.......is a powerful thing. People will commit murder for love and if you dont believe me.......try to hurt one of my kids. The love of an adult for another adult is a different thing than loving your child though. It is an emotion but so much more than that. It can consume you but true love will not take over your life like lust can and does. It just makes your life so much more full and complete. It has always been said that love is blind and I disagree with this. You can see all the faults of your loved one and accept them for themselves ...who and what they are....inspite of thier faults. Love means that your happiness is dependent on the happiness of another for if the one you love is sad, you are sad, if they are happy, you are happy. It is a co-dependancy of life but not symbiotic as life can and does go on when the one you love does not return the love or has moved on or died. This does not mean that the love dissappears as it can not be turned on and off so easily. Love endures...time, space, distance and others. Lust...the all consuming type, can be symbiotic. Love allows for individuality and time alone. It allows for change and growth of an individual or a couple together. It is comfortable like a favourite pair of softly worn denim jeans, it is new and wonderous like a new born baby, it is powerful and weak at the same time and it does not alter if it finds an alteration, it accepts.

"Dear editor: Some of my little friends say there is no such thing as love. They say 'If you see it in The Sun it's so. Please tell me the truth; is there such a thing as love?|Your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.|Yes, there is a such a thing as love. It exists as certainly as human emotion, generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary would be the world if there were no such thing as love? It would be as dreary as if there were no you. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.|Not believe in love? Nobody sees love, but that is no sign that there is no love. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.|You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it real? In all this world there is nothing else as real and abiding. |No love? I am glad that it lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, it will continue to make glad the heart of childhood."||Eight-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of New York's Sun, and the quick response was printed as an unsigned editorial Sept. 21, 1897. The work of veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church has since become history's most reprinted newspaper editorial, appearing in part or whole in dozens of languages in books, movies, and other editorials, and on posters and stamps. |Some of you might recognize it...and I only had to change a few words. It seems to work just fine for me...and thanks, Virginia, for you letter.

Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love’s tragedies.Life is one fool thing after another where as love are two fool things after each other.HugsStalky

You love someone, not in spite of their differences, but because of them. True love is when the lust never fades.Love is unconditional.

One of my favorite descriptions of love is from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin: " When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No... don't blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away... (Iannis to Pelagia)" . I like this defination,

WowwwwwwwThis word brings real emotions in people :-)I believe in love of parents, especially a mother's love which is unconditional, but honestly and truly believe that love of a male and female is nothing short of a selfishness of our own nature to feel happy.I do agree when you love somebody, you do tend to feel what they feel, such as if they are sad, you will feel the same, but my perspective of love in our society has changed compare to what love used to mean between partners, as we go back decade by decade and century after century. Love is now corrupted, that is why most relationships do not last as they used to.I thank you all who have joined this convo about love, as well as those who join later. It is quite interesting to know how one feels and to what degree. This is the beauty of life:-)

Quoting 'tiger777ab'Love is now corrupted, that is why most relationships do not last as they used to. This is because we now have choices. Back in the good old days, there was no option. You got married, you stayed married. End of story. Nowadays, we have a little thing called divorce. We have options and we no longer have the stigma of divorce or being a single parent to deal with. I have often been accused of being too sarcastic, a man hater. bitter and twisted and other such things by forum members. Even I believe in love between a man and woman. Further more I do believe that it can and does last beyond the death of a partner and I have first hand experience of this. There are still plenty of people who get married and stay married. After all, only roughly 50% of marriages end in divorce. So...what happens to the other 50%? Are they all living a lie? Fooling themselves into a state of something that does not exist? I do not belive in the institute of marriage as this is man (rather church) made to suit an old fashioned purpose that no longer exists.I do however firmly believe in the love between two consenting adults. Yes it does mean that our happiness is inter-twined with anothers. If that person then dies...we can still be happy. We can go on and love another, it is the same type of love but not the same at all. There is always the feeling that part of you is missing. Part of you is not quite whole. Nothing and nobody will ever stop this as the ability to love another does not detract from the love for the one who is lost. The human emotions are a funny thing. When it comes to love, there is no limit on how many we can love even at the same time and equally. I, personally would lay my life on the line for my children. This is nothing new as the love for a child will make a parent kill or be killed to save thier babies. But the question remains...would I do this for an adult that I love? Unequivicably....YES! If I would pay the ultimate sacrifice for the one I love how then can love be considered selfish? l Bye the way...not ALL parental love comes unconditional. Many parents cannot, do not love thier kids and place many conditions upon them.

Quoting 'Nick_Wilde' a) never having to say you're sorry b) never having to change for someone else c) a business transaction d) a marketing gimmick but most importantly, its a crock of shit that from what I have observed, ends in divorce and usually alimoney. So very cynical for one so very young Sweetie. To the best of my knowledge, we dont have alimony in Australia...only child support.

Love is when you would go to Hell forever for someone in order to please them. It's also when your desire to enjoy with them (lust) is originally motivated by a desire that they enjoy your so-called lustiness towards them. Love is when you want your beloved to enjoy their senses , lust is when you want to enjoy your senses. Loz

Quoting 'Nick_Wilde'I believe in child support, as long as there's DNA evidence. Hows that for cynical? lol... and then there's the factor of half the marital assets... aka everything you own. And half of what SHE owns. These days it is only what the parties have acquired during the relationship though.....not what they brought into it.
