Think about love., forever love

Hmmm... How did it actually happen, that we've let such a topic be buried?))) Isn't anyone interested in love?))) Ok... Love... I think, that it is very close to sacrifice. What do u think?))

well, is it really a sacrifice? you give your everything to the one you love, but it`s your decision and noone can make you do that if you don`t want. "From we get we make a living, from what we give we make a life", isn`t it true?)))
for me love is the only reason to live, the sense of life. I mean "love" in all its definitions and meanings, love to your parents, friens, to the world surroinding you, to some activities, and of course to the person, which makes you become better, makes you wanna spend all your life only with this exact person, this kind of love is the most beatuful, overwhelming and at the same time it becomes a utopian one.. I mean the words "and they lived happily ever after" are almost utopian, unfortunately, coz our world is filled with lies, misunderstanding and cruelty. People forget how to love, how to save this incredible feeling to the end of their lives, and those who can are not always happy too!

desertrose, Excellent post!))) You know, we are actually speaking about the same things, and pretty much - making similar conclusions. It's just we call it different names)) When i call love a "sacrifice", i don't mean one is doing it unwillingly)) But to love, to express all your TLC - one needs to refuse something he (she) is used to do. When you love - you tame your own desires in order to meet requests of your beloved one, when you love - you seek other's joy rather than yours)) That IS a sacrifice. But if you love - you are not depressed by it, it's quite an opposite - you are enjoying it))

Lovenkrantz, oh, I understand what you`re talking about and agree with you)) "our happiness is the happiness of our beloved ones", and to make them happy we sometimes make sacrifices, but it`s our decision and desire. )) and real love can`t depress you, it makes you fly))

Love is omnipotent: it is not on earth neither burning — higher than punishment of it nor happiness — higher than pleasure to serve it.©
Love is too great sense, to be only by the personal, intimate file each!©

I'm comletely in agreement with everything told before. Nothing to add.
Maybe lets speek about such burning issue as - what to do when relations give the air?
Аnd how to distinguish love from affection, passion, appetence etc? If their any distinguish at all?

Yeah - that seems to be a REAL discussion... ))) Well, i believe we should begin with asking ourselves - what are the reasons of it& Whar had actually brought us to that point? Well... I'd be so pleased to listen to girls' opinion, why do relations "expire" with time?)) What are the most common reasons to your mind?

Yeah... you can actually, distinguish. You know, we tend to call 'love" any affection or sympathy we feel towards person. But love - is very complicated and DEVELOPING thing. Love encloses such aspects as being ready to sacrifice, to give in, to endure, to accept. love doesn't try to gain any purpose, neither it is selfish. If you say you love a person "beyond your ken", but you trust your best friend more - don't full yourself, it's not love, it's affection. If you say you love, but don't know (or don't even want to know) what your partner dreams of - it's not love, it's flirt...

I guess it happens when the euphoria from the 1st acquintance trails down and you begin to explore what kind of person he(she) really is. and very often you find out, that you were wearing pink glasses. Pretyy often you feel disappointed, coz he(she) appears to be absolutely different personality, not the one you considered him(her) to be.

you are right...
to say "I love you" takes only few seconds, but to proove it - all your life©
that`s all I can add.

Love is something beautiful, in my imagination, because I haven't felt it yet. But I think there is only ONE TRUE love in the world. Other people that we love and then part with, and later forget them are just passion.
As Britney Spears sings in her song: "Love is a state of grace"^_^

Love'good, love is really beautiful and when you meat your real love - do your best to save this feeling for all your life. in other cases - it is extremely painful - to loose it.
