"Falling in love requires a leap of faith and a soft landing isn't guaranteed."
"Love is like a needle. You can't feel it enter, but you know its there. You feel the pain, then it subsides. You don't feel it leave, and its unbearable after."
The famous..."I love so much it hurts."
Two things that all these quotes have in common are:
1. Overused by people ages 12-16, maybe older on Facebook
2. It's total...GARBAGE.
These uses of "love" are completely misleading to what love actually is. People have a very skewed image of what love actually is. Having said this, keep in mind I'm talking about love for a human being and not the love that our Father gives us (ill make a point later). But anyways, why associate love with pain?! That's absolutely ridiculous if you ask me. Love doesn't cause pain, but INSTEAD hurting people cause pain.
The million dollar question is, what is love? I can tell you what I think it is and it might not be right, but I do know that I know what love IS NOT. Love can't hurt. When people say "its hurts me to love them" they have a very skewed idea and theyre putting those words together all wrong. It hurts because of lies, just plain douchebag behavior, ugly words/names, violence, and whatever is actually the cause of the downfall in the relationship. Love brings people together and love is what overcomes all those nasty things NOT cause them.
Think chemistry equations.
Love -> 6joy + 4delight + 2comfort + 3peace
Giggles, I just made those numbers up.
Lies + cheating + violence + 2asshole activity -> 2broken hearts + hurt
Have I been in love? Yes. I'm in love with God and I love my boyfriend. Have I been hurt? More than I want to count.
With my love for God will give you a clear picture. I LOVE my Lord. I will proclaim it loud and proud. He makes me who I am. But when I sin and fall into Satan's temptations, He probably isn't too happy. But I TRY (keyword) not to do any of that because I love Him, its like I have to forget that He loves me to do that. BUT I repent because I love him. Love is strong and overcomes!
My boyfriend and I have been together a few months now and recently we've been telling each other we love each other because I truly believe we do. He makes me stronger, happier, friendlier, and just uplifts me every second. I think that's what love is about. Thank goodness that we haven't gotten into any huge arguments and I don't think we will because we care about each other too much. We have each other in mind. When you have something in mind, its hard to act contrary unless you have a pile of rocks for a conscience.
Quit giving love a bad name! Love never hurt anybody.
My attempt at wisdom:
A PART of this thing we call love is cheering someone on. - MSK
