Unrequited Love Is The Worst Kind Of Love

For many, love is a constant search for happiness that never ends. The desire for love is longed for and pursued by every human. Many constantly seek it in self satisfaction, but are never fully satisfied with the love which they attain. The biggest reason for this is the distortion of the love which is sought for. True love is pure and selfless, the perfection of a person. It is truly something which must be cultivated in order to recognize and attain it. Love is a gift so sacred that it is worth living and dying for. “Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not

This story is extremely relatable as most of us have experience our first love. The narrator is speaking of her teenage years when she could not figure out if she was truly in love or if it was just her body’s reaction to a boy of interest. At the age where terms like attraction, infatuation, and crush seem alien to most of us, more often than not we find ourselves in a dilemma. We are confused filled up with questions such as Are we in love? Will we end up with each other? What is in store for us? This particular story by Cofer exemplifies the universal thoughts of most of the teens growing up. Regardless of what has happened with our “First Love”, we cannot deny but we all experienced mixed emotion during that particular stage of life; confused, scared, and

Love is a powerful emotion that every human being has experience at least once in their life. There are numerous connotations that refer to this emotion, but there is only one kind of love that can make a person change completely in unexpected ways. It is the kind of love that consumes the soul and everything within. Mixed with excitement, adventure, heartbreak, happiness and joy; it is a big ball of feelings, all concentrated in one simple, yet extremely complicated necessity to have, protect, please and give all of oneself to that one person. In certain occasions, love can grow very intense and, consequently,

The conceit in “The Flea” is between a flea and unrequited love in the physical aspect. The complexities of this young romance develop the speaker’s argument for a young women to sleep with him. The biting of the flea is compared to having sexual relations with the women. The speaker claims that the flea bite joins them together like sex. Thus, her preserved purity no longer exists because they now have shared the same fluids (blood) inside the flea. He compares the flea’s bite to the joining of souls such as the holy trinity. The speaker try to get the women to see how blown out of proportion her virginity really is and that not that big of a deal.

Society expects people to fall in love. That is, society expects people to find a life partner, get married, and have children. Those who do not follow the pattern are generally seen as hermits who sit in their houses with multiple forms of pets to keep them company. This burden life throws at human beings growing up, turns into a moral value. People want to find someone that makes them so happy that their heart hurts when they’re not with them. This would be the case if one does actually fall in love. Love can be a wonderful thing. However, sometimes it can be a devastatingly evil form of torture. Even though it is expected to make one feel content and comforted, love can make anyone feel more alone than ever before. Love is presumed to

In a way unrequited love is what leads to romantic love if both parties try to create a strong bond. Sometimes hormones take a huge part in these types of love. However, they also both lead to heartbreak and depression.

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.

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.

Much Ado About Nothing is a classic play written by William Shakespeare. It follows the story of a young prince, Claudio, returning home after fighting in a war. Claudio has reached his prime and is ready to settle down. However, a lot more drama than necessary takes place, and as a result we are able to exam several different types of relationships in the play. The relationships between characters sets a definition for different kinds of love. The types of love to be studied include: romantic love, love between friends, and family love. By comparing and contrasting these different kinds of love and affection we will be able to understand the working relationships between the characters better.

To begin, unrequited love is one form that is present throughout the play. One time in the play where this is demonstrated is when Romeo speaks about his feelings concerning Rosaline with Benvolio. Romeo states, “Why, such is love’s transgression./ Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,/ Which thou wilt propagate, have it prest/ With more of thine. This love that thou hast shown/ Doth add more grief to too much of mine own” (I, I, 183-186). This quote shows that Romeo loves Rosaline but, he is sad because she does not love him. Since this love is only one way, it shows unrequited love. Another example of unrequited love is when Paris approaches Capulet in hopes of marrying Juliet. Paris inquires, “But now, my lord, what say you to my suit” (I, II, 6). But, Capulet counters, “But saying o’er what I have said before:/ My child is yet a stranger to the world;/ She hath not seen the change of fourteen years./ Let two more summers wither in their pride,/ Ere we may think he ripe to be a bride” (I, II, 7-11). This shows that Paris loves Juliet and wants her to be his bride. But, the love would only be one way because the marriage would be arranged. One last moment where unrequited love is shown is after Romeo and Juliet get married. Romeo walks down the street and runs into Tybalt. Romeo says he loves Tybalt but, what Tybalt does not know is that they are now family. Romeo declares, “Tybalt, the reason I have to love thee/ Doth much excuse the appertaining rage/ To such a greeting. Villain am I none;/ Therefore farewell; I see thou know’st me not” (III, I, 61-64). Tybalt then replies, “Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries/ That thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw” (III, I, 65-66). This shows that Tybalt does does not

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,

"In a perfect world, when he's with her, he would be wishing he was with me; when he looked at her, he would be looking at me; when he smiled at her, his smile would be for me; when he thought about someone, he would be thinking about me. In a perfect world, he would realize that I'm the one he was supposed to be with & I would still be standing here waiting for him still when he finally knows this. But this isn't a perfect world and people do get hurt. Because how can you give your dreams to someone else, yet share your dreams with me? Sometimes the truest love is the love that can never be"

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.

We all wish to have that magical moment a moment that just leaves you in awe and feelings that are indescribable. A couple of seconds that your heart just beats faster and faster and there’s no stopping the excitement, the happiness, the butterflies. Sounds like it was just taken out of a love song, right? Truth of the matter is that love songs influence young culture on how love should feel and create this stereotype that love is nothing but a moment filled with passion and desires. But reality is that’s not always the case and these songs set up unrealistic measures such as, a passionate moment or falling in love solely on physical attraction; and if you don’t achieve that moment or are not attracted in that instant then you’re not in
