Love

[theOperaGhost]

I stole this from one of Kodie's blog entries kind of but anyhow. Do you think love exists? Do you think people love other people anymore?

I don't think there is much love in this world anymore. Divorce rates and child abandonment just seems to rise. I don't think there is true love in this world and that sucks.

[raiders rule]

yeah i think there is still love in this world, i mean as the world becomes more populated the crime rate is sure to jump

Based on personal experience (for all you think that's worth at my age, hahaha-shut-up-Deschain) I have to disagree.

What does crime have to do with love...?

I'm in a bit of a rush right now so I'll make a more in-depth reply later, but basically I'll have to say that I think true love still exists out there, it's simply one of the things you never hear about. With society and the media these days so vile and crude, everything is about tits and ass and saying things you don't really mean. Hell, not too long ago I came across a song called "I fell in love with a stripper" by (a number of "artists" I don't recall) that basically droned on describing some woman's body. That's not love, that's lust, something completely different...

I'd hate to pull the "kids growin' up too fast" card out of my ass, but that's exaclty what I think is the problem- Kids are thinking they have to get into relationships younger and younger, and these people are less and less experienced, so they're all just growing up to be inexperienced people with the wrong ideas.

Love exists, but its much harder to find. More people are marrying too early and/or getting pregnant too early.

I can't really decide if love exists. I don't say "I love you" in relationships. If you date someone for a week, you don't love them yet. That's my opinion.

Love takes time. You need to know all the person's habits, cute or annoying. Know their flaws, everything. I guess I would say love exists, to a certain extent.

[Mannequin]

love exists. its an incredible, amazing feeling.

Okay, I re-thought it over so here's a whole new post.

I do day dream about this topic a lot, I'm not going to lie.

Sometimes I do wish that some fat baby in a diaper would go around and shoot arrows,
Making people call passionately in love, but it's just not like that.

Love isn't automatic I realize. Love at first site is just about impossible. Real true love takes time.

The sad thing is that the idea of never finding love scares the shit out of me, and that's a big part in why I want to travel when I'm out of college, or study abroad while I'm in it.

I think of love as a building: you need a strong foundation to start with before you can begin to build, and to build, you need to fine the right 'contractor' or 'person' if you will. To tell you the truth, my best boyfriends have been on a friend's first basis rather than some random get-together because there was something there initially, and those relationships lasted the longest and I'm still friends with those ex's because of that foundation, so there is still love there in a way.

A lot off times when I'm feeling washed up and inadequate I tend to feel the same void of loneliness because I can't find someone to call my love, somebody to be there when I need to just be told that I'm loved and held, besides friends or family, or for me to do the same for that person. I will admit, I am constantly lonely because I can't ever seem to find somebody and at times I feel like there's no point in my dragging on but I just remember that there will be somebody out there, there is hope since I'm still young.


Okay, I'm done editing.

Love in my mind is a strong natured will to care about those who are always around you. As time goes by that love only gets stronger when two people know they can still be close even after a fight. It's not about how much you show it by hugging and kissing. It's about the tings you do for this person whether it be going to something thats important to him/her. Or sucking up your pride and going with him/her to their friends house even though you strongly dislike this person, just to make this person happy. Love is about the sharing of feelings between two individuals over a period of time, in this period of time, they both care for each other. Love is not a relationship which lasts for a week and you say it over and over again. Love takes a while to create it doesnt just come when you ask someone out or the second you meet someone. It takes time just like every other thing in this world.

no matter how much bad there is in the world there is always some good.
actually there is a lot of good. you have to be an optimist instead of a pessimist.
there are tons of caring people out there that do love (like us AshMar and me Fray). i care for my parents my friends. i love them to death, and would do anything for my family and certain friends. its unconditional love because no matter what they do, they will always have a place in my heart. and there are tons of people that think the same as i do. so love does exist you just have to look in the right places.

-fray, :)

I love all of my close friends very deeply. Some of them more than family. I have no doubt that love exists because I have so much of it.

[serial-thrilla]

Im extremely jealous of people who can love. I can see how much joy they get from love. Ive never felt love for anyone, Im hoping I someday will though.

Ditto...I feel the exact same way...

Love does exist. You just have to look hard to find it.
Sure, the world isn't what we want it to be ---full of crime and other stuff. But in reality, deep deep down in every person and thing.. (haha) there is love.

[Requin]

Yes it does exist. Only people who have never truly loved say that it doesn't exist.
It's not a little man in a nappy with wings and a bow and arrow. It's something from deep inside us, which is probably just a natural thing to us homosapians. We care for things, people, family, friends, pets everything. We even care for people who we've never met before. That's the brilliance of us humans for you. :-)

[Sapphire]

Yes, I firmly believe that it does. Just in different forms.
There's love that you would have for family members, friends, partners and people in general. I see compassion as almost an unconditional love for people, so in my eyes love is the main driving force behind organisations like the Red Cross.

I believe that it literally makes the world go round. I know that there is cruelty and abuse in the world. But it isn't the only thing in existence.

[Zan0ra]

I'm in absolute love right now..... Trouble is i'm not loved back :(

[Dolphus Raymond]

I think "true love" is pretty much just normal friend-love, except with added strength (sometimes irrational) and maybe hormones. I also think you can fall out of love, and people can change. But I don't think a high divorce rate means love doesn't exist at all.

[Mr. Smithers]

Its for some. Not for many others. Its mysterious. It can make or break you. Some people feel better without it, some people die for it.

I told you it was mysterious.

[*Dissident*]

there are three kinds of love:

Eros: Erotic love.

Philios: Brotherly Love

Agape: Unconditional love.

Besides certain member of my family, I have never obtained agape. I thought I had once, but then we broke up and it changed. Agape is what makes two people spend their lives together. It doesnt mean you never fight, or even like eachother all the time... it just means those things dont really matter.

Love exist. But that can be mistaken as lust.

[Brazdar]

Ye, love exist, but the divorce rate dosen't prove the contrary, it shows that people are undecided, i guess

After the wedding, the love lasts 3 or 4 years, then a deep friendship appears, they become life partners, but love can be rediscovered by the two of them, right?

Never really thought of that.
