Someone once told me that love is the greatest

Power in the world. He used the example of God (for those who believe. For those who don't insert whatever name). Do you agree with his statement? Any examples? Does it have to be mutual love or could it begin with/ be from one individual? What are your thoughts?

Sometimes I believe in love, sometimes I don't.

I'd never forget one thing I was told in my teens though by some old guy. He told me that those who are meant to be together, never end up together & I've seen it happening too so I believe it. My favourite love story have always been Layla & Majnu.

WarerCup, so you are saying star crossed lovers seems to be what you have seen the most. Could it be that they weren't meant to be after all or maybe just not at that time in life?

What have you noticed seems to be the main reasons they aren't together? Any common denominator?

Tiz, I would have to agree. Seems as if you either have the love or searching for it

I really don't know if they werent really meant to be in the 1st place, only God knows lol.

What I've noticed is, both people knew from the start that they belong together, but somehow things don't really work out for some reason. They give it several tries but it never works out. Finally one gives up but each consider the other to be the love of their life until the end. Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton are one of the examples & so is Frank Sinatra & Ava Gardner.

Richard & Liz broke up many times & married twice. When they got divorced the final time, he married someone else & spent the rest of his life with her..but he NEVER forgot Liz. Wks or days before he died he sent her a letter telling her that he misses her, loves her & wants to be together with her again, etc. Liz was on tour when the letter arrived at her house & when she finally read it he was dead. She kept it until her death.

Frank 1st saw Ava on a magazine cover & told one of his friends that he was going to marry her...but he was already married to Barbra at the time & had kids with her. Finally Frank & Ava met at the Meyer Studios, I think they were both filming movies. Long story short, they dated for years & he ended up divorcing his wife & married Ava days after the divorce was finalised. They had a rocky married, both had jealousy issues, temper, etc. They divorced in the end but both never got over the other. Ava died alone but it is said that she spent her lonely evenings in the dark listening to Sinatra's records. Frank bought a statue that was modelled after her for her role in the movie Mugambo, he had it installed in the garden of his house..she was still alive at this time. It is said that he spent drunken nights caressing & talking to the statue. All his women knew Ava was irreplaceable even the woman he later married, another Barbra. When Ava died Frank couldn't be consoled, his daughter said it in her book..he didn't even attend the funeral. Reporters said he was later seen in a limo by

Continued, later seen in a limo by her grave but he never got out. He paid a florist to deliver flowers to Ava's grave weekly until HE died. I think his daughter still continues to do it because that's what he would have been still doing had he still been alive.

@Jynja, I also believe/believed that the Unirverse wouldn't get in the way of two people meant to be together, but it looks like it does & like you said, they aren't ready. Personally I think it's cruel, why let them meet in the 1st place? Love like that can't be replaced or imitated & the two people involved must be feeling dissatisfied & sad for the rest of their lives. Cruel.

Might be a twin flame/karmic relationship

Do you believe in twin flames? I want to stop believing in that shit lol, maybe all the weird stuff is wishful thinking with a huge dose of obsession. Ugh.

I noticed once I stopped labelling relationships, I started forgetting them.

Tiz I've said this to you before & I'm going to say it again, you still haven't experienced love, or at least a certain type of love. People just don't go around labelling every man or woman as their soulmate or twinflame...it takes some really scary things that push you to look for answers & when you finally get them, guess what? It has a label.

I have to keep myself in check and get back to earth.

I would hate to believe in things that results in great disappointments. I don't want to invest my time in feeling and thinking about someone who has discarded every single bit of me. I hate to be the only one gripping on when it turns out its nothing. Silly girl I am. I will learn it so saturn doesn't keep slapping my ass.

Those are beautiful love stories though WC.
The heart is weak and susceptible if you don't prepare the mind for it.
You know, one spends all his life trick or treating* and then meets someone who has that same level of energy. You just don't know what to do with it. Its when life throws a curve ball, someone who mirrors your unseen side. Hence the twin flame affect.

*sigh* Yes

Lol!

I miss that feeling though. Being with another person, sharing thoughts and strengths. Living la vida loca. I felt so invincible and so at home. To find at least one person out there who you could share everything. Then you just end up crashing and burning in the end and find yourself in the show LOST.

LOL @ living lavida loca. Scorpio? It's him, right?

