Love- what it means to you?

SarahSG88 December 29th, 2017

What does love mean to you? I do not necessarily mean romantic love only , anything under the sun. What it really means to you?

@SarahSG88 Love is a fantasy. It's an ideal people try to achieve because without it, life would be empty. It's sacrificing yourself for someone else's sake. It's compromising your own desires because your desire for someone else's happiness is greater. To be loved is validation of one's own worth. Love is given freely and taken for granted. And when you believe no one loves you, it's the only thing in the world that matters.

Love does not keep a record of wrongs.

@SarahSG88 I started thinking about very similar question a few months ago. And I realized that I don't quite know... How do I know that I'm in love in or love someone? How do I know if someone is in love with me? What's the difference between romantic love, parental love, friendship?

@ShadesBluer, you say that love is a fantasy. Do you mean it's not something real, something which cannot be felt or described?

@MapleTree79 Love, the way most people describe it, isn't real. It's too elegant, too euphoric, too holy. Real love is messy, painful, and more often than not, used as a justification for the choices people make. It's beautiful and terrifying at the same time. The fantasy is believing love is only ever wonderful.

@ShadesBluer in that sense Love sounds pretty much like religion to me. I'm not a religious persion myself - that may contribute something to my lack of understanding what love is. Yet, I know non-religious people claiming to be in love...

@ShadesBluer Hmm..yeah... I understand how you feel...I hope you will be happy to be proved wrong some day.

@MapleTree79 Basically, love is just love...but obviously it can have different dimensions. How do you know when you are in love ... you will know it :)

Love What does it mean to me, a special person, a love song come to life love is beautiful. It is hard to describe but you will know love when you feel it. We all should have love in our lives, to give it and to have it.

It feels like how the Moon and Earth are buddies.

Sacrifice and respect.

Respect is a bit obvious: respect the other person's boundaries, personality, everything about them really, even if you disagree with it doesn't mean you can't respect it

and sacrifice: when they're at their lowest you being there for them, you doing everything you can

That is unconditional love. You feel loved, cared for, important, wanted

You want the best for them and you respect their agency in figureing it out.

@SarahSG88

Love is where you sacrifice yourself for someone else, show them who you are, care for them, and always be there for them. That's what love is.

Love is what you make of it, the love you give is reflected back to you. For some, they don

Every people have own definition of love. For me love is to support each other, understand each other. But I don't know how to know - is it love or passion? I found this article - https://datingtalks.com/tips/7-signs-love/ and I hope that it is true )
