Can we define love? Is there one person truely suited to another? Two people destined to be with eachother forever? I don't think so. I believe in Love. But I think that there are different types of love. For instance, I do not believe that I could love a pet the same way as I could love a romantic partner. I love my parents and my family, but I hold no romantic interests with them. Heck, the two/three people I love most in the world I'll never hold romantic feelings for, and I've never even met them face-to-face. I don't believe that there are two people set for one another. Because I do not believe in Destiny and Fate. I find both of those to be slightly depressing*. Although I do believe in a "Love"(Not the un-conditional sense of the word). The term is thrown around quite a lot nowadays, I've heard people at my school say "I love you" to one another. But I think this is mere infatuation. I believe that in order to truely love somebody, that the love has to evolve. Infatuation could lead to love. For instance. Or even friendship. But I think that the love that two people share until their deathbeds evolves from the Romantic kind, to something quite like the Unconditional kind. What are your opinions on love? Do you think that two people can be destined to be with eachother? *The thought of having my whole life planned out for me, and me not able to change any of it. I think that if that were true, life would be bland. It's also a bit Fairy-tale/disney for me. |

Love is a surreal emotion. Can't be explained, but is defined with that word. I do not believe two people are ever destined for anything. Good relationships take work. Good marriages take work. Even homosexual marriages take work. There is a lot of work involved. Love is also defined by the work put forth because of said idea. A wise person once told me that true love is when you can't stop thinking about someone. The fact that they are always on your mind and heart is the definition of love. True love never ends, and neither do the thoughts and memories. |

I've only been in love once and that was when I was little. I fell for this one girl so hard I always wanted to be around her/with her and my heart would always race when I see her again. My stomach had this endless pit sort of feeling when she left or had to leave too. ;-; I recently got in contact with her a few months ago. She went to Iraq, met a new guy there, had a kid, got married too. I was hoping to be the guy that ended up with her in the end but I guess it wasn't meant to be. ;-; |

Love can't be explained, and can't even be fairly described by the people who feel it. Love takes us to places no other feeling can take us. But I also don't believe we're meant to be with somebody, I don't believe there is a soulmate waiting for us. That seems to me like such a reduced notion of life and learnings. Two persons meet, connect, start showing interest in each other, and with some magic and romance around, love starts building slowly. Love for me happens slowly. I understand there can be a fast physical attraction, and a fast passion, but love in its deeper terms can only happen with some time. I'd like to share with you guys a poem written by a portuguese poet, called Luis de Camoes. He says: "Love is a fire that burns without being visible It's a wound that hurts but doesn't feel It's being sadly happy It's a pain that drives you crazy without pain It's not wanting anything else but wanting It's a lonely walk around people It's never being happy with happiness It's knowing that one can win by losing It's freely wanting to be a prisoner It's serving who wins, the winner It's having who to kill loyalty with But how can love create love in human hearts if love is so contrary to itself?" I know this sounds a bit strange at first, but this poem is exactly about the impossibility of describing love, about how paradoxal and contradictory it reveals to be when you try to do it. I also couldn't finish my post without mentioning The Beatles, who did such great things with this word, and who keep spreading the message of love with their songs until now. "All you need is love", "Money can't buy me love"... such true songs, simply written, yet so true. Love is all about energy, a positive strong energy, and it can move the world.

Like has been said before, I don't think that Love can be described, like most emotions and feelings. It is such a vast emotion that branches into many different types of Love. I think there are names for them, like the Love of family and friends, the love of a partner etc, but I can't remember them. As for my view on Love, I guess I'm a little sceptical. Firstly, I've never been close to being in Love so I can't really pass judgement on people. But when I see people my age (18) saying how they love eachother within days of "going out", I can't help but laugh. My best friend Dan had a girlfriend that actually complained to him for not putting "I love Sophie" in his MSN screen name! Love is somethign that takes time, sometimes years, to develop and people these days throw the word around so much it's lost it's meaning. A poet, Percy Shelley, says in one of his poems; "One word is too often profaned For me to profane it" This sums up how the word Love is used too much, and has sort of lost meaning in the younger generation. |

Can I add a question to this? At what age do people think you can truly be "in love"? (This is one of those questions whose answer I'm finding really hard to put into words - I'm watching though) Edited by Mcgeezle, Dec 11 2008, 10:25 PM.

I think Love is when you get nervous around them, maybe get a bit sweaty lol, there always on your mind, you just want to see them, your heart beats faster, you go red when your around them you get butterflies in your stomach, you lose concentration on things your doing, you can just stop and stare into space and think about them, You get butterflies from just thinking about them. all that jazz |

I don't think age matters, to be honest. Age is just a number, the person you are as an individual depends on a lot more than a number. There's not one specific age in your life when you start being able to truly love someone, that happens naturally as you grow older and get more mature. I think a teenager can understand the meaning of love, or at least be close to understand it, if they are mature enough to know that loving a person isn't just like saying "I love chocolate!", it can't be taken as lightly as that. Like Kotetsu brough up, love must be worked by the two persons in the relationship, even if it is love between friends. Every relationship we have based on love must be worked in order to stay stable and warm. |

Like Strawberry said, there's not really an age you can put as a cut-off. However, I think you have to be with somebody a very long time and put a lot of work into the relationship in order to love somebody and it is most likely that teenagers, and possibly a few years on from that, aren't going to put years into one relationship. Although if they do, then of course that is Love no matter what age you are. I think a lot of teenagers, and again some older people, confuse Love with infatuation (which I think Potato said). One of my friends had met this girl twice and claimed he was in Love. Whether he believed it or not I don't know, but I mean come on. He had barely talked to her, how could he say that he was in Love. This is the sort of mis-understanding about what Love is that happens with a lot of younger people and is most probably why a lot of people say "you're too young to know what Love is". I don't necessarily think that's true, but I do believe that the majority of the young generation do not really know what Love is. Including me :P as I've never experienced it. |

Love is ultimately a chemical reaction, but there are also some psychological plays involved. I don't think that throwing out the metaphysical or it's-more-than-that notions makes it any less significant, though. But like all emotions it's not something that stays in the mind forever. I've seen plenty of relationships that start off full of obsessive "love", but then come crashing down just a few months later. I think some of this has to do with finding somebody that you think is "perfect", which only amplifies all the imperfections. Unfortunately the term "love" gets misused all too often to mean things like "philanthropy" and most especially "mutual infatuation". Because of certain things that have happened in my life, both good and extremely bad, I don't like to get too personal about the subject. Especially over the internet. |

Ahh reading some of the posts in this topic give love a depressing definition. SOme have said it is a chemical reaction, others comment on its hardships, and mention that people misuse it, which is true I won't argue against that. However, I guess I'm someone, who believes love like a little girl in a disney movie would summon it. It's an emotion that is magical and pure. It's an undescribeable feeling that stretches through infinite times. This is what I believe love is because I've grown around couples that have expressed that. Yes, relationships can be hard at times. My grandparents were married for 52 years before my grandfather passed away, but my grandma believes she will meet him in heaven. Then my parents have been married for 30 years, and they did suffer hardships throughout their time together. Conversely, their love is what made it possible for them to continue on. It's a feeling that makes it possible to do so. True love cannot be broken. True love has no lies. True love is when one thinks about their loved one on a daily basis, but not in an obsessive way. True love is when one can't live without the other. It has been proven, in old couples that have been together for a long time, that if a partner dies from a relationship the significant other dies shortly after. This is what I think love consists of. |

I heard a few lines from a poem today, it really struck home to me, and I thought it was beautiful. So I'll post it up. Dark Things To Be Loved - Pablo Neruda I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep |
