hahaha ok. well for me, the meaning of life and love are both pretty much the same thing. everyone has their own opinions on life, what it is and what its not... what love is, and what its not.... since i dont think there is a meaning of life, rather many meanings, or none at all, love must be extreemly complicated and it does things to people in very spontaneous and mysterious ways. love is very common, there are different kinds of love, love is precious and can be snatched from your hand at any moment, love is dangerous, love is the bomb , love is music, i can go on forever... love cannot be described. in order to respect a peaceful nature, this is how i think. everyone has their own definition of love. everyone has their own meaning of life. respect their opinions, and stand up for yours, open your mind, expand your thoughts, after all that is why we are all here. people ask how we can have peace on earth.. ? the answer is simple. respect everything, respect your thoughts, and everyone elses. that is truely the start of peace. when people can live in harmony despite what they think is bad or because they are accustomed to getting their way, or the things they want. PUT THAT ASIDE. and stop to figure out what is really important in life. peace and love, lisa.
Love is joy, love is pain, love is selfless and selfish, love is easy to fall into and hard to get out of. To surrender to love shows bravery and weakness. The paradox? Hate is pain,selfish,easy and weak. Peace, Love, Run Naked.
Love is not selfish my friend, that is love of the self. Real love does not ask for anything in return. Real love does not judge and dividie and discriminate. Real love is based out of the happiness that we feel when we are not seeking it. Like how time flies by when we are having fun and are happy, the moment we stop and realize that time flew by and we are feeling happy, that happiness ceases to be. Real happiness and love are there when we arent noticing it, when we are not looking to do things in order to further advance our position in respect. When we have love but get annoyed with one we love, or upset, or angry, we are not really loving that person, we are depending on that person to make us happy. That is not true love, that is self decpetion of gratifying the false ego. To love all unconditionally and expect nothing in return is the True Love we all wish we had. Like writing a poem for the love of it, or writing a poem to share with others and receive praise because it makes us feel good. We should learn to do things and to love anonymously. Like picking up a bunch of glass on the sidewalk to prevent someone from hurting their feet in the future. You may never meet or know this person, but the love is there and that is all that matters. We can love ourselves, this is true, but not in the physical false ego, sense gratifying way. We need to love ourselves as children of the same earth along with everyone equally
Thank you Lisa Some people may not agree with me, but I believe that it is at least part of the truth Any other love that requires something in return will only end sooner than later and bring us misery and pain
Love is always returned. Ten folded even. Real true love is all embracing and accepting, so why shouldnt it be returned? it is a circle not a line. I do pick up glasses for others not to get hurt and bikes that have fall off, and i do write poetry that nobody will ever read, and I help others that i will never meet again, and love come from that little child inside you, and that child needs love from you and also from the others, to be acknowledged and to feel it is accepted by th others and part of the whole with the others. Of course being in love can make oyu feel very happy, but isnt happyness even greater when you know that love is returned? and generating even more love? Yes it does. Why think of love as a marthyr think of death? Love is ment to be given and rreturned and shared and enjoy, not to be given by one who will stay alone with nothing ever. Love is a sharing, a sharing has both ways. The giving and the taking, the taking and the giving. When both are in harmony, there is only one thing: being in love and feeling it all the time. To expect return of love is not wrong, it is being a child waiting for mum and dad to come back home at night. What can be wrong with that? All deserve love to be loved, even you. Even me. That love shall not be returned is a lie. Love is always returned and should always be. It is good when love is returned, it is best. It feels best, and you know it, so why pretend it isnt so? It isnt being egoistical, it is being happy feeling much more happy, smiling and laughing, being releived, and so glad to be alive.
Love is the most beautiful, most sweet thing that is and will be, but also the thing that hurts most. Love is the thing that brings tears into ones eyes of happiness.
I Believe In Tree Hugging, Literally, Just Do It! It Makes You Feel at one With Nature, Go To Your Nearest Forest And Have A Go! Peace Out--x
But love is selfish, if we do anything just for the joy of it, part of what we do is for our self. Not saying it is bad. Just that love is a complex mixture that can bring both joy and pain. Love is hard. Hate is easy. Love is worth everything we put into it!!
