so what you think about the whole "love" thing?, just curious Options

what does everyone think?

my opinion: in the end you usually get screwed over. either the people you care about/love hurt you, drift apart from you, or die. the only way it doesnt lead to pain in the end is if you die before the person you love can do those things. im not even if i can love. i never get emotional attached to anyone. but interested in other peoples opinions, though. so discuss.

Love

Love is not a fire where the simplest thing like a spark can make it happen. It’s funny how people describe love as a fire, while maybe others describe lust like a fire as well. Lust is a powerful emotion some mistake for love, lust is a sudden yearning for that person and sometimes it can very powerful. The simplest thing can spark lust within a person, a simple touch, and a small flash of skin, just seeing a beautiful woman. All those things can spark lust. So yes lust is like a fire, the simplest thing can start it, it burns greatly for a certain amount of time and can last longer if you feed it more wood (temptation) but in the end it always burns out. You see love is not like that. Some people describe love as a spark that lasts a lifetime. Well I’m sorry, sparks don’t last a lifetime, a spark lasts a second. If you notice the spark or noitce it but don't think about it, then that is all it will be, a spark, a small fraction of time where you felt a yearning but nothing more. If you think about it and feed that spark some wood (thoughts and attention) then it will start a fire, if that fire is fed too much wood it can become uncontrollable and wild. Do you know what happens when they fire becomes uncontrollable? Rape… assault…death. Why would anyone compare love to a spark? Because they do not know what love is. Why compare love to a fire? What’s so great about a fire? Anyone can make a fire. Love cannot be a fire. Love is a long process that takes hard work and effort. Like building a car, or climbing a mountain. It takes time, patience, dedication; it is not an easy thing. Love is a special thing so shouldn’t it be compared to something special? Like climbing a mountain, building a car or a house with your bare hands? Those are special achievements that, like a fire, anyone can do; but it takes a certain amount of dedication, patience and effort to do it. Some of you may be asking: “Well sure all of those things are special and are a long process but a car nor a house last forever and sure climbing a mountain is a amazing thing but after you’ve climbed to the top then that’s it. You did it, nothing else, what did you gain?” That is a good question. What do you gain from building a house or car with your bare hands or from climbing a mountain that lasts a lifetime? A memory, that will last a life time. That memory is something you will cherish for the rest of your days. It’s something you can look back on that will make you happy. If you are feeling sad, you can always think of the good memories you had and that will make you happy. That memory or memories is what you gained and that is love. Love is like your more pure, happy and charitable memory. You will never forget it and it will never forget you.

Dont confuse love with Lust.

i like that.








love...
well, i believe in it,
but i'm not searching for it.
and i know life isn't a fairytale,
but inside, i'm just hoping for that day i get swept off my feet.
