Love is not what makes you sleep with someone. Lust is. Love is what makes you think of someone else before yourself, not what makes you sleep with them.

 

 

 

I'd have to say I pretty much agree with that. I've got some stuff to think about... Yeah, topics like this make me think... alot... :-k :-k :-k

"What is love?"

 

 

 

Are your palms sweaty, your heart racing and voice caught within your chest?

 

-It isn't Love, it's Like.

 

 

 

You can't keep your eyes or hands off of them.

 

-It isn't Love, it's Lust.

 

 

 

Are you proud, and eager to show them off?

 

-It isn't Love, it's Luck.

 

 

 

Do you want them because you know they're there?

 

-It isn't Love, it's Loneliness.

 

 

 

Are you there because it's what everyone wants?

 

-It isn't Love, it's Loyalty.

 

 

 

Do you stay for their confessions of love because you don't want to hurt them?

 

-It isn't Love, it's Pity.

 

 

 

Are you there because they kissed you or held your hand?

 

-It isn't Love, it's being Unconfident.

 

 

 

Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat?

 

-It isn't Love, it's Infatuation.

 

 

 

Do you pardon their faults because you care about them?

 

-It isn't Love, it's Friendship.

 

 

 

Do you tell them every day they are the only one you think of?

 

-It isn't Love, it's a Lie.

 

 

 

Are you willing to give up everything for their sake?

 

-It isn't Love, it's Charity.

 

 

 

Does your heart ache and break when they're sad?

 

-Then it's Love.

 

 

 

Are you attracted to others, but stay with them faithfully without regret?

 

-Then it's Love.

 

 

 

Do you accept their faults because they're a part of who they are?

 

-Then it's Love.

 

 

 

Do you cry for their pain, even when they're strong?

 

-Then it's Love.

 

 

 

Do their eyes see your true heart and touch your soul so deeply it hurts?

 

-Then it's Love.

 

 

 

Do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible mix of pain and elation pulls you close and holds you?

 

-Then it's Love.

 

 

 

Would you give them your heart, your soul, your life?

 

-Then it's Love.

 

 

 

Now, if love is painful and tortures us so, why do we love?

 

Why is it all we search for in life?

 

Why is it all we long for?

 

This torture, this powerful death of self?

 

Why? Because... it's Love.

to quote the bible (1 Corinthians 13:4-8):

 

 

 

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

 

Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.

I did believe in love, but I had a very very hard breakup so I've finally reolized that it doesn't exist. Its just reproduction but I can live with that

 

 

 

:wink: :3> :wink:

 

 

 

to make a second point (which will be added to my first post), what is the reason for same-gender relationships? I'm not saying anything negative towards such a relationship, but what purpose is there for such a relationship? is it nature gone wrong or proof that 'love' is exempt from nature's laws?

 

 

 

Same-gender realtionships have nothing to do with love. Love is not what makes you sleep with someone. Lust is. Love is what makes you think of someone else before yourself, not what makes you sleep with them.

Whats this suppose to mean? What I'm getting from it is that your going with the stereotype that just because someone homosexual they just want to sleep with someone. Homosexuals arent looking necessaryily for lust, they want to be in a relationship the same way as a man and a women would its just that they prefer someone of the same gender. They still date, live together, do all the normal things. I think you should think about that a bit.

Aww man, dont think of it that way, trust me, i thougth that too for awhile, but its not true. But dont think there is jut one person for you. Love can work with anyone, just have to be ummm "compatible" i guess.

most poeple mistake lust for love

 

 

 

Like those girls that sleep with guys like bill gates or other mingers that are rich

 

 

 

 

 

 

now does this show that lust is very effective, or that their chemical makeup 'clicks' and the rest of the world thinks that it is a scam?

Back by popular demand!

And I guess I just wanted to tell you, as the light starts to fade, that you aree the reason, that I am not afraid, and I guess I just wanted to mention, as the heavens will fall, that we will be together soon if we will be anything at all.

first off-topic thread, so be nice :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

Do you think that there is more to it than reproduction? And why does love even happen, as it is a major biological fault, as if you only spread your genes through one line, you will limit your beneficial mutations

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interesting question...

 

Love has no real purpose, except to encourage the human race and other species to reproduce.I mean... who wants to do it with someone un-special? This keeps humans existing- keeps humans being at the end of the food chain. This is originated from the time when we were primitive animals, fighting for survival. A natural competitiveness is immediately produced.

 

This phenayline or whatever only exists to activate reproduction of the human race.

 

 

 

But there's anopther side to love, the more mental side, and it means alot moe than this boring old phenlayinewhatever.

Besides "reproduction"...

 

 

 

Love is like a sacrifice. Something that makes you wanna throw your body between them and danger. To protect and forever hold dear.

 

 

 

With your dying breathe and last ounce of energy...you whisper "I love you". :3> (This send shivers down my spine XD)

well.....it keeps infants alive.

 

 

 

While you want to throw someone's kids at the garbage can, their parents probably think it is cute or putting up with it.

there's no real deep meaning to it other then making sure we have offspring (man kind).

 

 

 

That's not love. That's sexual desire, need to reproduce to keep the species. That's like saying spiders love each other until the point where the female eats the male.

love is when your heart falls into your stomach and begins to be digested, then your brain begins to melt and you become stupid...

First of all I just wanted to say I hate it so much when there is a thread that I want to post on, and it has 3+ pages. I don't have the time to read through every single post, and I want to add my opinion, but if I don't read through everything, I could repeat what someone else says. :?

 

 

 

In my Opinion, love is simply the release of phenylethylamine into your bloodstream.

 

If that was the case, then love would just be a temporary emotion. What I mean is, say you are fighting with your wife. While you are fighting with her, I don't think these phenylethylamines are being released into your blood stream. Deep down you still love her, but at the moment all you are feeling is anger towards her. I don't know if that made sense =s.

 

 

 

Love is lust. Think how many marriages end in divorce :roll:

 

If that was the case, I don't think it's truly love. It's lust, not love.

 

 

 

True love (between a man and a woman, not the brotherly/love you feel for your family members) lasts forever. You would do anything for the person you love. I think that if you truly love a person they will help you grow as a person.

 

 

 

Sorry if my post didn't really make sense. It's a confusing thing to talk about, plus I can't say I've experience love for myself. Also, I'm sorry if I repeated what someone else said.
