I think that the emotions that we describe under the banner "love" are multiple, and that they vary in strength and duration.


I have yet to be 100% convinced that Love in itself, the way we like to describe it, actually exists.

No, the more I think about it, it's definitely a shame. Speaking generally here, to not believe in love could surely only be possible by not feeling love from anyone and not feeling love for anyone or anything. That is most definitely a shame in my eyes. Are there people in the world like that? If so, that's a shame.

Yes. Every opportunity I'm given.

OMG you are much too soft..

Do you love your parents?

"love" or what you call love, is nothing more than a biological reaction to a given stimuli. For instance, I see a man with bow legs and I experience "love" or "the love feeling." to give it its text book name.

It's this heart thing.

Fauxie said:

I feel sick..

REDFEATHERS said:

It'll pass.

Fauxie said:

I think that explains your behaviour as of late..

Fauxie said:

TALK TO ME, I'M WAITING TO LOVE YOU

Mach said:

Really, this summed it up. To intellectualize it misses the point, as I am guilty of doing on this thread.

mirrorlove2u said:

I know you.

Fauxie said:

YES!

REDFEATHERS said:

I can't help it.

Oh, to be a mountain hermit.

Love isn't about half past shit.

And I mean that shit.

I agree. Love is coherence.

Fauxie said:

hey...i resemble the mountian hermit comment

So you dig this Irish Prince?

There are many different interpretations

Fauxie said:

Interesting, because of course I am going to say "yes" to that, unequivocally, so I must believe in love, huh?

I suppose I was talking about romantic, sexual love. Love for family/ children, yes, that is a given. At least I would bloody hope so.

mirrorlove2u said:

To be honest, I was lost with the whole Irish comment a little. I love the country and have an Aunt who lives there. Haven't been able to visit more than a handful of times in the last couple of years though.

exactly...everyone has their own interpretation of what love is..

for me, it's understanding, trust, passion, attraction, honesty, peace, affection, RESPECT, equality...all those things muddled in2 one immense feeling (there's more 2 it than the qualities i listed...those r just off the top o my head)

i think what we often do that throws us off, is that we might only see one or two of those things in a person, and imediately take it 4 love...the word to me jus seems like a lazy way of expressing feelings 4 someone...but it's all good...

it has lost symbolic meaning thru the years, but it's good 2 see that there are still a few people who stay tru 2 what they believe it's meaning is...love is a beautiful thing...

it's funny i should come accross this thread...im doing a correspondence course right now and in my second unit, they're discussing love and relationships, and they're throwing all these theories @ me about how we really find a good partner..i just laugh...i would hate for love 2 become something of science...can we leave aesthetics alone?

but 2 get back 2 the point...Love 2 me, is many different qualities all in one...and for it 2 be true love...i would have 2 see more than 5 of those qualities...it sounds like im setting standards i know, but it's not...it's simply my way of testing myself 2 see if what i'm feeling is more than just lust...

love love...

Slash said:

Existence is a tricky thing. I'm sure that love exists on one level, at least conventionally and dependently, in the sense that it's a word and here we are talking about, all with a pretty unified mutual understanding of the topic. Whether the things we ascribe the word to also exist and how is definitely open to question. I know unicorns exist in that if I were to ask you to draw one, you could, and if I also were to draw one, ignorant of your actions, I would produce a similar picture. We know what they look like, what colour they are, their general size and shape, so there's an existence right there as 'real' as any other.

There I go again.
