How Does Love Determines Our Lives?

According to Aristophanes, love (eros) – the highest form of love that one human being can feel towards another – is the desire of dissected halves, one to another, for restoring the wholeness of the nature’s origin. I will explain what does Aristophanes mean by his metaphor and why do people fall in love.

Our choices influence how we live and how people see us, whatever decision we make impacts not only us, but our family as well. To start off, in the movie Forrest Gump directed by Robert Zemeckis, Forrest the main character is in love with his best friend, but when he goes to marry her, she puts him down. When Forrest asks Jenny to marry him and that he would make a good husband and she responds with “you would, Forrest” and then continues to say you don’t want to marry me. – Here Forrest is hurt that the love of his life does not want to be with him, but she is only hurting him because she is afraid of commitment and afraid to let him down. She loved him, but knows she cannot commit to something she

determines your fate because they have an impact on the decisions you make. We are all

Love affects what people choose to do weather it is right or wrong. “You’re going to have to make a choose, the girl said carl or us ” (Carver 785). In this example from “Everything Stuck to Him”the boy is faced with his family

“The greatest thing in life is love, and be loved in return” (Eden Ahbez). “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things” (Cor 13:7). Love also influences all things. It is a powerful force that drives people to do things they would normally not do. In the news, there are several instances of murder in the name of love or robbing a bank because a person needs money for the person they love. There are also everyday instances of moving cross country for the person you love, leaving the person you love just to see them happy, or choosing another career path just to be with your significant other. In the literary works The Epic of Gilgamesh and Medea. Gilgamesh and Medea prove

Love can do many things. It can be both harmful and beneficial. Love can scar, and love can inspire. Love can torment, and love can encourage. Love can irritate, and love can comfort. The unseen force of love can go even further than that, though. Love can

Eve Dallas is the main character, when she was a little girl she had lived in a hotel room with her father. Her mother had left them for drugs. Eve’s father was a drug dealer and an alcoholic, when he left the hotel he would lock her in the hotel room. She would starve until her dad got back. He raped her everyday until someone called the cops. She was then placed in foster

Winter is coming. It is an inevitable fact of life (as well as the tagline of an excellent television show), and with the dark, cold portions of our lives come great challenges, both internal and external. In “Livvie” and “A Very Tight Place” respectively, Eudora Welty and Stephen King explore the winters of their central characters’ lives. In both cases, the characters emerge triumphant, and the freshness of spring has clearly arrived. With their protagonists’ powerful journeys, Welty and King suggest that the process of overcoming psychological and physical barriers is akin to rebirth.

Due to that, love is an act of fate. Someone can't control fate. Someone is not able to control something that's bound to happen, just like someone cant control the earth from spinning. Its bound to happen, and no one can control it. “Although I hate her, I'll not harm her so.”(3.2.282).

For example, a lot of marriages in today’s society end in divorce. This is difficult because it means that two people have given up on eachother. It also can be losing a loved one in an accident or even by natural causes. Love can be described in multiple ways and with multiple meanings. For example, it can be explained as the feeling of hurt when a mother has to leave her children or hearing a dog whimper when its owner leaves it behind.

What is love? The type of love I’m describing is the one that gives you butterflies when a certain person comes to mind. Just seeing that particular person can be enough to make one smile and make your day and all the worries go away. Right now that person comes to mind. It’s neither a crush nor infatuation and many are willing to do anything for this thing that is called love. Love can hurt in the long run, and people can also be blinded by it.

Why is love so important in a person’s life? In society, love is such a vital aspect which most center their lives around. For many it is what creates meaning in their daily lives and what makes us continue to chose to live. People move across the country for love, do outrageous acts that declare their love, and spend their lives dedicating time, energy, and commitment to those they chose to love. “Love is what makes the world go round” because it is such a strong feeling of attachment we feel for our partners, children, and friends. As humans we have strong emotional needs and many make the mistake of ignoring when these needs are not being met.

It seems to be without question that love is at the core of what every human desires. We seek it from the start of life, before we even know the word or emotion, in the bond of parent and child. We look for it in friendships and family relationships as we grow throughout childhood. When mature, we long for the companionship that a lifelong vow of love and marriage will satisfy. The Bible mentions love hundreds of times and places it high above almost anything else, naming it as the center of our salvation in Christ and our hope of life eternal with Him. It’s almost too simple of a concept that love matters, but as Sue Gerhardt shares throughout her book Why Love Matters: How Affection Shapes a Baby’s Brain, somehow we lose sight of just how important love really is, and the fallout from this neglect can change a person’s life completely.

I love books because my books love me back . In moments of distress literature guides me. When I am heavy hearted, I turn to my favorite novels, they reassure me that even in the worst situation good fate always wins . When I am lonely, I reacquaint myself with the safe and familiar characters that I have grew to love. When I am happy, I smile because I have lived the lives of warriors, enchantresses, and even the commonday person. Although the emotional connection between literature and myself is imperishable, there was a time in my life when that bond was nonexistent. However, for one to understand the significant impact stories have had on my life, one must know my life. Thus this story begins with my childhood. A conventional upbringing of sorts but of course my childhood doesn't begin with me. It begins with my parents. My parents met each other at high school when they were fourteen years old . Call it destiny, or mere luck, this one cue meet would define their lives for the next twenty two years. My parents fell quickly and passionately in love. Their devotion for one another as an imminent as their fallout, however, we are not there yet. We are at the bittersweet moments of young love. The moments that make one believe in eternity although these moments themselves cease to last just as long. My parents own version of forever welcomed a young little girl named Nicte Impala Perez on March 18th 1998. In that moment, my parents believed that the three of us could defeat

Before I talk about love in religion I want to give a more in depth explanation of what love is and why it is important from a human perspective. If you were to ask a psychologist what they think love is, they would probably describe it as an emotion or something that we feel when we experience desire or attraction to something. Our brains release chemicals such as dopamine and adrenaline when we experience love. It is a driving force that can cause us to act a certain way, think a certain way, or even believe a certain way. Because of this, it is often regarded as the single most powerful emotion a person can experience.
