Love

You know what!
ive heard all these different definitions of what love is supposed to be, and its interesting to know other peoples ideas, but for me its simple, it starts with just one word!

RESPECT !

love is simple, its a feeling with nothing else attached, once you start attaching life with it, then its not pure love, i.e. money problems, expectations for the person to change, etc.

Love cannot be defined in terms of partnership, as a whole, as being a single entity ... it can only be defined for self-love, independently, centered around the self >>> there's no such thing as unconditional love.

Once this truth ^^^^ comes full circle .... then you naturally know how to love another human being, without confusion, without questions being asked, without unrealistic expectations, which creates >>>>> honest sincerity, complete respect, and unbiased understanding.

Love...real Love, is caring about the happiness of another without any thought for what we might aquire for ourselves. For, when we give unconditional Love (caring about the happiness of another person) for another, we are not disappointed, angry, hurt, even when others are thoughtless or inconsiderate or give us nothing in return including their gratitude....because, our concern is for their happiness, not our own - Real Love is unconditional.

Most people do not believe that unconditional Love is possible mainly because so few of us have experienced this in our lives. What this incredible Love feels like is....knowing you do not have to impress anyone for them to like you, they accept you just as you are, You will be loved no matter what you do.

Real Love is, I care how YOU feel where conditional Love is, I care how you make ME feel. Two notable signs that love is not genuine - Disappointment and Anger. When we experience these feelings, we are being made aware that we are not getting what WE want and we are not caring for the other person's happiness only our own.

Love = unconditonal acceptance of another....... my personal thought anywho!

I love the way you put it lunamistress.... I really don't believe those things ever interfere with love - they are just excuses for someone to avoid admitting they aren't in love.

Love itself.... I don't think can be described really..... you can try - but it's just something you feel. Like a smell you KNOW but just can't place no matter how hard you try to think of what it is. There just aren't adequate words.

We don't have that conversation any more, and she agrees that the love we have now is better than what we did when we met.
********
HAHAHAHA

PERFECT!!!

Why do people need to ask this question, again and again, do you love me—

LOVE JUST "IS"

It is patient, kind, respectful, gentle, truthful, humble, understanding...it isn't necessarily physical, but nice when it is. It is a connection without attachment.

Funny, though, before you can truly "LOVE"...you must know yourself, be comfortable with yourself, respect yourself, be honest with yourself...love yourself.

When this happens, the rest just comes naturally...
