Yep. One as in you & you alone. The way you've initially put it, love sounds like chemistry.

Perhaps Fromm's definition may not be the stuff of greeting cards or Harlequin novels, but it certainly does coincide with the view of Western philosophy and the great world religions.

It's the best feeling in the world when you share it with someone.
It's the most lonely thing in the world when you give it to someone without it being returned.
It's pretty good for your ego when several people love you.
However, the darkest thing is that it's the most painful thing in the world when it is taken away from you. In all situations.

"You don't love because, you love despite" (W. Faulkner) - that's the tricky issue.
Too many people break up over nothing, let their flaws ruin their relationship (or do something utterly wrong to ruin it), too many people treat love superficially, too many people mistake love for sex...etc.
I am however glad when friends of mine manage to pull a beautiful "love story" - and wish them to never change that (like my best friend, who will deeply shock me if ever breaking up with the girl he's with right now, that's how strong their bond looks like - like you, JayDee, having happily build a family  - like Raff & Micky, finally united for life since yesterday and having went through tough times to achieve that...and such)

Thanks man. I also agree with your second paragraph.

Real love is rare and almost impossible and it's a sacrifice. I've lost my faith in it a while ago.

Nobody can define it for anybody else. There can be as many definitions of love as there are human beings (including those uncapable of human feelings...)
It's necessary. It's beautiful when you find it, horrible when you lose it, a utopia when you can't find it, an illusion when you can't feel it.
I like it. |

True love , think for a second......... It's only available with mutual trust. Trust is hard enough to find...... The mutual makes it even more precious. I am a hopeless romantic and I can state that there is a very fine line between love and pain. Just read some of Bryan Ferry's lyrics , its all about "Heartache" and not the stomach puke kind either......

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Love is something I have yet to experience as just a teenager. I'll check back in when I think I have an idea.

Love is kind
not one bit
love is blind
love is...
from the Maestoso album Grim
Love is great and a wonderful feeling when you have it and it's very painful when you lose it. Sadly, in our reality you can't have happiness without pain. Is the good feeling worth the pain? You bet.

“Love is an expression and assertion of self-esteem,
a response to one's own values in the person of another. One gains a
profoundly personal, selfish joy from the mere existence of the person
one loves. It is one's own personal, selfish happiness that one seeks,
earns, and derives from love.”

I think love is the height of masochism.
It's painful, but I like it.
