Debate: Do You Think ''romantic" Love Is Overrated? by lapazi(m): 12:40am On Oct 09, 2015 |
hello guys, A friend of mine just went through a tough and nasty breakup, in my bid to comfort him, we started this heated argument about love. These were some of the points i provided on why i think love is overrated: 'Love' is Just mother nature's cruelest trick to get us to reproduce. Nothing more. It is overrated, I'd agree with it being just a fantasy and that for many people just isn't achievable. It's different with everybody so is it right to just generalise like that? I think not. It sets unrealistic expectations in people that just leads to disappointment, because it's portrayed as "perfect", "never ending", which is incorrect because love is not perfect at all, and it ends all the time. while he tries to defend his emotions by saying: No, love is not overrated. Lust is. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. To me all that is load of bull-crappp and i finally reponded by saying thats why u got your heart broken in the first place! Over to you my fellow romance-landers, do you think love is over rated? if no, pls state you reasons. And if yes i'm with you jorr! #whatyasay cc: lalasticlala, ishilove 1 Like

romantic love is overrated and obsessive...those kind love u will be feeling butterflies n shiit.think about d person all day.get jealous.n a slight provocation will make u cry all night.those crazy feelings...but there is another kind of love...the stable love...u just feel happy n content to be with d person.u feel a sense of calm n deep down joy.i believe this is d kind of love the bible describes.the gentle kind n not jealous one.its d kind we long for as we grow older.cos its very stable...not the teenage rollercosta of romantic love.its actually "sweet" wen mutual but tooo emotional obsessive,crazy n scary.u cant even control ur emotions.its overrated.we dont need things that throw us too much off balance like that 1 Like 1 Share |

Before leaving for work, it's important to tell you how foolish and insipid love is. |

loves becomes overrated wen d partners feelings and emotions are mismatched.. He loves her but she loves him less..He expects her to return d love to him in a right proportion but its not just happening..That's y d conclusion of love bn overrated is always singular My take is; Love isn't overrated if the partners equally loves each other! |

Yes it is overrated. Romantic love while it is necessary to begin and nurture a relationship, romantic love alone is not sustainable for a relationship. To sustain a relationship, you need concoction of romantic love, friendship/brotherly like/love, and unconditional love. Love is a choice, it's a decision and it is a commitment especially during hard times. Period. |
