Love?

[Scott Ritter]

Is it real?
is it really desirable?
After all happiness is the precursor to sorrow without them we can have
peace. I want your opinion on the subject, I personally don't think it truly exists outside of stories

love...real love is the most wonderful thing in the world....

i would trade my life for a second of it  

[Scott Ritter]

but what is love to you thats the big question
to me love is a selfless emotion
but selflessness is a falsehood would you truly love someone if you got nothing out of it
and so it is lust (not nessicerly the sexual kind) but lust for acceptance, for acknowledgment for the reciprocation of your feelings
that is not love

i believe there is love but u have to work hard for it and does not really come till way in the relaship

What about when you would want them to live, prosper, and above all else, be happy? Do anything for them to be that way, no matter how much you have to go through. The selflessness of wanting someone else to excel in all that they do.

I barely got anything out of being with my ex lane. and yet i still love him just as much as i always have and always will.

he touched my heart and soul and he means so very much to me.

Love does exist, and it is worth it... even though there are hard times, and depressing moments that occur while being in a relationship with someone you love, but when you and your partner deal with it; it makes you stronger....

That is... when you are with someone you love.

emotions befoul your mind and give no end to agony
there is the root of the problems of the human condition.

people tell me all the time that without the bad there can be no good but fail to recognize that without the good there could be no bad

I find that with the advent of nigh-instant communication it is easy to find people to love. Perhaps not love in a romantic sense, but some form of love should be easy to achieve.

Really, if you cannot find someone to love on the internet, who else is left?

Emotions do nothing special to humans. Animals feel emotions and it does nothing to them. Emotions are just a channel for the problems of humans, not the source.  

[Scott Ritter]

The source is a lack of objectivity brought on by emotional entaglment

Well you can wallow in lonliness. I am going to enjoy love (which I am currently doing) in the sunshine, with birds singing and all that good crap!  

[MortSanglant]

Love is not an emotion.

There are emotions involved with love.

But love is a verb. Not only in the grammatical sense, but in the sense that you choose who you love.

 

[deadlykill7]

Love is just a chemical in you. When you "love someone" it's just the chemical acting up. it's basically, your happy with that someone.
