The True Meaning of Love Everyone, at least once, experiences some type of love or friendship in their life time. It can be seen everywhere: in songs, plays, stories, movies and so on. Love can even make enemies into to friends and vice versa. This simple yet complex emotion can change anyone. The reason why someone mourns over a family member or friend is because they loved that person. Love is one of the greatest gifts someone can give or receive.

Loving an inanimate object shouldn’t be who people love one another. People can’t say, “I love pizza, and I love you too,” it just means that their love for that person is on the same level as food. Love shouldn’t be taken advantage of either. When someone continuously hurts another person, they should still choose to forgive them but not necessarily trust them completely.
