What *is* love?
I don't think love is a feeling but rather a concept. The feeling of "Loving someone" is confusing to me, and I can't describe nor do I know what it really means
Sure the butterflies in your stomach may make you believe that you love someone but that feeling typically dies off and Sometimes resurges. That just means you like someone, not love
It annoys me how fast couples say "I love you" in a relationship. How? You've known this person for what, like 2 months? Will you still be by their side if they say or do something that hurts you? I feel like you have to go through shit with someone to say "I love you". Even in non-romantic ways.
No offense to people who have done this though, I just want to spark discussion
So I guess my question is, "What is Love? What does a loving relationship look like? What is the difference between a romantic and platonic love? Should there be a difference?"

2 AntwortenBearbeitet von ElementNinja: 2/27/2020 5:57:51 PMLove is commitment, plain and simple. True love is unconditional commitment. A choice, regardless of subjective feeling or circumstance. This is what the foundation of all types of love is based upon. Platonic, romantic, parental, friendly, familial, etc. I think you’re Christian, if I remember right. God/Christ demonstrates this at its peak throughout the Bible. Serving others, being willing to get down onto someone’s level to serve them, laying your life down for others. Edit: I’d like to add what Xronad mentioned: self-sacrifice. You can be committed to someone, but that degree of commitment could be shallow or deep. Self-sacrifice is self-sacrifice... I don’t think you can really half-ass that. Couple that with enduring commitment and you’ve got a pretty accurate definition of what love is. Commitment that is self-sacrificing. But, also! To love is to know. You cannot love someone unless you know them. You can be infatuated with their appearance, their existence, what you know of them, with your idea of your persona of them, maybe things that they’ve done for you, but you don’t love them until you know them. So love is self-sacrificing commitment to someone that you take the time to know them, the good and the bad and contribute towards their good.

Bearbeitet von TigersFan228: 2/26/2020 8:32:05 PMI say love is an action rather than a feeling. Like you said, it’s going through stuff with people and sticking with them even if they hurt you. Being willing to forgive them and help them be better, even if they don’t like how they do it. Pushing them. Maybe live can be a feeling, I don’t know what it feels like though. Maybe it’s wanting to do what I stated previously with a person. But I don’t know. I think Cobra put it excellently though.

Love is a constant choice, and just because sometimes you dont choose it means youre evil or malevolent, just means you need to apologize or(depending on belief and circumstance) "Repent".

Love is an electro-chemical reaction in your brain based on your basic primal instinct to biologically reproduce. Anybody who says different is blowing smoke up your posterior.

23 AntwortenBearbeitet von Cozyman Cam: 2/27/2020 12:00:38 AMOn my commute into work the other morning, I started thinking about the materialist's explanation for love. They explain it as certain chemical reactions occurring in the brain. If this brain chemisty is the cause of love, then it would be possible to fabricate love within an individual. Such fabrication is, by definition, fantastic. Love potions are objects of fantasy fiction. Amusingly, materialists could reasonably believe that such potions can exist. I assume most would initially ridicule the thought, even be offended at such an assertion. I do agree that it is a ridiculous idea, although I don't agree because love potions are fantasy. I agree because brain chemistry is not the cause of love. Love is the cause of the brain chemistry. It is much more sensible to recreate certain sensations and brain activity associated with love than it is to fabricate love. I'm sure most materialists would agree with the previous statement. There are no fantastic potions or magical spells necessary; only biochemical manipulation. The materialist has it backwards. They observe the effect and call it the cause. It seems as though there are a lot of things that are backwards, upside down, flipped. The correct pieces are there, they're just in the wrong order. Another issue with claiming love to be caused by brain chemistry, and it's possible fabrication, is that love is no longer real. It is a fiction. Such love is, of necessity, very fιckle, always conditional. It is not at all as Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 13: [quote]"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."[/quote] For the materialist, this chapter is a lie. It must be. Love is as fιckle as brain chemistry, and just as easily manipulated. It can even be fabricated. Unconditional love is a fantasy. Why? How can this be reconciled as a spouse, as a parent, as a child, as a sibling, as a friend? I am incapable of doing so. For myself, it is the same as trying to reconcile 1+1=2 and 1+1=3 while 2≠3. It cannot be done.

18 AntwortenWhat is love? Love is wanting to move to the country & have a house with property, but putting that dream aside so that your wife & kids can have a shorter commute to the good doctors they need. What is love? Saving the last slice of pie for your spouse when you really want it & you could blame it on relatives. What is love? Putting the needs of your family first. What is love? Brushing your teeth before you kiss your spouse with your nasty ass morning breath. Love is about self sacrifice & being there for those who need you, especially when you want to do the absolute opposite & that love is returned when you know they would never ask you to do the those things, which makes you all the more willing to make those sacrifices.

I view true love as unselfish caring for another. This manifests itself in actions, in which you do beneficial things for the person you love without any perceived personal gain, or even with perceived personal loss.

Love is an Action not an emotion.(so ive been told) The emotion is the result of the action.... Emotional attachment is based on a "bank account" concept that is in all living things. When its full... Strong attachment and pleasure. Empty.... Pain. People are inherently takers of love and responders or horders.
