Yes love only exist from God to man but anyone who believes in human love is a big fool.

Human love is a charade, a chase after the wind which is based on a condition and if the condition is no longer there, love fades and tolerance sets in with an eventual crash just for us to start looking for the right condition in another person which triggers the so called dumb words "I LOVE YOU".
sorry to disappoint you. even the religious God don't love unconditionally. he doesn't love sinners. he has a lake of fire for them. He only loves those who worship him and it is said he will give them mansions in heaven.

so even the religious God loves for a purpose.

If Jesus could love us despite our sh1tty lives then love is real..

My advice; don't awaken love till you're ready if not u might just have your heart shattered beyond repair
but there's fire, just in case.

how can that be love when there's fire waiting for those who refuse? that's a conditional love

For the person referencing Romeo and Juliet, Romeo was madly in love with Rosaline in the beginning because she was so beautiful. He became dangerously depressed when he found he couldn't be with her. When he saw Juliet at a party one night, he completely forgot about Rosaline because Juliet was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. There's always a reason (here its beauty)

In the context of 'romantic' true love, I believe that two people will feel highly attracted to each other based on a combination of hormones (e.g. oxytocin) and neurotransmitters that activate their 'reward' centers of their brain, leading to feelings of attachment to each other. The level of oxytocin released is proportional to the levels of attachment they have for each other.

Now, you think you love someone? You can't love someone for who they are, because people can never know each other 100%. When you think you're in love, it's your mind who plays with reality, and makes your "lover" perfect for you (perfect does not exist, nor does love). Maybe you think you love someone, but I bet that one of you will love the other one more, and the one who loves most, will be used in this game called love. BE with someone you trust, respect and admire.

No human love without reason

So,if I get attracted to intelligent ladies who I think are morally upright,have good characters,godly,etc;it means I'm loving with a condition(condtionally)? That means I can only love unconditionally,when I fall in love with a woman wth bad characters,no brains,morally bankrupt,etc,and still love her? Sometimes,I feel you kind of contradict yourself when not necessary. Before love,comes attraction. You can't talk of love without being attracted to a person first. The good looks,intellect and stuffs,are what makes one party to develop strong feelings for the other.

When you say someone is loving condtionally,it means there's some kind of material gain or otherwise,or some kind of tangible benefit which can be vividly seen,that the person derives from the union and quite often,such unions thrives as long as that thing exists. When you say someone loves conditionally,it means that person expects somthing in return for the love given. Good looks,intelligence and co,do not fall into such conditions. I have loved unconditonally without waiting for a reward. What brings the attractions shouldn't be seen as the condtions for loving.

This your thread is so spot on. Love is only based on GAINS to the other party. Honestly speaking, relationship is purely contract.

CuteMorriz:
....yet people who have spent so much time with. other get divorced. Couples of over 10yrs get divorced when according to your belief the love is supposed to be higher than everest. Man is selfish. Man cannot love only God can; even God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah...In the end we are just together because we are together....
cheesy

The truth is that most of these marriages were doomed from the start, the couple had issues from year 1 but kept managing due to the "what people will say syndrome".

Interview any divorcee they will tell you they always had issues, they just kept trying hoping it will work. You will hardly hear them say "We were cool from the start and issues just arose".
So your argument is flawed.

I agree that no man can love like God simply because even at the face of persecution Jesus still extended the hand of love. Humans cannot do that, it's hard to love someone that plots to kill you. That's where God's love supersedes man but not in cases of couples love.

I don't blame Nigerians as much as i blame some aspects of our culture for failed marriages. Ladies are pressured to marry, once you graduate its like there's no other achievement you can get except to be a wife. Its so terrible; most ladies don't marry for love, they marry to dodge the stigma.

Toks2008:
Can you love without a reason and unconditionally? What is the true definition of love?

I strongly believe that real and unconditional love only exist from God to man but anyone who believes in human love is a big dummy.

In my opinion i believe that ,human love is a charade, a facade and a chase after the wind which is based on a selfish condition and if the condition is no longer there, love fades and tolerance sets in with an eventual crash.


[b]But when this selfish condition is still present in that other person, we usually use the so called dumb words "I LOVE YOU", "PROMISE YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE ME", "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU", "WILL YOU MARRY ME", "YES I DO TILL DEATH..."

Let's cut the chase and face facts, human relationship is basically an exchange of obligation,a pure trade by barter. We will likely hear those vague words "I love you" from someone who actually desires you because of your sexual features,money,cuteness,fear of God, future prospect,moral standards, fame and so on and God help you that those reasons remain else you are a past tense or a mere partner that will be tolerated maybe because the other party is no longer at a vantage point to dump you and both of you will now become a good sample couple of real love while in actual fact you are only tolerating each other.

So when next you hear a man ask you "will you marry me or can we start dating?" or a lady agrees to be your date or wife,rather than assume that it is love in action, just find a nice moment to ask that person why he or she wants you as a date or spouse so that you can always keep that reason alive to avoid heart ache.[/b]


So my humble advice to people out there looking for true love or someone who will love them for real is to stop chasing shadows and be with someone who catches their fancy and keep the condition of the "attraction" alive or continue to wait for real love until Mongo park discovers them.

I have deep things to write concerning this but on a second thought i have decided to hold back and throw this open for discussion as the title is self explicit.

Call me a sadist, a pessimist or any name you desire but as I always reiterate, I am a realist but Maybe true love exist between a man and woman in a love affair in one out of a million chances but i would like to read from you if you believe in this 4 letter scam called L O V E,

Over to you all.

TRUE LOVE ONLY EXIST IN CHRIST

And can you love without a reason?

This thread is getting interesting and taking its course even without the write up proper..let me see how far this will go.
Yes! There was this guy I loved so much that even till now I can't say this is why I love him. He wasn't worth it but I truly loved him without reason. I believe in love (because what I do for someone, it's not for him /her but for me).But few people find those commitments useless.Finding love is not that easy, but giving love is under your control so u can give it to others.

Can you love without a reason?

This is a simple logic. Love is not natural, it is a result of personal perspectives, greed and gains/rewards.

Have you ever asked yourself why the so called Love vanish between couple that once loved each other?

Can you shiit without reason? Can your body proccess fecal matter for expulsion without any reason?
Like just out of nowhere you just decide to take a shiit, not that you've eaten or not that you have a stomach or anything, you just decide to take a shiit for no reason atall in the world.
So now, will you say shiiting is not a natural process because theres a reason behind it?

There is a reason why the sun, there is a reason why life is able to exist on this planet earth, because the earth is in the goldilock zone from the sun. Have you ever asked yourself what will happen to life on earth if the sun suddenly disappears? But i guess that is not a natural phenomenon because of you all so superior theory.
