Businesslike:
ReplyDeleteFrom an objective standpoint, love is should be a choice. Statistics show that most humans experience love at some point in life. Given this hypothsis, most humans should be familiar with the many choices involved in such a state. First comes the choice to express or expose this love to the receiver. Then, the person involved must make a choice to integrate his or her life to the other's, which depends on several factors, including availability, stage of life, emotional status, and willingness to sacrifice freedom. In addition to these choices, the human must make a choice daily to place the needs of the loved above those of his or her own. Studies have show the difficulty in this, hence the abundance of divorces in this country. The deduction? Make your choices carefully!

ReplyDeleteLove is like some really powerful emotion or something. Sometimes people fall in love and sometimes they don't, and if they do not love each other then they shouldn't live together. It's pretty cool, I guess. Well, sometimes people chose to love someone and then they decide to stop, which is pretty stupid. Love is sometimes represented by Cupid, who shoots people with arrows and that makes them love each other. Um, I guess love involves caring about something a lot, too. Love can make people really dumb sometimes too. It makes them do stupid stuff, which can be O.K. sometimes. Alright, well thats about it.
Frustrated/Angry:
ReplyDeleteI just dont understand love at all. It's like people "fall in love" and then suddenly can say "oh, wait, nevermind." It's stupid. There's not point, I bet that 9 times out of 10 somebody gets hurt while "loving" somebody else. Young people just throw the word love around like its nothing. It's like its the new thing, to be in love. It's not a trend! Love is suppose to be serious, and the most amazing thing ever. If it's so great then why do people split up all the time. I dont understand how when you get married your so head over heels for that person and then 10 years later get a divorce. How were you ever in love with that person when you can so easily give up!?
Childish.
ReplyDeleteI love my mommy and daddy. And I love my doggy Chevy because he's adorable! And I love coloring and watching Disney movies! I love everything because it's so wonderful! I think everybody should love everybody else because the world be a much better place; there would be no fighting and nobody would get hurt.
Amused:
ReplyDeleteThe things people do when they are in love are so stupid that they are entertaining. They say embarrassing things and make fools out of themselves. If you want to be occupied for a good two or three hours, go listen to one of your friends talking on the phone to their boyfriend or girlfriend. I guarantee you will not be bored! The most ridiculous people to watch are couples that are still in the awkward stage; they are so clumsy and don't know how to act around each other yet. People in love always seem to be doing something crazy!

Love is not a maybe thing, you know if you love someone it's never unsure. True love cannot be destroyed or questioned, it's always there. You cannot force someone to love you, all you can do is be loved, the rest is up to them. Love should not get you to frustrated because i think God knows that loving someone may not always be simple nor easy.
Cynical:
ReplyDeleteLove is an emotion between people brought on by the changing of chemical patterns in ones brain either by a physical action, a certain scent (may it be pheromones or just some fancy cologne), or a mental reaction. This emotion can be a clever one, for it is easily confused with other feelings, such as lust. This emotion we know as "love" has evolved in animals as a form of survival technique. It's a way for the more "evolved" individuals to find and mate, and for the less "evolved" ones to die a horrid, lonely death. When they do produce, the newborn children actually send out pheromones to the adults that trigger the same sensation as love. This pheromone is what keeps the adults from killing their newborns, even though they're a burden on them.
Puzzled:
ReplyDeleteIf you look at two people that are in love, you will most likely see a lot of fights between them. People who are in love never know what they want from the experience. If they are in love, then they should be happy to be around one another. I understand that some people become annoyed with being with their significant other too much, but if they really love eachother, then the other person should understand that and give them some space.