Sorry to inject a note of cynicism into this love-fest (no pun intended) but nowadays the vast majority of the population experience a faint shadow of what love truly is. Love has been bought out, cheapened, and sold off at a grossly inflated price by De Beers and Hallmark. Disney got in on the action too. Defining love is incredibly difficult - unless you're in love; then your definition is "love is [insert significant other(s) here]". Easier by far to define what is isn't: love is not gifts, diamonds are NOT a girl's best friend (that should be your boyfriend/girlfriend, you shallow bitch), and love is most definitely not marriage. Sorry to be cynical, but I just got dumped
love is not a feeling. Love isn't an emotion. Love is doing what's best for the other person no matter what it costs you, or how it could effect you in the long run.
And Mr. Quoth, that is precisely the reason we choose to commune and further discuss the topic... TO KEEP LOVE ALIVE! See how that works...
I tend to hold the view akin to what I previously stated, then it became posted here... Like eggs, from which we all hatch, internal or external, love is the thing we all keep preserving and upgrading in our own little personal spheres of aura and being. We mix and mingle to get to understand the vast contrasts of life. Very neat and responsible individuals, and "future-Tense" thinkers will also increase their divisibility conceptual dimensions of comprehension and response to also apprpriately take on the nasties and negatives as well. After all when ya get down to the geo-chemistry of it all, the world is inherently negative. lol But that is a very simple bond reference, we are bonds of billions of positive and negative charges, to transfer, in context accordingly to what causes us to flourish and succeed with flying colors, by us, for us, and of us... Wait... am I talking about love again? From below poster... .... I'm sorry but I must disagree here, if this were true, then like the cosmos pondering frame of mind... Where did love come from?
Love is a stage everyone has...a very long stage. it builds up with acceptance, wise, happiness, caring and etc... youre loving because someone taught you how to love, it weakens when those who are cruel to you, then you dont care, or you dont accept...but if you're around loving people, you continue to build and create Love is an generation inspiration to inspire to more people.
Well, you have spoken your words, and I have heard them, I can definately understand the few strands you covered, and respect your post, it was a good one. Though in addition, I would say my perspective moves to modify, that I almost always notice when I'm happy.....It's obvious, and another administrative facet when living life and doing things in a responsible manner.... This also extends to when I realize that I'm made....even hateful, of mundain things, mainly failings of a progression in....progress. Ever since I realized how to glance over at love around me, and not scare it off, rather amplify it, I germanated it into a stride which is the bearing of my words when I am cleasned and may produce my works. In it's most effective moments, extending into hate, Loves' adverse counterpart, is nothing more then shinning in the light, and ideally, the darkness scatters away in noticeable portions. It returns latter, yet weakened, and that is precisely my aim, and the pinnicle reason for how I concieved such words in one strand of continuous time in the first place. Peace and Love. PS: One more note, the most difficult first step in decisivley cracking down and annalizing emotion comes at the forefront of understanding that: criticism and annalisis occupy one side of the brain(left side), whereas emotion and philosphy occupy the other side(right). I learned this in jail from a very enticing book entitled: Drawing on the right side of the brain. At last, I book I've been looking for, for some time. Peace and Love.
To me love is everything. Everything but negativity. Lol all those long replies. i thought, let me put it in one or two sentences. Although love is more than that.
love to me is music. i know how cliche that sounds-but being a prospective classical musician there is nothing more powerful in the world than music. there are some pieces that make me cry everytime i listen to them or shake me or throw me into some unfathomable world. also people are lovely. every single person. i can sit for hours watching people walk and imaging their lives and how they are connected to me for that passing second. and how every single person has such a unique life from another no matter if they work in an office, construction, or music. these thoughts fill me with what seems to be love for beauty. then love for a person. that's a whole other story that i unfortunately dont have time to type.
