Topic: Are you in Love with Love? | |
---|---|
Hollywood says "Love" is the greatest thing in the universe that sets us apart from animals. So we all seek "Love." Not just an ordinary love, but a "true" love. Hollywood kind of love where you would literally sacrifice everything for this love. They say there is love at first sight. Love at first sight, sounds superficial.
So are we all conditioned by hollywood to search for this true love, preferrably at first sight? What happened to growing together? Learning together. Living together. Experiencing things together. Challenging each other. Understanding each other. Aren't we all here merely to understand other's interests and commonalities to eventually talk, meet, and do activities to explore each other? IMO, Love comes much much later later after we experience and understand how we react to varying degrees of challenges. |

I think that as we mature we give up on that "hollywood" love. We know better, and no I am not in love with "love". I dont seek it out from everything that walks. That isnt love......thats desperation!!

I Share ....
I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love. " This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds. This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love ... They try to posses it, they demand, they expect ... And just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free, You can not change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings. Give and don't expect. Advise, but don't order. Ask, but never demand. It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love.To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring." |

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river." The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand." "What's the difference?" asked the puzzled father. "There's a big difference," replied the little girl. "If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."
In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours... |

I'm in love with love the thought of being in love makes me happy sharing new experiences with someone and enjoying life taking advantage of every moment we have together

I believe it can happen.
Our society just tries to get us to believe otherwise. Thank the media for that. |

I know there is no perfect love for those of us on this earth, except from God, but I think there is someone for us that is perfect for us, faults and all. Love goes along with that.

Im afraid of people who are in love with love. Sorry, but if all they want is that euphoria, giddy feeling then they will be disappointed.
And when that wears off......they are gone or you are gone. |
