love

Lyrics

a good epigraph--maybe cite a lyric, or link us to the whole set of lyrics? Interpret this statement on love as a way to introduce "love media" such as

a) music video

b) self-help and demographically-fixed magazines that consider questions of love, diet/health and the rest (cosmo et al)

c) perennial statements on love

d) family love, interpersonal love....what are these distinctions?


What is love?

When do you know if you are really in love?

Am you in love?

What if you love someone so much but they don't love you back?

 

It may be that love encompasses the entire range of human emotion. Crying, happiness, difficulty, forgiving, excitement, laughter, easy conversations, and worrying are all part of love. As you can tell, even if you haven't experienced or related any of these states of being as love, love is not always easy. In fact, love can be very difficult. Indeed, love hurts, especially when two people who are in love and are going to different colleges. The girl knows she wants to stay with him when they go there separate ways but he keeps telling her "I don't know yet". To her, that is saying he is questioning his love for her. If he loved her then college wouldn't be a factor. If they loved each other with all their hearts, then whatever college they go to wouldn't matter. They shouldn't have to worry about their relationship if they are in love, right? This girl worries everyday as tears roll down her cheek, at least once a day. Her heart aches and hurts. She wonders everyday if they're relationship will last. He thinks they both don't have enough experience with other people to know if they are soul mates. He tells her what they have is real but if it was real there would be no thought of if we should stay together or not. She feels like she has more love for him than he has for her. How can this girl enjoy the time they have together when she knows they might not be together much longer. She doesn't want to lose him. As she sits and cries day after day he has yet to show any emotion.

Do we love each other??

Is there someone else for the both of them or are they soul mates?

WikiHow Says:

 

Say it. When you say the words "I Love You," do they carry it with them the desire to show someone you love them or do they carry it with them is it what you want to feel? And when you say it make sure you really mean it and are willing to do anything for that special person.

Empathize. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. Rather than impose your own expectations or attempt to control them, try to understand how they feel, where they come from, and who they are; and realize how they could also love you back just as well.

Love unconditionally. If you cannot love another person without attaching stipulations, then it is not love at all, but deep-seated opportunism (one who makes the most of an advantage, often unmindful of others). If your interest is not in the other person as such, but rather in how that person can enhance your experience of life, then it is not unconditional. If you have no intention of improving that person’s life, of allowing that person to be themselves and accepting them as they are, and not who you want them to be, then you are not striving to love them unconditionally.

Expect nothing in return. That doesn't mean you should allow someone to mistreat or undervalue you. It means that giving love does not guarantee receiving love. Try loving just for loving's sake. Realize that someone may have a different way of showing his or her love for you; do not expect to be loved back in exactly the same way.

Realize it can be lost. If you realize that you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of what you have. Think how lucky you are to have someone to love.

This is what the Wikipedia tells us about love:

It can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. Expressions of love may include the love for a "soul" or mind, the love of laws and organizations, love for a body, love for nature, love of food, love of money, love for learning, love of power, love of fame, love for the respect of others, etcetera. According to many philosophers, the only goal of life is to be happy. And there is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved. Love is essentially an abstract concept, much easier to experience than to explain.

 

Different kinds of love:

1- Affection: feelings of tenderness and/or wanting physical closeness

2- Attachment: satisfying basic emotional needs

3- Altruism: selfless or unselfish concern for another

4- Reciprocation: if love is mutual

5- Commitment: a desire to maintain love

6- Emotional intimacy: sharing emotions and feelings

7- Friendship: the spirit between friends

8- Kinship: family bonds

9- Passion: whole-hearted desire

10- Physical intimacy: sharing of intimate personal space

11- Self-interest: desiring rewards

12- Service: desire to help

Josh makes some great points about LOVE. I agree when he says that if we truely love someone we don't need to buy expensive things. Love is an emotion that can not be bought. I also agree with Josh that love is not taken as seriously as it used too be. People are now just yelling out the word like it doesn't mean anything. LOVE is something that you don't say at anytime, you need to feel it before you say it. Love can hurt someone when you don't mean it. I like how Josh tells us that love doesn't end with a happy ending like movies depict. Love is a challenge that can take it out of a person. Love is not easy.

I can see why some people might not want to fall in love but they are missing out on alot. To me love includes having a special someone that you can tell everything too, a friend, someone who cares and wants the best for you and someone who is there to pick you up in difficult times. Great memories come with love.

Everyone has a chance to experience love and everyone has that special someone out there. Don't be afraid of LOVE. Are you ready for the happiness, the struggle, the memories, the fights, the laughter and the friendship that comes with love?
