Posted: 11/6/2006 8:05:06 AM | The best description of what love is, is one I have found in the writings of Kahil Gibran to Mary Haskell.
This is not a direct quote, but what he said was;
Trust and Respect equals Freedom
The more trust we recieve, the more respect we earn, this gives us the freedom to be ourselves.
And in return the more freedom we have to be ourselves, the more we are able to give trust and the more respect we are able to bestow on the other.
This is a perpetual action that can be applied to any and all relationships and friendships we encounter in our lives. | |

Posted: 11/6/2006 8:15:22 AM | | What's love got to do with it. It comes and goes. After several LTR where I gave 100% love only to have it thrown back in my face. I don't think I can ever love again, or want to. | |

Love is never having to say I am sorry. | |

Posted: 11/6/2006 3:39:23 PM | Love is a feeling not a meaning... different people probably feel it different ways.
When I feel it... its like a connection to another that makes everything in my life a little better... I love to be in love, sharing my life with someone that just rocks my world. | |

Posted: 11/6/2006 5:36:37 PM | Hmm Love?
I had that once. And I'm not talking about just your everyday love, I'm talking true, where she is the one and only thing in your mind. Where she is the first though you have in the morning and the last thought you have when you fall asleep. I once loved a woman so much that when I took my friend to a dancer bar for his birthday the dancer asked me if I was in love because it showed so much.
I had a love that filled me with such joy that the world looked like it was perfect, like nothing could go wrong. And if something did it was nothing but a speed bump.
Love is so strong that you realize that we have only half a soul and the woman whom you love is the other half. When you feal whole it's the most incredible thing that you could possibly experience. Love is being complete and not wanting anything else even if you have nothing. Love is wanting to better yourself, not for you but for her. Love is when you first see that person your heart just stops, skips a beat, and then beats so fast you feel like your going to pass out.
Love is so strong that not even time can diminish it. When even after 10 years you still feel like the relationship is brand new.
Love is dangerous. It can be the best and the worst thing ever to happen to you. For when that love goes away it leaves you empty and hollow. But love is also being friends with her even after all the sh*t hit the fan, and the peices are so small you don't know where to start, you can still talk, and pray, and still never give up.
There sometimes though comes a time when you have to give that love up. If you can still be friends that's great but its a double edged sword. | |

Real love never ends. Even if it isn't returned to you, if it is real, there is nothing you can do to make it end, if it is true. | |

Posted: 11/11/2006 8:01:15 AM | | Love, romantic; a temporary hormonally induced state which lasts approximately eighteen to thirty months, where one considers another as perfect, able to completely ignore faults, and wants to spend every moment of every day with that person, preferably engaging in some type of sexual activity. This allows time for the female to get pregnant, have the baby, and get the baby up, walking, and able to eat solid foods. Then the parents of said child begin to see and become irritated by the other's habits, and start to desire other potential partners, to the delight of mother nature, who wants to see the most different dna combinations possible. Then the cycle repeats. This went on for >99% of our history, until 'civilized' man came along and screwed it up, and suggested life long partnership when the average life expectancy was oh, maybe 27. Now we've tripled that and wonder why couples can't stand each other's annoying habits after only a few decades greater than mother nature's plan. What a surprise. | |

Posted: 11/11/2006 8:18:07 AM | | I think the word LOVE has lots its meaning because there's too many definitions for the word LOVE.I prefer the word "CARE".IT seems to have alot more meaning to say,"I care about you"........ | |

Posted: 11/11/2006 8:21:56 AM | Love means that two people click so well on a good day they can get through all the bad ones.
I think there are hundreds of people with whom we could spend our lives with in a perfect world but this world isn't perfect and taking the good means taking the bad. You only really love someone if you can stand and that means understand their "bad" side. | |

Posted: 11/11/2006 9:27:31 AM | Said it before, and here it is again - quoted from Spider Robinson:
Love: the condition in which the happiness of another becomes essential to your own.
Still the best definition I ever heard. | |

Posted: 11/11/2006 3:51:35 PM | Want to share this with you: how Katharine Hepburn declared her love to Spence Tracy in her book “ME”
· There is an enormous difference between love and like. Usually we use the word “love’ when we really mean like. I think that very few people ever mean love. I think that like is much easier relationship. It is based on sense. A blind spot – love.
· It seems to me I discovered what “I love you” really means. It means I put you and your interest and your comfort ahead of my own interests and my own comfort because I love you.
· LOVE has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get – only with what you are expecting to give – which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and you cannot help giving. If you are very lucky, you may be loved back. That is delicious but it does not necessary happen. It really implies total devotion. And, total is all – encompassing – the good of you, the bad of you. I am aware that I must include the bad.
· I love Spence Tracy. He and his interests and his demands came first. That was not easy for me because I was definitely a me me me person. He didn't like this or that. I changed this and that. They might be qualities which I personally valued. It did not matter. I changed them.
· I have no idea how Spence felt about me. I can only say I think that if he hadn’t liked me he wouldn’t have hung around. As simple as that. He wouldn’t talk about it and I didn’t talk about it. We just passed twenty-seven years together in what was to me absolute bliss. It is called LOVE.
I don't think I can give this kind of LOVE for I won't love anyone more than I myself. If I have to humble myself this much to get my love, I can live without it and it is Period. | |

to share the cares and grow within together
To truly love another is to love yourself while in the company of the other | |

Love is never having to say I am sorry.
BS, every couple I have ever seen has said "sorry" a helluva lot.
Being rich is never having to say I am sorry. | |
