For me its rather funny. But with that, love can bring us pain which will be the most unbearable in our life. For me, it is the greatest and the worth feeling I can have but nevertheless I'm sure it's worth feeling. So, love each other and value every moment of it.