ReplyDeleteLove is good-looking people's excuse for hooking up together and ditching the ugly people. It is something that ugly people want and envy, but will never have because the opposite sex would rather be alone than with that pig of man sitting across from them. This is why many people like myself have never had and will never a girlfriend. Because, frankly, were just not that good-looking

ReplyDeleteWhat is love? I never really understood it. Actually I've never really understood much. That's just the way I am. But nothing confuses me more than love, and why people want to be in love so badly. From what I've seen it seems like a lot of people just get hurt when they're supposedly in love. But then other people love the same person their whole life. It just doesn't make sense!
rational.
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear people talking about how somebody killed themselves over their "love". The reason behind this suicide was perhaps one being dumped right before prom. Or having somebody say that they love them, then really it's just a one night thing. I don't think people should take this so seriously. Love for me is trusting somebody. Once I loose that trust I'm sad because I'm disappointed. But its nothing to get all hot and hairy about. We should remember, if anything, the fun times. Though be sure not to forget the sticky ones. We should learn, and grow as a person. Especially learn not to be dependent on another person. I think we should have fun with each other. Not die over each other.

ReplyDeleteLove can be such an amazing thing when you get to experience it for the first time and for a while it can be great with all the cute things that couples do for each other it can be fun and cute...but only for awhile because eventually these fun and cute things just turn into being annoying and boring like when you sit there and talk on the phone for hours about nothing at first that was cute but now ur like wow is this really what were doing sitting here and talking about nothing? this is so boring and the biggest waste of my time I could be doing so many other things with my life right now...but I guess if you really love someone you dont ever hit that boring stage it also stays fun and entertaining but that person can be a hard one to find so when you do find that one who always keeps you fascinated make sure you hold on to them cause they are a one in a million!
Amused:
ReplyDeleteLove?! Ha! I scoff at such a preposterous notion as that. You can not see love, and love can disappear so quickly after one claims it so soon prior to its disappearance and I'm supposed to believe that this love you speak of is truth like some factual theorem when it clearly isn't. I can't help but laugh at the folly and ridiculous acts partaken in due to this fickle and improvable emotion. Yes, laugh I do.

ReplyDeleteTone: patient
Love is the greatest experience that can be felt by human kind. Whether it be from a parent or a mentor, by a friend or a sibling, love is an experience that everyone is striving for. But the examples I just mentioned, people don't really think about often. For many of us, it kind of goes without saying that our parents love us, or our siblings love us, or our friends love us. Today we are always pursuing the love and affection of someone of the opposite sex. Someone to date, to marry, to spend the rest of our lives with. Finding a "significant other" is of critical importance to society today. So much so that it leaves us so desperately seeking affection that we give in to our emotions and settle with someone who isn't our "one true love." Love is so much more than talking to each other on the phone, buying each other gifts, holding hands, or enjoying each other's company. Love in its purest form is sacrificing one's own desires and needs for another. Its about accepting someone into your life, for better or for worse, faults and all. It is so easy for me to fall into that thought pattern, mindlessly searching for someone to share my heart with, especially since everyone in my family has a "significant other." But in spite of the disappointment that follows being the only single person among thriving relationships, I have chosen to be content with the way my life is right now, to wait for love to find me, and I am satisfied with that decision.

cautious
ReplyDeletelove is a dangerous thing. you have to be aware at all times of what you say or do. any slip up in your words or actions can have serious consequences. you should be careful when falling in love so you dont have to face any of these consequences. you also want to take your time falling in love so you dont fall for the wrong person at the wrong time.

Questioning, Confused
ReplyDeleteIs love an emotion? Is love something that can be seen seen or smelt? How does a material possession represent love, like flowers or chocolates? Human represent love with physical acts that show how they feel but does everyone feel the same? What is love "supposed" to feel like? Is it even possible to feel complete love? Is there a difference between the love someone you have for one person compared to someone else but you say you love both of them? How can such a wide ranged emotion be represented by one word? It can't, it won't, it shouldn't, it doesn't. But it is and it does.

Angery ;
ReplyDeleteLove can make people very angery at times when things don't go the way that they want them to. I am not saying that love isn't a really good thing because when its good its good, but when its bad its normally really bad. When you are fighting or not agreeing on something to do or not having the same friends. So love can be reallly frustrating at times. but if you are really in love with the person than you can work it out and not be angery all the time!
