True love might exist, but we have to define what it is before we can know whether it does.

What is "love?"

True love?, may be in the movie/tv soap opera or some kindda fantasy world out there. Perhaps you should be asking about companionship and fear of being alone or someone to share bills and life expenses with. The only world where true love lived was in the secondary school. Think about it, you had nothing to give to each other but you would sneak out to see each other wrote each other shared your food/provisions with each other. Among adults?, you better have some cash or some high paying job somewhere.

Re: Does True Love Really Exist Now Adays. by dremoney(m): 4:23pm On May 10, 2007

This verse describes the characteristics of true love. These qualities can certainly be found in the person of Jesus Christ, and they can be found in all truly loving relationships. The problem with trying to "find" love in our dating lives, is that too often we don't look for these characteristics. Rather we look at physical appearance, popularity, or wealth. These are not the qualities that God looks at and neither should we.


"But the LORD said to Samuel, ', The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.'"
I Samuel 16:7b (NIV)

Well this my understand of the definition of LOVE:
1 Corithians
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things; believes all things; hopes all things; endures all things.

That in itself is scarce in this day n age - so wutz yo understanding of TRUE love?
Re: Does True Love Really Exist Now Adays. by iice(f): 3:57pm On May 11, 2007
Very rare, but i have seen it though
Re: Does True Love Really Exist Now Adays. by drrionelli(m): 5:21pm On May 11, 2007
With all due respect, IBDat (and all others of Christian sensibility) the verse you quote really doesn't DEFINE love.  The only words on the other side of the verb "is" in the first sentence are adjectives, not nouns.  Thus, they only describe and not define love.  The remainder of the verse says what love is NOT and what love does.  There is really no definition of what love IS to be found in the verse.

Now, please be aware that I'm not baiting or flaming, here.  Far from it.  I, too, have for the better number of my years sought the answer as to what love IS.  Surely, if there is a word for something, that word must have a meaning. 

So what is the meaning of love?  Or, as the posters in the jazz thread might ask, what is this thing called love?
Re: Does True Love Really Exist Now Adays. by nosilla(f): 11:22pm On May 11, 2007
Love has never been defined since man began, so we have to use our own hearts and minds to decide.

Love isn't all about looking at a good looking woman/man and hearing fireworks go off all the time. That's usually physical attraction, but it's normal at the beginning of our relationship.

Love is respect, wanting to help that person in any aspect of their lives; protect them from harm's way; knowing that each other will be there 100%; feeling safe with that person; proud of being with them; sharing your hopes and dreams together;

and my favorite , feeling like you can conquer the world together!

Knowing you will be together no matter what and continue on until the day you pass away.

Now that's love to me!

Definition of love can be found in the bible like the earlier posts have indicated,
However, my viewpoint is that love is simply placing the other person before yourself, now tell me , in Naija , who wants to do that?

@ N'landers,

Secondly, i don't think i am capable of the "love thing", (u know,can't sleep, can't think, nah! it aint just my style) undecided
Is there something wrong with me?
Re: Does True Love Really Exist Now Adays. by BBoy3(m): 1:36am On May 12, 2007
True Love - No such thing, love in itself is rare nowadayz.
People just get comfortable with eachother and learn to trust, accomodate and appreciate eachother - As for being selfless (not alwayz)!
So what is True Love?
Re: Does True Love Really Exist Now Adays. by vronnie(f): 4:24am On May 13, 2007
True love is alive and well it's just that people are not willing to work at there relationship.
Re: Does True Love Really Exist Now Adays. by BIKINI(f): 2:07pm On May 13, 2007
YES
Re: Does True Love Really Exist Now Adays. by Aniomaman(m): 2:43pm On May 13, 2007
It does exist but like a previous poster rightly said, people are not just willing to work towards it.
Re: Does True Love Really Exist Now Adays. by osegwu(m): 3:14pm On May 13, 2007
It does exist but we are not patient enough to see

come to us so out of haste we right pass it.
Re: Does True Love Really Exist Now Adays. by niyooo(m): 6:49pm On May 13, 2007
There's no true love. Just selfishness. If it's going well you stay. If it ain't u hit the freeway the moment something better comes along.
Re: Does True Love Really Exist Now Adays. by hotchic1(f): 7:28pm On May 13, 2007

Okay let me clarify those are the qualities and acts that i belief should be displayed when some is Truly in Love.
If that also relates for True Love fair enough, but if True Love defers from Love someone please educate me - As it is also my understanding that Love also transcends and of course not limited to just those intimately involved. undecided
