Love only. I attempt to make it a point and live by that code, and it gets hard sometimes, but what’s life without a little challenge. I wouldn’t say that if given the opportunity I’d take the more dangerous and risky road, because I would be lying, but I’m not entirely opposed to walking on thin ice every now and then. It’s not my greatest quality, but it’s a dominant one. My close friends would undoubtedly describe me as the “mom” of the group, but others would possibly say something more along the lines of “a lost puppy”. I’d love to say that my eloquence is ineffable, but unfortunately that is not the case. I just have a strong love for reading. If you were to name a book, there’s a 70% that I’ve read it, wanted to read it, have put it on my reading list, or have heard of it. I’d really love to have something more interesting to say about my personality, but all I do is sing karaoke, read, and watch Fifth Harmony videos. So onto the specifics we go!! My favorite word of all time is “serendipity”; it essentially means “fortunate accident”. This single word has had great influence on me as a person; because it taught me the only way to accurately experience anything is to believe in it. Not a spurious “I believe”, but wholly and copiously believing in something, that nothing can influence the way you perceive it. For instance, the hero boy in the “Polar Express”, he had trouble believing in Santa Claus, and was filled with doubt. But the hero girl, she believed, and she
The human idea of love is quite possibly the most misunderstood in today’s society. Love can be between a man and woman, mother/father and their kids, or even really good friends. However, these relationships of love go through many interactions and stages to start and progress. Many psychological events must occur and be worked through in order to be successful. All relationships must endure the five perspectives of human behavior. These perspectives are biological, learning, social and cultural, cognitive, and psychodynamic influences.
Love is said to be the greatest human experience in which mankind are privilege to partake in. To love can be a wondrous experience filling life with bliss and other strong emotions. Some people believe to love is to be alive and be able to see the good in the world and others. The purpose of this paper is to examine and find a better understanding of what is love, to explore what people believe love to be, and what lies surround the perception of love and to explore and expose what the meaning true love is or at the very least the authors understanding of the perception of love. In addition to exploring the concept, deception and the truth of love,
According to Sternberg, the theories were separated, the triangular theory of love and the theory of love as a story. Love can be understood in three components that can form a triangle. Each of the components manifests different aspect of love. In my own words, this theory is using intimacy, passion, and commitment as the three main points because this is three words that each relationship, friendship should exercise. My boyfriend Jakob and I have known each other for a total of two years now. We began dating November of 2016. We had a love for one another starting off as friends, but it never really felt like a friendship; it felt like so much more. In this paper I will share real experiences in my relationship I am in currently and
For me, the word that means so much to me is “rejection”. It was never really spoken about when I was young, but it didn’t mean I knew what it meant. I constantly felt rejected, whether it was at school or in society itself. It took control of my childhood; I always kept my mouth shut along with my ideas in my head. I believed that as soon as I opened my mouth, it would lead me into instant rejection. My feelings towards this word was highly unhealthy.
In my life, words have had a great influence on me and have changed my life for the better. Words that have had the greatest influences on me are the words spoken in General Conference by the General Authorities. The ideas and words
I 've always loved science. I have for almost 3 years. It 's my favorite subject, and i 'll even research science outside of school. I own a telescope and i could go out whenever i want and set it up. But for awhile before 5th grade, i didn 't love science. Science was actually uninteresting to me, but in april of 2015, this changed.
Does brain equal behavior? Some people have argued that they have difficulty saying it does because they find it hard to believe that our individual, tangible brain controls emotions that many consider to be intangible, such as being in love. This paper will discuss the role that the brain actually plays in love- why we are attracted to certain people, why we feel the way we do when we are around them, and whether or not this is enough to say that in the case of love, brain does equal behavior.
