I was thinking and i was just curious what you guys thought love means or what love is. Do we naturally love or do we learn to love?

In response to the recent topic of true love, I want to see what people's definitions of true love are. Mine is:
First of all, you have to be able to love yourself before you love anyone else, that is what I think. People have to be content with themselves before they can be content being with another human being. People without self-confidence most likely end up being DEPENDENT on the other person. They often mistake it that dependency for love when it's not. You should never have to say "I need this person". Need is a dependent word and there is no place for that in true love. This also leads to people who love only because it gives them an identity. These people say things like "What am I without them?" They're only looking for relationship because it gives them a place to be and an identity to assume. These people go crazy when someone leaves them; they start losing all senses of themselves; they lose all track of their lives. They instantly seek out any person who would take them. This isn't true love. My second point has to do with true love. When you truly love someone, you must be able to do that even when you're not with them. Just because someone decided not to be with you, it shouldn't take away the love you have for that person. And that love should always be there, forever. You have to be able to look back at that person after 10 years of no contact and still say you love them. Sure they may have changed but deep down they're the same person and if you truly love them, that's what you love, not the outer layer. Lastly, true love is by CHOICE. Falling in love isn't true love because it's not something you wanted to happen. If you can fall into love you can fall out of love. At first things may seem like love but it doesn't really develop until you've known that person very well. After you've seen all their faults, you can choose to love them or not and that's when it counts. You choose love, love doesn't choose you. Yeah it's kinda long and I don't expect anyone to read it but I'll read all of yours cause I'm like that. |
