Does true love exist in this world?

Question

its probably been asked a million times but i want to ask it in a different context. Does love as an emotion, purely an emotion, regardless of lust, exist in the world? i mean you read about all these couples in novels that love each other (Elizabeth Bennet and Mr.Darcy for example) and you start to wonder do people love each other anymore? Are there people who can love purely? who can love a personality and a soul and ignore the physical love?

Answer 1

There's nothing pure, even the emotions are messed up centralization of self-pity, self-confusion & in short- "SELF"!

Answer 2

you are on a proper downer about love aren't you

give yourself a shake

then pop round to see you gran and grandad their physical deterioration coupled with undeniable love will prove to you love exists beyond the physical.

a lot of perfect-love seeking high quality individuals  cloud the issue due to quality people not finding love these days, but that is perfection form the start and that is a unlikely as a person needing a transplant  finding a perfect match donor amongst thier acquaintances

Answer 3

I don't think people analyze this feeling anymore. They put a face, body and amount to love. Its horrible how society has lost its morals. I personally believe in true love. But my psychologist says that "we cannot live in a fantasy world, life is not perfect". But I know that somewhere out there a soul is waiting for me. I am married with four children, but deep inside my heart there is no love for my husband anymore. I don't even have s*x with him. He worked so hard in destroying my love I had for him, that it's impossible to love again after so many heartbreaks. He tells me that I hallucinate, and that I expect a prince to come and take me away. But I know that deep inside my heart, I will find that someone along the path of my life. I don't mean it as an affair. No, there is no need to hurt others along the way. I think that God gave each and everyone of us potential to love with all our hearts. It is men that don't use their brain to know the difference between heart and body. They can't love if they don't see a good body. Women are falling for this too. Everywhere I go or meet someone new, someone has an affair. I mean it is so SAAAAAD. Why are we loosing our moral values. I don't think I'll ever be able to cheat on my husband, but he did cheat on me. But still under this circumstance I was able to keep love for myself intact. He lost the love I had for him, but somewhere in the universe, I know, there's a man who will be the one who will be capable of loving me back the same way I do. Love is an emotion that purifies the heart. It makes us give the best of ourself to the one we love. Love is not a necessity. When you love someone, the emotions for each other is greater than the need for each other, economically or physically.

Answer 7

Pure love , as a feeling or as an emotion  has always existed . Always .The reason why we are  able to see that much is due to the fact that over a period of time  the same pure love tended to dilute and  change. But that does not take awy the fact that there existed pure love

Some pure lovers ( there are many stories) lived only a short time and thus in history books they got recorded. If these same lovers had lived together for another 20 years they would have diluted their love certainly.

In many parts  of the world ( India) pure love have been recored to exist between humans and their deep love for their God.

Answer 8

i do.and i mean it.  

Answer 9

Yeah I believe that it does exist. A little over 20 years ago I fell crashing to earth in love with this girl. Thing was she was terminal. My only physical contact with her was when I held her hand or kissed her cheek hello or goodbye. I loved her spirit, her soul, and her goodness. Yes they are three separate things. She taught me how to love without the sexual part. Physical love is easy. You can pay some girl 20 bucks and get 15 min worth of love. But to love from the heart is when you really love.

Answer 10

One of the factors to determine true love is the duration of a relationship.  The grandfathers and grandmothers of the world who remain happily married for 60-70 yrs are good examples of such love.

It takes two compatible, tolerant, forgiving and sensible souls to love each other inspite of the ups and downs of a marriage. Each will have certain weird habits,  disgusting mannerisms or other forms of weaknesses.  Therefore lots of tolerance, respect and consideration for each other must be shown. They also make good role models for their children and grand-children.

Alas,the perfect true love is often like the strike of a lottery and one should not waste one's whole life in  trying to find it! To tolerate in stoic fashion with an existing  love, is the height of exhibiting 'true love' itself. It would be a terribly messed-up society if every couple seeks divorce to find an ultimate, true love.

Answer 11

thankyou for asking this, you've helped me feel a little less alone. personally for me, it does exist. i love someone dearly who i can't be with, and it makes me very sad think that no-one can love her the way i do, free from the boundaries of lust away from physical attraction. please don't lose this ideal. there are'nt to many people that can understand something like this.
