Through life, people experience many kinds of love. Many people often believe they love someone, when they actually do not because they may not know what the word means. As much as we want to understand love, it is still simply indescribable. As C.S. Lewis tries to explain it in his book, The Four Loves, it is still a mystery as to what love truly means. I believe in order to know what love means, one must experience it. It is quite true that went two individuals are in love with each other, they know it and can feel it. No matter how much love is studied and looked at, every individual must experience it to understand it. Along with this love lies circumstances which lead

Forgiveness is very important throughout life. If people don't forgive, they are going to be stuck in the past always remembering about the mistake that person did. Forgiving someone can make yourself feel better because you know you forgave that person and there's no negativity between you and that person.

To begin with, forgiving people who wronged you comes in handy since it helps you live a longer and healthier life. According to the informational text “Understanding Forgiveness” written by PBS, it states that people who forgive have “ [f]ewer stress-related health issues” and their

Love is a powerful human emotion. Everyone will experience love at some point in their life. It is almost impossible to avoid love. From loving your parents as a baby to loving your first pet, you will encounter it. “Every human being is capable of love but unfortunately, many have crippled themselves with all kinds of stupid belief systems, opinions, philosophies, ideologies — everything except life. If you are life, it is very natural to love” (Sandhguru). The four young lovers in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” encountered love and ended up doing anything to keep that love.

Learning how to love someone started off with me learning to love myself. Having self-esteem, confidence, and self-pride is the first step. I can't love someone

“‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” (Miriam-Webster 253). This quote has been used for centuries as both persuasion in favor of loving and also as comfort in times of heartbreak and loss. However, is this statement completely true, or does it offer false hope to anguishing lovers? In fact, are the rules and costs of loving and being loved so great that in fact it is actually better to never have loved at all? When pondering these questions, one must first consider the rules of loving and being loved to determine the physical, emotional, and psychological costs they entail. In order to do so, one could use Andreas Capellanus’ The Art of Courtly Love as a guideline for the rules of love.

Forgiveness is letting go; whether it be letting go of small things or big things, it helps people move on. Each person has their own definition of what forgiveness truly means. Its logical for people to be forgiven because no matter what they do, they're human; humans make mistakes. It can be hard not to forgive, but it's also necessary to put away your differences and reunite with former enemies. It makes sense to ask for forgiveness.

Forgiving others frees us from resentment. Forgiving ourselves is part of positive change. To cease to feel angry or bitter towards a person or about an offence(List of Virtues)”. Slaves may have taken a very long time to forgive the people who had mistreated them, and many may have went back to treat their no longer masters the same way they had been treated. People may explain the horros they had been through during that time, but that may be a way for them to forgive the way they had been treated. Not for the person who had been heartless at the moment or still be heartless but for theirselves, so they no longer feel traumatized,out in the world feel as if someone will run up behind them and still them once again from their family. Forgiveness is being able to no longer feel angry to the same thing they thought they would be mad at forever. It is being able to see something again and not feel hatred towards

Also, understanding is the key to forgive someone regrets his immoral acts against you. The story of Albert Speer reveals the sorrow and compassion of one of the culprit find himself face to face with a victim. Mr. Albert was supporting the Nazis against Jews during the Holocaust. He acknowledged his responsibility and guilt for the mass crime. With the guilty verdict, he imprisoned for twenty years for his legal inhuman acts. When Simon Wiesenthal met him, Albert considered his eyes to find compassion and humanity inside (The Sunflower 246). Thus, I believe that when victim lets down the revenge, he also removes most of the barriers for a substantial correction. In the meantime, if you forgive, you can stop the stupidity of haters and prove that you are much stronger. Besides the world has a lot of evidence proclaiming that the desire for revenge disappears even after a long time of reciprocal violence, but only the people who forgive are the last standing.

Enright and Reed’s (2006) article confirms that forgiveness is extremely important because it brings positive change from negative experiences. Forgiveness therapy does not mean that a person has to forget the abuse they experienced. It does not even mean that the person is looking to build a better relationship with the person that abused him or her but it does mean that the person has made a moral decision to have an attitude of benevolence which will improve all of the negative outcomes of the abuse. Accepting the fact that I have been done wrong and realizing that I cannot change what has already occurred leads me to only want to make sure the situation or a similar situation does not happen again. Choosing to forgive and let go of anger makes room for joy and cheerfulness.

They say love is the best cure for any issue that may occur in one’s lifetime, but is that always true? In “Love 2.0: How Our Supreme Emotion Affects Everything We Feel, Think, Do and Become,” written by Barbara Fredrickson, it shows how the body and mind act differently when it comes to the effects of love. In the story, it shows how the physical aspect and the biological state of a person can rapidly change one’s understanding of love. The emotional state that a person is in can affect their daily lives and with the effects of love, it makes the mind and body go through many horrible changes that may cause separation from the real world. Love is not always the answer, but understanding the idea of isolation and positivity resonance helps

Hannah More claims, “Forgiveness is the economy of the heart...forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits. ” I completely support this quote. Being mad at someone and holding a grudge is a daunting task, but being the bigger person and forgiving them is easy. Forgiving someone means to stop blaming them and stop being angry at them for whatever they did to you. This is not a common trait found in people.

Upon reading Erich Fromm’s The Art of Loving, I gained a better understanding of what love really is. Fromm’s book puts love into perspective. He begins with several facts with regards to the attitude in which people treat love. They are the problems of how to be loved, the object to love as well as the confusion between the initial experience of falling in love and the permanent state of being in love, which had a great impact on me, as far as thinking about what love is.

What is love? Not just the emotion and the feelings that a person feels, but what it is exactly. Is it just a feeling that is in a humans' heart? Does love even come from the heart or is it a chemical reaction in the brain that makes a lover think that? When it comes to love there are so many questions that can be asked, but why does love even matter? With a better understanding of love, a partaker of love is better equipped to handle everything that goes with it. With this better understanding a person will be able to love others, themselves, and the world they live in. Opening your heart to love is not something to be afraid of, but to embrace and is supposed to be the easiest thing to do. In other words, love will help you survive.
