What is love? Some people would say it is a feeling towards another while others say love is the relationship between two people. However, love encompasses much more than just a feeling or a relationship. Love is indescribable or at least in a few words or sentences. Love is a divine gift from the heavens, the ultimate bond between two people. In Letters to a Young Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke, the author of “Letter 7”, states, “Love is difficult, [especially for adolescents.] Young people are incapable to love because it is not a feeling they have learned” (Rilke, 1984, para. 5). It takes time and experience to truly know what love is. Therefore, I agree with Rilke in his belief of fictitious love in the majority of young people.
True love is not like a Disney fairytale. It is not something that happens from first sight or overnight. The guy does not fall instantly head over heels for a girl and vice versa. It takes time to mature. For instance, a mother does not truly love her baby until birth. She cannot physically see it, and sometimes she does not even know that she is pregnant. Over the course of about nine months, she carries her baby. She tries to give the soon-to-be-infant the utmost care. She feeds, reads, and sings to the baby. She can see sonograms and feel the baby kick. During labor, she goes through pain and suffering. When the baby fully escapes the womb, the mother has the biggest, brightest smile because it is the first time she can see and hold
Love is a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person (Dictionary 1). Love is what is known as the “universal language”. There are so many ways love can be interpreted. The central message that the comfort humans receive, and the shyness they feel for an individual are compartments of love that may not always be touched on in poetry.
I believe that love is a natural sentiment that is experienced differently by each individual. For instance, the love for our parents will vary from the love for our life-partners. Just because one form of love may (at times) overshadow the other, does not mean that the end result will be the nonexistence of either one. In the play, Antigone by Sophocles, the character Haimon impersonates a major role at delivering this very message throughout the play and also promotes the classic love story plot of Romeo and Juliet, in the sense that both the families allow hatred to control their lives and lovers kill themselves.
Love is said to be one of the most desired things in life. People long for it, search for it, and crave it. It can come in the form of partners, friends, or just simply family. To some, love is something of a necessity in life, where some would rather turn a cold shoulder to it. Love can be the mixture of passion, need, lust, loyalty, and blood. Love can be extraordinary and breathtaking. Love being held so high can also be dangerous. Love can drive people to numerous mad things with it dangerously so full of craze and passion.
Have you ever felt the feeling of butterflies in your stomach or heard the phrase “my heart skipped a beat for you”? As children, we grew up learning from our elders and experiencing new beginnings in life. Much of our knowledge has been brought upon by what we see and hear, rather of what we know. Many important decisions we make in our life has to do with what our feelings show us. Love is an important matter in our life because it motivates us in different ways. Love can be shown through emotions or even through actions. What is a valuable definition of love? A brief definition of love can be said to be a variety of different feelings or attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure. In other words, to me love is when
What is love? It is a wonderful feeling that warms one’s heart, gives butterflies in one’s face, puts a smile on one’s face, it is the feeling one gets when they come home to see their loved ones and it is knowing that one is never truly alone in the presence of their loved ones. Love is what one feels towards the people they care, towards the people they trust and towards the people they cherish. Some even go as far as claiming it is the best feeling in the entire world. The classic literature piece, Romeo and Juliet conveys the undying love between Romeo and Juliet. They loved each other so much that they were willing to die for one another. Many think this was an act of true love, some still ‘coo’ and ‘awh’ when they hear the story of Romeo and Juliet. However, when taking a closer look at the story, it was a series of foolish decisions, naïve actions and selfishness that led to Juliet’s
In my personal life i haven’t had a lot of experience with true love due to my age. I’ve been taught a few things in life about love. Be honest and truthful to who you love. If you need to lie in true love, it isn’t true love then. If you end up
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
True love is one of the most complicated but strongest emotions in the entire world. Love can build you up, break you down, make you happy, or send you into the deepest of depression.
What is love? Love is not what you assume it is. That 's why so many marriages end in divorce. People get a hormonal rush when they 're around a person and think they 're in love, and believe that person is "the one." Not even close. True love creeps up on you over a long period of time. It 's NOT that powerful feeling of "I must have this person." Instead, it 's a slow build-up. When you truly love someone you don 't have to ask yourself if it 's love. You 're not even ASKING yourself. After having this person in your life for quite some time, one day you wake up and automatically know. It 's not an emotional rush of feeling type of
True love in both modern and ancient poetry remains a hot topic. Many poets have spouted their take on love through fancy shows of rhyme and rhythm while forgetting the realities of what true love is. True love doesn’t revolve around how one feels during the best times in life, but by the strength of two lover’s bond when everything around is beating them down. Poetry expresses true love’s strength and its converse extreme naivety. The selected poetry shows both the reality of love and the dreams of a utopian society. The reality of love in selected poetry can be expressed in a variety of ways.
Love has many different meanings to different people. For a child, love is what he or she feels for his mommy and daddy. To teenage boy, love is what he should feel for his girlfriend of the moment, only because she says she loves him. But as we get older and "wiser," love becomes more and more confusing. Along with poets and philosophers, people have been trying to answer that age-old question for centuries: What is love?
Love is a feeling that cannot be defined in words. It’s an expression; an unsolicited expression. It is a feeling that comes in our heart in an unanticipated manner. It is indeed an expression which never follows the laws of nature. The passions seems to be inflated when someone happens to fall in love. Love is unpredictable, it cannot be justified, but can just be intensified.
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.
Thus is the nature of love: that you must use it! A love unused is not love! If it is something that sits on the shelf that you don 't know what to do with, it is not true to the nature of love! Use love!” by C. JoyBell C. According to this quote love is something that you have to use it when you have in your life but the understanding of true love is different for everyone. It depends on the situation what someone is suffering. “Desperate characters” and “What we talk about when we talk about love” is presenting the nature of love in a different way. Which is complicated. The story of “Girl” is also revealed a loving relationship of mother and daughter which is different than above two stories.
What is true love? True love to me is not just a feeling or an emotion, but it is a choice. It is a choice that you and your partner commit to everyday, and are willing to sacrifice and go above and beyond for one another no matter what the circumstance is. As stated by Seth Adam Smith, in “Real Love Is a Choice”, he too believes that real love is not just a “euphoric, spontaneous feeling—it is a deliberate choice—a plan to love each other for better and worse, for richer and poorer, in sickness and in health”. For instance, this is an example of my parents’ relationship of February, 2003; through the four years of their relationship, they had successfully gone through it without any struggles or obstacles, but as they were approaching their