The theories of love covered many components and view about what love is, what drives us to want someone and also what brings someone to committing to that significant other for the long run. One theory that I found to be the most helpful in categorizing love and explaining what makes a person want to find love in the first place was the Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love. Sternberg’s Triangle Theory of Love have three points in the triangular shape which are decision/commitment, intimacy and passion. Decision and commitment is when a person consciously make the decision to do thing for the relationship and invest time into the relationship for better or worse. The person at this time is in total awareness and in control of what they would like to do in the relationship and where they would want to lead it in the future. Passion is when our partner reciprocates our passion or lust for them through kissing or making love. Intimacy is where we have become very emotionally invested in our partner expressing ourselves through communication. This theory is one that shows that couples can be a match or mismatch, but show points to where they are very compatible.
The achievement of an interpersonal mature union between two people can never be reached through pseudo-love relationships, yet that does not mean that in a capitalist society rational love cannot be experienced and lived by those modern citizens to don’t follow the herd. In the second part of the book titled, “The Theory of Love”, within The Art of Loving, Fromm explains that love is an activity, an activity of giving, rather than receiving. The act of giving is “the highest expression of potency” therefore giving is an expression of one’s aliveness (Fromm, 23). The productive character, unlike the modern citizen, when he offers rational love, in return, he receives love without having to ask or negotiate for it; because in rational love “giving means receiving” (Fromm, 25). In addition to the act of giving, love will always include five basic elements common to all forms of rational love, that includes, caring, responsibility, respect, and knowledge. To love rationally, one must be concerned and caring of the loved one’s life and development as an individual. The persistence of caring is necessary in order to love. As a result of one’s active involvement in the life of the other person, with whom he forms a mature union, a new aspect of love needs to be introduced: that of responsibility. Fromm specifies that responsibility acted in a mature love relationship is not a kind of duty that is imposed by external factors, rather it is a voluntary act of being ready and able to
Love is a powerful feeling; it makes you do crazy thing. Many people spend years trying to find it, others give up thinking they’ll never find it. Love has been defined as an intensive feeling of a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone. Of course, Love doesn 't have to romantic and/or sexual. People who are ace, as in asexual, aromantic and agender, can still be in relationships that are satisfying for them without the needs of a romantic relationship. Familial love is also non-romantic-sexual. However, in this paper, we will be talking about romantic-sexual love, what it is, and why I believe it’s so important to understand and experience.
Throughout life, many individuals are blessed in certain aspects of their lives. These aspects could be in love, fortunes, or life itself. Although people may be grateful for what they have it is common that they will take these great aspects for granted. When people take these important and blessed aspects of their lives for granted it pisses me off. I have been fortunate enough to have a great life and I have been blessed in many ways. I am always sure to appreciate the people, materials, and life I have. Unfortunately, I have seen people take their lives for granted, so it is my goal to try and make these individuals realize the amazing lives they are blessed with.
The world tends to remove around love. Movies, books, tv shows, and your everyday life all include love. Popular media almost always displays love to be intense and bright and cheerful. Couples in romance movies don’t fight but instead make out under the stars, and the whole world freezes for a while. But anyone who has ever loved before knows that it is not all rainbows, sunshine, and bunnies. Sometimes it’s wanting to end things so bad you can’t stand it. Sometimes it’s having to let go. Sometimes it’s having to step back and reevaluate.
I wake up at 6:30 every morning jump in the shower, put on some clothes, and slap that smile on my face that my mom reminds me of every morning. This is how this school year has begun and maybe will continue to go. I’m hiding behind this curtain 24/7 trying to hide the emotion of how I really feel every day. It wasn’t always this way though. About two months ago I hopped on a plan to face a new adventure where I was hoping to find my myself and discover my future. I learned a lot over this month away from home. I learned what it meant to live for one purpose, and know that love is something greater than our understanding of it, and that we may never face on earth. I developed a sense of wonder for purpose and passion. Little did I know that this month would fly by and after this spiritual high came down the test would begin.
En amour, il y a toujours celui qui donne les baisers et celui qui tend la joue."
Just as no two snowflakes look the same that fall from the sky – love probably has a slightly different look or meaning to each individual person. For me, love is something I’ve decided to do, something we should all receive, and something to give. Love is a deep desire to inflict joy and affection onto others, especially the ones people hold an emotional value with. I believe that all emotions derive from love or a lack of love. At a young age, I was taught that there are three different stages of love Eros love, Philos love, and Agape love.
