True love, or obsession.

Can some one explain the fine line between the both?


I love to hear other's thoughts on this.

 

I think, physiologically, they are the EXACT same thing.

 

Hmm, I feel differently.

But we are two different people that is.

 

One is an emotion the other is a crappy yuppie cologne.

 

You people are horrible!
hahahahaha
Just kidding.

 

You ought to hash out a few thoughts before I give you mine.

I'm likely to miss the mark.

 

You can't have love without obsession, but you can have obsession without love.

 

So true.

 

An obsession is where it becomes detrimental to properly functioning and considered to be more an exaggeration. Well, love, that's probably the same thing, but I guess you can't tell one way or the other and no one can convince you otherwise if it happens to be now your guilty pleasure.

 

I think many don't know the difference, but that does not mean there is not one
and I really think the difference is quite large and not fine at all

they do have many similarities which confuses the issue (such as idolizing the one you love/obsess over)
but I find that when you obsess you feel you need the person - and though it often has it - love does not require that addictive property
I also think obsession is more selfish than love and is based on possession of the person
where as pure love values the admired and it's will
in obsession the admired becomes an object or a pet - in pure love the admired stays a public beauty

I say pure love, of course, cause one can be in love and obsessed at the same time
and often people are
