Love In Love And The Relationshipful Aspects Of Love

1862 England (Victorian Era) was somewhat of an uptight society, especially compared to today. The majority of people, especially those in the upper class, were expected to be utmostly prim and proper and follow societal norms at all times. This included love, or what love was defined as during the period. George Meredith, in his poem aptly titled “Modern Love”, sets a scene where a husband and wife are sleeping side by side, both reflecting sorrowfully on their melancholy marriage. Meredith argues in this poem that the institution of modern love is inherently flawed, by exposing to the reader that while the husband and wife still care for each other, they want to leave each other because they are both scared of “modern love”. By doing so, Meredith is able to justify his overarching message that applies to all: love is a feeling that cannot be artificially replicated, and attempting to do so is only a detriment.

They say that falling in love is wonderful, that you wouldn’t mind it taking up your time and energy, that every bit and any kind of difficulty of the process would be worth it for it results to a great outcome. They say that when you’re in love, it’s a whole new world, new affection, new sense, new appreciation. Falling in love is a big event in life. I fell in love, and with this love I knew that I wanted this to be around for the rest of my life. I fell in love. Not with a person, but with the art of film making or video production.

For heterosexuality, there’s a difference between the drive for feeling of affection, which we can call it love, and desire for physical pleasure and arousal, which we can name it libido, or sex. Thus, sometimes, these two aspects can be connected and combined, yet they can also be totally separated. The line between love and sex in the relationship of loving people often gets blurred and it’s hard to tell the hierarchy of them. For Homosexuality, the debate over love or libido also happens. For all the readings, Freud’s “Three Essays on The Theory of Sexuality”, Mann’s “Death in Venice”, Socrates’ “Symposium”, the movie “Kinsey” and Foucault’s “The Perverse Implantation”, there’s always the discussion on homosexuality. I can get a

The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return (Moulin Rouge, scene 1). When most people think of love they think of a young couple kissing, sex, a child, or even a beloved pet. Love is according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, strong affection, warm attachment, a beloved person (436). The definition is correct, but so vague it does not mention the different types of love that exist. Most people don’t know that there are three. What are they? They are unconditional love, romantic love, and passion or lust. Great examples of love can be found throughout literature or movies, CDs and all of Shakespeare’s plays. The most famous, Romeo and Juliet, demonstrates all the different types of love although not in the

Love can be interpreted in many different ways by who you are, and how you feel towards it. It can give your life another meaning or it can make it a living hell. It has many different characteristics to it that will make you think about it in a new way. Love has many different seasons to it, and can be expressed in many different ways. There is a theory that gives every type of love a meaning. For every person love can mean something different.

When I change my thoughts and forgive I am able to move on and take these negative experiences and turn them into a positive by knowing I learned a life lesson and I am able to grow from those who have hurt me. Some people think that forgiveness is a sign of weakness, when in reality it is empowering because you do not give them the power to control you.

It is very natural for people to crave for love. Love is valuable as it connects us with people and makes us become better people in general. Love can exist in many forms -- be it family affection, friendship or romantic love. These different types of love can be distinguished by using the three components in love -- intimacy, passion and commitment, as set out in the “Triangular Theory of Love” proposed by psychologist Robert Sternberg.

Marriage was never something that Lexi had viewed with much enthusiasm, having viewed the love-less union of her parents and many other society couples as she grew up. Love had never seemed to be a factor in most of their matches, a man and woman usually only getting married to unite two families for monetary or political gain. The small number of people she could recall getting married because they were in love was very small, and it seemed that most of them stepped out of the society circles by choice or force after their union. With such examples as those she had never much looked forward to her own wedding like most young girls do, dreaming about the perfect Prince Charming to come and sweep them away.

By searching for happiness through these methods, gruesome deaths of themselves or their loved ones result, leaving the seekers of happiness unable to fulfill their lives since they lack love. In Sappho's "Poem 16", She states, "Some men say an army of horse and some men say an army on foot and some say and army of ships is the most beautiful things on the black earth. But I say it is what you love" (Carson 638). To Sappho, agents of war do not portray beauty, but love does. War and the things that come along with it have trivial value, but beauty resides in seeking and nurturing loved ones. This serves as the way to contentment. In contrast, Agamemnon found value in war over love by sacrificing his daughter to give his men safe passage to war, which resulted in his wife murdering him upon his return home, and to add to this tragedy, when the chorus of Agamemnon finds Clytaemnestra standing over Agamemnon's bloody corpse with a sword in her hand, she admits this: "I don't deny it, no. He had no way to flee or fight his destiny" (Fagles 693). Agamemnon seeks gratification in his life by sacrificing his daughter for the sake of his men finding glory in war and power over the Trojans, but in doing so he never has the ability to exercise his power because his actions actually led to his own bloody death, a death that left him helpless in the end. Jason depicts another example of a gruesome end by striving for power. By leaving Medea for a princess that would give him a position

En amour, il y a toujours celui qui donne les baisers et celui qui tend la joue."

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!!

As humans, we naturally have the desire to be loved, whether by family, a close friend, a significant other, and etcetera. Either way, we hope to have these important people in our life so we may share our deepest desires and have someone to listen to us when we go through hardships. However, as humans, we also have the ability to feel lonely when we don’t have someone to lean on. Fortunately, the answer to these problems of loneliness and desolation is simple: it starts with prayer. Prayer is not just and rambling off of memorized words that have no meaning, but a lifting of our minds and hearts to God in praise and petition in a relationship of love (Singer-Towns 185). All people are called to prayer, whether through thanksgiving, petition, or adoration!

Through several types of research and experiments, Barbara Fredrickson concluded that love is a vital nutrient in the human body. She claims that love is the body’s “supreme emotion”, however, negative emotion is just as important. The essay focused primarily on the positive aspects of interaction and barely touches upon the negative. Fredrickson makes it seem as though love is the only emotion the human body needs in order to survive, but that is false. Human social interaction is all composed of psychology and biology. Every human is different, and not all expect to receive “positive resonance” when speaking to another. In actuality, negative emotions are necessary for one to develop and fully understand the positive… being happy all the time is absurd

Love has quite the reputation in today’s world. For all of time it has been a phenomenon that was once unexplained, and even now that science has some answers, it is often regarded as magic. A little girl watches countless movies about a princess and prince who fall in love and live happily ever after. She grows up with the core belief that she will have a similar fate. Some point in her life, she will find “the one” and everything will fall into place. No more searching. Boys are not exposed to the concept of love until later on, but nevertheless they come to the same conclusion: one meeting, fall in love, get married, endless happiness. People are convinced that love is real and it lasts forever. Does it,