I never knew about twinflames, only soulmates & me & the ex believed we were soulmates. When we broke up, really creepy things started happening. At 1st I thought it was pure coincidence. The very 1st time I was coming from work, took off my shoes & switched on the tv...the very 1st word from the tv was my ex's name. This guy on tv with my ex's name was an uncle to some guy who was murdered..it was the 7 o'clock news. What really made me REALLY notice was when one of my husband's prayer books fell into the floor, the wind blew a window open & knocked ONE book to the floor...I went to pick it up & saw one of the prayers...it was my ex's name again. It was a prayer for luck. How I knew about twinflames? I took a book from the library, Linda Goodman's Love Sign & I took a break from the book to go eat lol. I returned to the book after I was done & continued to read about OUR compatibility. After I was done reading I went back to the 1st page to check the page for me & my husband's signs. Before I could even do that I noticed my finger stained one of the pages with grease lol. The grease stain was on something about twinflames, so I read that & FINALY..everything made sense. I googled it like crazy after that hahaha.

Thats just freaky. I would leave my house immediately if some weird shit took place.

It used to scare me before, I thought I was crazy..hallucinating but not anymore.

The thing is no matter how long and how eventful it may have been with the Aries, she never even really had a chance from the start. It was completely overshowed by what happened with the Cancer before her. Which I didn't actually realise until I got a long break from it all. So it more or less puts it all to bed in terms of relevance really.

Weird thing was he said I was his karma. A lot of things said and happened. I think we exercisee each others evils like the exorcist. I hate that he cheated but there are a lot of good qualities I cant deny. I hate myself for it.

I know the feeling. Do you still miss him? How long were you two together?

This is a subject that is so close to my heart

I was told by astrologers that i have a very strong need to find a soul mate (heavily packed 7th house). It was always a burning desire for me to be with what i thought was *the one*

The universe in its skill brought be a son and there and then i was to learn about what love was ~~ that is a constant love, that doesn't fade or put on conditions

The other type of love is often transient and only brought to us to make babies and then often time to move on

If only we were taught this as teenagers, there wouldn't be all the delusions and false hopes we build up

There is nothing like love for a child or the love from a child. Boy that sounds creeperish.... I mean in a parental/ caregiver sense. Despite my daughter and I butting headd , I love her more than any other. I guess I could say the same for my mom...

Posted by Jynja
Interesting theory, WC.

I would never have thought the universe would hold two people that are meant to be together apart. Of course, some souls are just not ready to be together too, so they end up like Frank and Ava. But, it also seems right in a twisted way that such attraction/love will not be left for only two people to share. It is way too great a force, I think.

On the subject of love though; I learned love in a very unromantic way. My bff thought me 'how' to love, and I dare say what I learned is so different from romantic attraction, infatuation and the lusty headiness we usually call love.

However, I also believe there are different kinds of love. And the purest must be God's love, though I don't think it can be described by any man or woman.

What did you learn of it?

Almost 3 years.

Of course I miss him but you learn from the first. The how to* get over your ex.

Hate myself that I still see the good despite of how an ass he was.

But if there's anyone who showed me people can change, it would be him.

Frank was a sagittarius & Ava was a capricorn. Both had pisces moons. I doubt astrology has something to do with twinflames, maybe the devil does though lol.

Answer me, xyg. No smileys lol.

I love other people's love stories.

Ok

So from what you guys are saying, it seems that people that "should" be together have pretty tumultuous relationships. I wonder what creates that desire for the other person.

I agree. Most of the world's problems come from lack of respect & love for self AND others.

I agree that God's love is the greatest power of all b/c his love is unconditional, meaning that he'll have your back, still love you the same & stick it out with you no matter what wrongs you do.

That kind of love can only come from God b/c us humans can't possibly love unconditionally lol For humans, loving someone no matter how much they sh**t on you is called being a doormat, having low self-esteem & being just plan stupid lol

Those who find love, success & happiness that actually LASTS are those who mastered the ability to love self & others. Those who are the most miserable are those who can't master this or who have gave up mastering those very things.

You gotta "love" money and/or success enough to make money/succeed
You gotta "love" yourself enough to be treated with respect by self/others
You gotta "love" life enough to enjoy it
You gotta "love" others enough to have a fulfilling life full of people who enhance your life & being fulfillment to it

See my point? Love is at the center of ALL good things & long-lasting things. Some people try to go about success, self & relationships without love, & think they can be happy w/o it but their attempts usually fail lol

Love is powerful!

Money is the greatest Power in the world.

"Wether humanity will conciously follow the law of love. I do not know. But that need not disturb me. The law will work jus as the law of gravitation works whether we accep it or not" Mahatma Gandhi

The kind of love religions and greatest thinkers of the world talk about is not what we understand as love, they are not talking about romantic love or the love we feel for family and friends, they don't refer to love as a feeling but as the force that moves the world, as a positive force, love is the motor behind every creation in the world. Love is the cause of everything positive and good in this world.

Everyone wants to be LOVED.

who they want to be loved by, is kind of interesting.

I have always said money makes the world go roind. Money is only powerful because we allow it to be. We are told it is important and forced to use it. Money is just paper.

Now, since a lot of people have "for the love of the money" mentality, money is powerful. Just not as powerful as love.
