In the past I've tried to analyze "love" in general and I've realized that it's quite futile.
Different people describe so many different particular states of emotion as "love" that any generalization you try to make about it as if it were a singular phenomenon that could be evaluated in a vacuum is doomed to only pertain to some subset of those situations described with the term.
For a concept that is as important to most people as "love," the language to describe those feelings in specific terms is quite lacking. |
Haha at the risk of sounding gay I think that's actually quite romantic. |

If you want accurate results, you have to make such observations with an appropriate degree of sterility. Otherwise, you'll contaminate the sample. |
The strain is only as strong as its virulence. |

not really. love isn't real. its just a programmed emotion that rewards you for replicating, or at least heading in that direction.
no one is "perfect for you". "perfection" is imaginatory. a fat geek who's wee wee has never been unleashed would find "true love" in just about anything - the lone female chess club member, or maybe a tube sock. but, there are lots of other female chess club members and tube socks out there. he just convinces himself that this is "the one" for him.
relationships are what you make them. i think the actual partner is only the tip of the iceberg, the effort you put in is more important. |

| I totally agree, mostly because it would be REALLY hard to find someone who meets your exact specifications. |

perfection is subjective, not imaginary.
and love is real, for you to say that its a programmed emotion just means you havent experienced what love is..i don't blame you though..most people will never experience it..
most people who think they are in love are probably not.
a relationship will never work if there isnt real love involved..for me love is being able to compromise, make sacrifice and give unconditional support and care for someone simply because you know they are worth it. you know you love someone when that person always comes first in everything you do..above anything in anyone. |

I agree, it's love when the sacrifices and down moments are totally worth it. Sometimes that's tough to find, and there will always be doubts... but I just wait for that moment, where I know deep down that any imperfection, any down side, is completely and 100% ok. I'm not expressing myself well, so I'll let Robin Williams do the rest. |

Although not the best film ever imo, it's certainly very good.. One of the few films where I could stand watching Robin Williams. |

I think while it's useful to think about what you want and sort it out in your head, ultimately the decision is not an intellectual one. Love just happens it's something you feel, not like a decision you make based on some formula.
Although falling in love with someone doesn't mean ou're blind to their faults... You just don't really care about them because you're in love with the person. Sometimes the persons flaws are part of what makes them attractive. |
no, you are 100% wrong. love takes work. you have to actively make the decision to love someone...none of this "it just happens" bull. the biggest misconception about true love is that in the beginning phase of a relationship, when you're all smitten and acting like a retard and doing things you don't normally do, that you are "in love", but realistically, that is anything BUT love. that is just your body physically & uncontrollably reacting to hormones. it's when that honeymoon phase dies down, and you make the choice to continue to put forth the effort into loving that person, that it becomes true love. |
