    Here is a question for the more experienced: Do you think that love has something to do with respect? Can love exist without respect for the other person?
    How many people do you think respect their "loves" - respect their thoughts, personality, individuality etc.?

    Also:
    Don't you think love is based on sexual attraction?
    Although you can hear of people loving their best friends...
    What is sexual love different from the love to your (original) family members?

    One more thing about love: Love makes you weak - at least weak to another person. You are more prone to lies and deception.. I wouldn't like get to Freudian here, but maybe the attraction kind of love that TruthSeeker proposed is related to mother/father love. You expected your parents to protect you when you were an infant - you were allowed to be weak. To be weak is easy, our laziness instict certainly prefers it... Maybe that is why we long for love so much. (Just theorizing)
    I had a similar feeling to Truthseeker late love.. That is surely terrible, I wasn't able to have fun at all.. I recently "recovered"

    I feel like I was dead for the last 3 months.
    I doubt if I have loved her at all - I didn't knew her that well. Surely love has to be something more than just sexual attraction.

    I would say my ideal kind of love: not necesseraly wanting to be with another person, but another person being your reason to live, your motivation, your ideal (?). Still that seems just an excuse for being weak..

    Another question: What would your love be based on?

    Tyler,

    Love- peaceful attraction
    love- strong attraction
    ...
    As I said, Love creates peace, while love destroys it...:bugeye:

    Bebelina gave a great definition...

    And you know when you Love someone when you like to just be with that person, without any attachment...

    Right... so what's your point?

    Right...

    Yes... so what's wrong...?


    ndrs,

    Love begins with the respect and Love of yourself. If you don't respect yourself, anyone else will. But, yes, Love has lots to do with respect. love can exist without respect but Love can't. It's not very common to respect their thoughts, personality, etc... that's love. Love can't exist withou respect.

    love sometimes is. Love is pure. You don't Love only a boyfriend/girlfriend. Love is impersional. It's easy to distinguish Love from love, just look to your pet (if you have one). How do you Love your pet? Do you respect your pet? Do you Love it unconditionally? Most people do... eventhough some can't even Love their own pets...

    In Love there's no sexual attraction in the sense we know. There's sexual interaction but there's no attachment/need.

    You don't know the difference...?

    love does. Love doesn't. love is based on needs. The strongest provide the "drug", the weakest uses it and is submissed to the strongest. The strong control the weak. In ths sense there is weakness, but this weakeness begin with your low self-esteem. That's why important to Love yourself, because then, you won't accept being abused by another person.

    Sometimes both are very strong and each one tries to control the other. The result is a war of control.

    In a Love relationship both are strong and grow together. Each one controls his/her own part. They only want to have fun, that's all. They don't need each other. They are together just to have fun.

    This IS this kind of Love...

    But we want to Love everyone on this way!

    And it's not attraction, it just IS...

    No. That's very attached. You can't depend on another person unless you want to suffer...

    Self-acception.

    Love,
    Nelson

    Love....

    That is NOT love, Adam! That is mere physical pleasure! That is a demonic snare!

    That goes for all of you!

    FoxMulder, dude, you really need to get laid. I suggest you go find this "vampire" girl of yours, Zoe, and just get your brains shagged out for a few days. Guaranteed to cure all.

    Please, dear Cthulhu, don't tell me that he'll be saying that apple pie is demonic now....

    Sorry dude. That really sucks.

    All:

    I've defined 'love'. If a person makes me feel the way this car does, that is love.

    Romantic love, at least.

    Love...

    Asguard:
    I wouldn't know anything about that.

    Xev:
    Apple pie IS demonic, when used for that purpose!

    It seems like every time I meet a nice girl, "They" get in the way.

    Love is not a car, Xev.

    Foxy: "I wouldn't know anything about that. "

    Really? You go on about 'demonic bondage' so much, I had figured....

    "Apple pie IS demonic, when used for that purpose!"

    Oh no. First pizza, now apple pie, IS ANYTHING SAFE?! Oh the horror!

    "It seems like every time I meet a nice girl, "They" get in the way."

    Damn, I know the feeling. Every time I meet a man, he's either gay, married, or posessed by evil demons.

    "Love is not a car, Xev."

    Miatas are groovy. Way superior to love.

    Xev...

    Demon pizza is evil. Demon pie is evil. Demons are evil.

    I know.

    Cars are just physical things.

    "Demon pizza is evil. Demon pie is evil. Demons are evil."

    Made with real, Michigan demon apples?

    Whatever. I'm going to bed.

    "I know. "

    Life sucks, don't it?

    "Cars are just physical things."

    So is love. Just the release of neurochemicals.

    Cars last longer, and they don't do weird, emotional things. Your car may break down, but it will never sleep with your best friend.

    I feel the same way about computers. Okay, so if a man or woman makes you feel the way this Cray does, you know you are in love.

    Demon apples....

    Xev:
    Does it really matter what state they are from?

    Not really. Life is good with Jesus!

    That is a very nice computer. Some day I will have to tell you about the development of the Cray, and how Microsoft is controlled by evil forces.

    Do you think it is a coincidence that, when you put 'Bill Gates' into ASCII, it comes out '666'?

    Do you think it is a coincidence that 'Windows 95' comes out '666'?

    Do you think it is a coincidence that the Bible predicts that the Beast will control the world? And Microsoft is monopolizing the software industry! Look how everything must be 'Windows compatable'!

    Do you have excel 95? Do this:

    Open a new file
    Scroll down to row 95
    Click on the row 95 button to highlight the entire row
    Press tab to move to the second column
    Now, move your mouse and click on help at the top
    Then click on "about Microsoft excel"
    Press ctrl-alt-shift and click on the tech support button at the same time.

    A window will appear with the title - THE HALL OF TORTURED SOULS.

    This is real! Many people have done it!

    "Does it really matter what state they are from?"

    *Shrugs*

    Michigan grows the best apples, and I live in Michigan.

    "Not really. Life is good with Jesus!"

    Not really. I still rue the day I invited him to crash on my couch.

    "That is a very nice computer. Some day I will have to tell you about the development of the Cray, and how Microsoft is controlled by evil forces."

    YES! Finally, we agree on somthing! M$ is evil.

    So, tell us, is Internet Exploiter the result of demons? Is Windoze satanic?

    Bebelina, don't go encouraging him, now. He'll start ranting about "demon jelly doughnuts" or somthing.

    Sorry to interupt, but I have a question that was posed on another thread (or was it this one?). Can a person that absolutely hates themself love another? I feel the answer is yes, a person that personifies self-hatred can more easily give all of themself in love for another and could better appreciate that person being in their life than others could.

    P.S. - This is kinda about me, but I've sorted things out with myself as of late, I wouldn't sat I personify it any more

    Cactus,

    No. It's impossible. You need first to Love yourself. That's because the other is a mirror of you. When you are with other person, the other person mirrors you. So, if you hate yourself, it will be very hard to be with someone...

    Btw... thanks for bringing the subject back. I'm getting sick with this subject about Demon Pizza and Demon Apple Pie...

    Nelson's pickin' up the lingo.


    "So, if you hate yourself, it will be very hard to be with someone..."

    Nelsons right (oh my god.....did I just say that?), but he didnt answer your question. It is indeed damn near impossible to be involved with someone when you hate yourself. But you can definetly fall in love.

    Disagree. You hate yourself, your love for the other is more intense.

    Don't forget demonic bondage, vampires and athiestic sluts!
