My Faith In Love : The Power Of Love

Love is such a complicated word, it is so simple to see it as a simple math problem with a one or two letter response but in all actuality, love is much much more complicated. It is this thought that what we have interpreted here on this earth is one type of love and God has another type of love designed for us. In the book “The General Theory of Love” it discusses this idea of love through attachment and how the baby monkey if given a choice can choose whether it gets comfort and safety from one surrogate mother or food and nourishment from another. The result each time is the same, the baby monkey will select the surrogate mother of comfort and safety over nourishment and this result then creates this question of “what is love really?” (Lewis, Amini, Landon, 72).

Growing up as an only child my best friends were the Disney princesses. I watched them glide and dance along the screen, swinging in the arms of a handsome prince. They were magnificent. Beautiful, graceful, and powerful. I wanted nothing more to join their brigade.

Through first person perspective, further analysis regarding the possible danger the power of love can posses is shown. Tavia was talking to her therapist Elizabeth, about the unusually quick feelings of attachment she has for a boy that she has only talked to once; Quinn, as Tavia states, “It's almost like I’m two people - one who can’t stop thinking about Benson...one who can’t stop thinking about Quinn.” (Pike.68) This quote demonstrates that the power of love takes full control of one’s thoughts. When someone like Tavia is in love, all thoughts are about the one you trust and love the most as the author illustrated this by using first person perspective to demonstrate Tavia’s inner voice at all times. When someone is able to control one’s

Young girls are often stuck in a world of make believe, they are fed fairytales, dream up unimaginable views of reality and believe everyone will find their prince charming. This unrealistic perspective is formed through their experiences with different fairytales. As G.K. Chesterton tells the fairytale are a realistic world for children, “Fairy tales are more than true — not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten”. Fairytales lead these girls to believe that in order to find true love there is some sort of intense journey one must go on. This idea of a journey for love has created a specific ideology for what love is and how to achieve it. In the text Beauty and the Beast by Madame Le Prince

A childhood myth that I realized shaped my expectations in life is the happily ever after princess stories. In every princess story the girl always end up with a prince. At first they go through trials and tribulation but the princess overcome everything and also find her true love. When I was a little girl I wanted to be a princess and live happily ever after. Even now, when I watch romance movies I always want the girl or the guy to find their true love and have a happy ending. Finding true love and happily ever after has shaped my expectations in finding the right person to be with. I’m not going to settle for a guy that disrespect me or tries to buy my love, but being with someone that loves me for me and that I can’t live without.

Like every other kid in America, we've all grown up with the beautiful images of Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, and many other magnificent brands. For myself, I always gravitated more towards Disney films and though very much a female cliché, my love started with Princess Ariel from The Little Mermaid. It wasn't just her voice or the story that caught my attention, it was her curiosity about how human items worked and her awareness of another world that reminded me of myself. Even now at seventeen, I still find myself lost in these inspiring films and curious for more.

Classic Disney films, for years, have fueled ideas of true love and romance in the eyes of viewers. The practically unreal romance scenes, including the thought of love at first sight, have attracted viewers of all ages. The romance contained within many Disney scenes and movies is one characteristic that is appealing to fans of Disney. In just about every Disney princess movie, there exists the idea of love at first sight. For example, in “The Little Mermaid”, Ariel is practically love struck when she sets eyes on Prince Eric for the very first time. Without speaking a single word to him, Ariel is somehow in love. This classic Disney film has won the hearts of fans of all ages. Why? Well, as a viewer, there is something very attractive and

Stop staring Cassidy. Don’t even look. Ignore his muscular arms and the way he pumps up his team. Ignore the roaring crowd cheering for him. Ignore the wind blowing through his hair, forcing him to comb his fingers through it. Ignore the girl holding up a sign in his honor.

I believe that love is the most enticing, vigorous, and mysterious force on this planet. I believe it is also the cause of many shattered hearts, and endless suffering. It is the one thing everyone is searching for, yet terrified to find. Love can be phenomenal and make you feel elevated to a level of pure ecstasy, or it can bring you tremendous affliction, trapping your soul into the heart of a demonic and dreary abyss.

I believe in the power of love. Not the dictionary definition that’s romanticized and exemplifies intimacy - one that’s genuine and directed towards everybody, not just two people in a relationship. Love can be perceived in so many different ways it is often misunderstood.

Julie, in her black stockings and new cashmere sweater dress, showed up the cafe in hopes of a great date with the mysterious Brendan. Her friend Raymond had set them up and she was excited to finally meet him. As she walked in, she immediately saw the lanky, brooding boy; he was tucked into a corner table, reading a book with a title she couldn't pronounce if she tried. Walking quickly she was almost immediately in front of him. Brendan looked up at her and was absolutely enamored with the way her auburn hair so drastically contrasted with her pale blue dress. He sat up straight and marked his page all while looking at her.

“Yes, would you like something to drink?” He called the waiter and he ordered a coffee while I asked for a tea. “Well, I know that I might sound like a girl and you might not be okay with what I’m going to tell you.” Harry said. Whoa, is it that bad? “I like your sister, well, more than like.” He confessed. I raised an eyebrow and I felt my blood boiling.

In Thornton Wilder’s The Bridge of San Luis Rey, a monk named Brother Juniper witnesses the collapse of a busy Peruvian bridge, resulting in the deaths of five unfortunate travelers crossing it. Juniper, so dismayed by this unexpected tragedy, decides to explore the lives of the victims in order to prove that God has a distinct, intentional plan for every person. Collecting his discoveries and publishing them in a book, he documents the lives and stories of Doña Maria the Marquesa de Montemayor, her servant Pepita, an orphaned laborer named Esteban, Uncle Pio, the mentor of a famous singer, and the boy in his care, Don Jaime. Throughout the text, Juniper’s findings on the relationships within these five lives reveal the

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.
