What is Love?
Love is the feeling you get towards someone or something that is almost unexplainable. It is not an obsession, but it is the constant reminder in the back of your mind that you have someone or something really special. It can hit you in various parts of your life but once it does, it leaves a long lasting impact.
Love is a crazy thing. It can be a feeling you get towards a person you truly care about, or it can also be the feeling you get from playing a sport or doing something you love. To me, love is unconditional no matter how you perceive it. For example, I love my family and I love my boyfriend. I love my family in a different sense than I love my boyfriend. My family has been there for me since day one and they are the most supportive, and important people in my life. On the other hand, my boyfriend makes me feel so special, and the happiest girl in the world, a feeling that no one else has given me.
Loving people is different than loving a sport. I run cross-country and track, and I absolutely love these sports. It is the feeling I get while doing it or after having a great race that reminds me why I love it so much. It is the adrenalin rush I get and the feeling after a hard workout that makes me know I have a passion for it. When I get injured, it puts me in a slump and all I want to do is get back out on the track. It is almost like I need it in my life and without it, my days just would not be the same.
I feel that love is forever, and that you never truly lose feelings for your first love. It forces you to not be selfish, and to genuinely care for another person, so much that you are willing to make sacrifices to be with them and make them happy. I think a main component of love is pure happiness, and just a desire to always be with the people who make you feel on top of the world. Essentially, when you are in love, around people you love, or doing something you love, nothing else matters.
You give your attention to the things you love. When you love someone, you make time to be with them, or do the little things that remind that person that they are on your mind. Little things could be roses at your doorstep or something as simple as a text saying, “goodnight, I love you”. It is these little things in life that can show someone how much you really care. I make time to run, and be on a sports team because it is something I am passionate about. All in all, there are no excuses, and you make the people and activities you love number one on your priority list.
There are many words with a similar meaning to what I define love as. One word would be passion. Passion and love go hand-in-hand: you love what you are passionate about and you are passionate about what you love. Likewise, devotion is also a word that ties into love. Being devoted towards someone or something shows loyalty and the desire to always make time for that person or time to do what you love. Obsession, which can have a negative connotation, would be an unhealthy word that can be associated with love. Obsession and love can easily be mistaken as the same thing when in actuality being obsessed with someone or something does not necessarily mean you are in love, it could mean the exact opposite. Love is almost like a two-way worship; both people should have roughly the same feelings as the other and one’s
Love. What is love? Love is a very special and meaningful word to each human being. Love is built on a foundation of trust, a thin barrier between formality and chaos. As we grow older we learn to start to build friendship with the people we have things most in common with, along with the people who accept and understand us the best. Love can also be contemplated as a dangerous component of life that works to deceive and manipulate other people’s trust. Many people will argue that love is contaminated…
Michelle Lewis Professor Pyatt ENG 002 16 September 2012 A pre-marital surprise During my reading in the book “Listening is an act of love”, I stumbled on a story between a man and a woman where surely love does conquer anything and gives the ability to give options. The story that I chose to write about is from an interview between Seth Fleischauer, who interviewed his grandfather William Jacobs. Here in this interview William recalls the visit from his mother-in-law while in the hospital…
What Is True Love? If love is to be true love and true connection to a partner does exist, it must comply with several “guidelines”. True love isn’t necessarily difficult to find and have, but if someone repeatedly attempts at true love, they will observe that it will never find them. The same goes for someone who has obtained true love but abuses it to his or her own independent gains and ignores the meaning of an everlasting and loyal bond to another. Some say that true love can literally…
The topic of love or communication through love has been a very interesting subject for me since I matured and became the person I am today. There are certainly many different types of love and thousands of its expressions, which are generalized into just one word love. For me, love is associated with the Universe. I strongly believe that love isnt only a part of human existence, but equally the part of the Universe. When I look at life, I see the balance in the Universe. Every day there…
Love and Marriage When two people find true love, marriage is the one thing that can exceed their passion or desire to stay committed. However, if these individuals are of the same biological sex or gender identity, most people tend to oppose such recognition. Since 2001, more than ten countries have embraced the concept of same-sex couples marrying nationwide, even more, in 2012, there are proposals that exist to introduce same-sex marriages in an additional ten countries. Although it is a freedom…
Question: All is fair in love and war- do you agree or disagree and explain why? Answer: Love and war are two contrasting forces; the former involves care and personal attachment while the latter involves brute force and destruction. They are also very similar in the sense that success in love and war can lead to the creation of happiness, relationship, devotion, liberty and freedom etc. all of which can shape a persons or societies lifestyle. However, because of such tempting and important…
Mr. Davis stands up from his desk with a solo cup and walks around the room passing every students desk as he holds out the cup. Every student drops a folded piece of paper with his or her first and last name on it into the cup. The man doesn’t care too much for his underpaid job and expresses it very clearly. Yet, no one really knows how much he gets paid. But, he wears the same outfit every day. Black dress pants, a white long sleeve sateen dress shirt, and a sateen tie. We assume he has a low…

working on the paper about love and relationship it made me reflect on my feelings on love and the relationship I have with people. In my day to day life I start to take people for granted and sometimes I need a wakeup call or a refresher on the true meaning of something. When I was studying and praying about love and relationship I had to reevaluate some of the people whom I say I have a relationship with and who I say I love. I also gather that God gives me limitations on how love is to be expressed;…
