What Is Your Definition Of Love? by kay29000(m): 12:05pm On Jan 11, 2016 |
In the last couple of years, I have gone for weddings (even been the bestman at some), and watch man and wife proclaim love for each other, only to end the union a few years later. I have watched boyfriend and girlfriend become worst enemies, even though they were so much "in love" at a point. So, what really is love? What is the true definition of love? I would say love is a verb, but even at that, I won't be capturing what love truly is. Cos, if I said that loving is action, then love would become conditional. Then it would mean love is built on the number of phone calls, gifts, trips, love making a person can give to his partner. If for some reasons beyond the person's control (prolonged sickness, bankruptcy, or old age), he or she can't do these things again, does it mean the love would then die out? Personally, I think true love can be found somewhere along the lines of prolonged friendship. This, I think lasts longer than having super strong attraction (bordering obsession) for someone, which can, within a short period, turn to HATE. These are just my thoughts. |

Love is caring deeply for someone, knowing their faults and still accepting them while you commit to seeing them become better. It is wanting to spend time with them and being happy when you do. 2 Likes 1 Share |

midehi2:truth and sincerity you say? Haven't you seen relationships that end because of truth and sincerity.. Now if I tell you the "truth" that I've slept with 10 women whilst we are dating and prior to the promiscuous life I've lived behind your back(which I sincerely and truthfully told you) I now have HiV/AIds.. Midehi.. Will you still remain in the relationship? |
Re: What Is Your Definition Of Love? by kay29000(m): 1:10pm On Jan 11, 2016 |

obiorathesubtle:no...you got me wrong, with this your story now you werent truthful and sincere from the beginning with her, how would you live a promiscuous life behind her back and expect the relationship to last hun! if you had lived a rough past before meeting her, sincerity from you to her will last, i mean truthfulness, she will even love you more for telling your rough past but if you keep on with same past,definatly she will end it. i still maintain 'respect, understanding,truthfulness & sincerity makes a relationship last...there are other ingredients too but those are the best keys. 1 Like |

midehi2:Lol.. Okay.. One bottle of Baileys for making an intelligent point! However, humans are free moral agents and a relationship will end even if those things are in excess.. If I wanted to contradict myself, I'll say The only thing that would keep a relationship is fervent determination.. If you've watched "The Notebook" you'll understand what I'm saying. 1 Like |

this is just the simple definition of love, ''love is when i dont have anything though with potentials, i have no recognition at all, i am not that handsome, i have no solid financial background and still Linda Ikeji says she'll die not having me as her crown" dys is the purest cuz despite all flaws ur partner will still find something valuable in u to keep him/her obssessed with u |
