Do you believe in love?

Question

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

Answer 1

I believe in love. But I don't believe in being IN love.

Answer 2

Love is real. In terms of romance it is lust and respect. In terms of friendship it is respect and admiration.In terms of family,especially mother and child it is ineffable. There is no way to describe this love with words.  

Answer 3

I'm currently questioning this myself. I have never been in love but I like to believe there is a chance that it exists. A friend told me that to love another person I must first love myself. Give it a try. Who knows it might work?

Answer 4

I'm not sure. I think love is a huge thing that no one can get just perfect. I do believe that is is possible to love and be loved but when you think of love it is more than just spending time with someone or physical love. Love is deep. Love is when it is only you and one other person in the whole world and you both don't care. Love is seeing someone with all there faults and loving them even more. Love takes time and if you don't give it the time then there is nothing.

Answer 5

Yes.If there is no love,then there will be no interaction.How can a male & a female be together?

Answer 6

I know that I'd like to, but I'm not sure now. I want there to be someone out there that can love and accept me for me and that I can do the same for them, but I have yet to see two people how are hopelessly in love. I haven't seen anyone who would do anything for the person they love and I think that's important. So, I'm going to live my life hoping there's love out there.

Answer 7

Yes I do.I believe in the emotional attachment that we can have for someone.To go out of our way to please them.To care for their well being.The hope of being wanted and then needed.

Answer 8

First, we would have to define love, and the definition of love is different for everybody.

Second, there are different types and stages of love.  For example, a mother's love for her baby is different than the love she feels for her husband, and the love she feels for her husband is different when she first marries him than what she feels after living with him for 20 years.

Answer 9

What is love? I believe in attraction and friendship.

Answer 10

For me, believing in love would make about as much sense as believing in the sky. I don't believe it, I KNOW it. It's different. Love is the one instinct that drives so many creatures AGAINST their survival reflexes, it's an emotion so strong - humans (and even some animals) give their lives to honor it...I know I can name several people for whom I would gladly give my life, and for that - strangely enough, I feel blessed!

Answer 11

Only between a man & a woman.

Or between a male dog and a female dog.

Or 2 goldfish ---- 1 male --- 1 female

Answer 12

Absolutely I believe in love. I wish there were only more of it in the world.

I find when you know true love, you cannot know hate.

Love, true love, seems to come with an understanding of how wonderful, special and precious others are even in their imperfections.

♥

"Love is all you need!"

Answer 13

Yes.

The only problem: love and hate are interrelated.

Answer 14

yes i believe in love.

in all stages and all kinds.

there are different ways to love someone.

but i believe in every single one.

h**l i loved my boyfriend already for thousands of years, and i can still stand him, ha ha but yes i believe in love.

Answer 15

There are different types of love. There are true love, and artificial love. Artificial love is the type where you get all dolled up for nothing, your love isn't real. True love is when you have to keep your mouth shut so your heart doesn't fall out of it. When you see them their name resounds in your head and you can't hear yourself think.

True love is hard to find.

Answer 16

...we believe in love because we share it with each other to understand and listen to each other thoughts and woes...

...even in the worst spat or silence...its the fact we recognize our mistake, and we are always apologizing and seeking forgiveness...

...its because of LOVE we share our LIVES together...

...thanks for asking..

Answer 17

I definitely believe in love on many different levels.  I think I have experienced love on different levels, and each has its place in my heart and in my life.  

I love - the unconditional love I have for my dogs.  It is such a beautiful love. It is not selfish... no matter what I do to them, or for them, every time I come home they are so excited to see me, they jump on my legs, bark up a storm, and just want me to stop and pay attention to them.  It is wonderful when they jump up on the couch and just want to cuddle while I watch tv.   I wish more romantic relationships could be this way.  

I also have experienced love of a friend, because the role they play in my life.  They are there for me 99% of the time, they offer support, a listening ear, advise, and wisdom.  I am so thankful for these friends and express my appreciation often.

And of course, I have experienced love on an emotional / romantic level.  This is the one we all crave for, and the one we are most disappointed in when it does not work out how we would like.  This is the one we put our heart and soul into, because we have that desire to be loved and share love so intimately.  In some sense of the word... it is true what they say, "It is better to have loved and lost, than to never love at all."

Last of all, I must mention my most recent experience of love. And that is SELF LOVE.  I think this is the most difficult for people to understand and act upon.  People beat themselves up because they are not where they want to be in life, or because bad things have happened to them.  People need to learn and realize that all of these experiences are molding and shaping your life for you to decide how, when, where, and what you want your life to be. If negative, or bad things never happen, you will never learn to strive for the positive, good, and exciting things.  

Plus, if you truly gain self love, it is harder for other people to beat you down, and take control of your heart or mind in those situations of love.
