Answer 5

Genuine love is wonderful and probably not limited to humans but is probably only contemplated by humans.

A dependency upon someone or a relationship has nothing to do with genuine affection but is a condition wherein the personality of the one has a need satisfied, in some way, by the relationship. This is a psychological condition, not love or affection.

So, dependency is an undesirable condition and therefore, a weakness. Thankfully, it is almost always...curable.

Answer 6

I believe it could be both.

Answer 7

Love supreme power of the heart,

mysterious enthusiasm that encloses itself

in all poetry, all heroism, all religion..

Answer 8

Love is too broad of a topic to label it so simply. I think there are many types of love that give humanity great strength. Altruism and kindness are necessities to our society.

However, romantic love definitely has its downsides.

A strength, we could not survive without it.

Answer 10

Un-Conditional Love is purely Human. Without it we would not have made it this far.

Answer 11

Love is human weakness and human strength. He transform his weakness by using love and turned this as his human strength to overcome the fear in his mind and emotions. It is the love that humans capitalizes to do better. However, love can also be a human weakness that let him surrender when he fails. On the other hand, the love when he triuphs will bring him success in life.

Answer 16

Good question!

Love is God's  'strength' for us.  It is His way of bending and molding us to do His will.  It is also that which humbles us toward each other.  In this way, it is a weakness, as well.

It is this, that binds us and holds us together, through thick and thin.  Without it, we would quite literally, fall apart!  It is vitally necessary to sustain all of life ,                                    So, it is both.  It is human nature to be weak and it is also God's strength; Love.

Answer 17

Answer 20

From a secular viewpoint; it probably serves an evolutionary purpose in the same way a peacock's extravagant tail serves a purpose-- that is, because it disadvantages the peacock (as it makes movement harder, uses nutrients and other resources and attracts predators), only healthy and strong peacocks can "afford" to have such a tail; and so it is a sign of power and attracts female peacocks (which leads to the propagation of the trait through the population).

This might be analogous to love, which may have developed as a "weakness" to show another that we are genuine. By sacrificing certain aspects of strength, volition and reason; we are able to prove that we are genuine-- and perhaps trust-worthy mates, especially as a human female is vulnerable during the relatively long gestation and childhood periods. This would work in the same way as guilt, where a "weakness" has been evolutionarily selected in order to prove to others that we are genuine and therefore make us more successful through better social relationships and contracts.

On the other hand, if you believe in God, then you would probably believe that it is a concept/feeling/phenomenon created by Him (and perfectly embodied in Him, as opposed to imperfect and often selfish manifestations in humans). If this was the case, then the evolutionary explanation would be less relevant and love (as opposed to lust) would a result of humanity being in the image of God.

Answer 21

Answer 24

I dislike these duality questions.  the answer is always both, and then people give there personal reasons for thinking one is more true than the other, when in fact it is just a variable based upon factors of the situation and there subsequent interactions ( referring to love life's )

Answer 25

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

Answer 26

Love is likened or compared to wine and wealth. He who masters these intoxicants and vestibules of temporal ascension perceives the same as playthings at his disposal for the benefit of relaxation and pleasant pastime.

For unarisen souls with slavish and ardent desire thereof they are wicked and illicit trappings engineered by the debased to lead astray the innocent.

Love is a liberating power when understood as a Science. It is the ability to find good and redeeming virtue undiscerned by the unloving. Love is also a chemical reaction itself requiring a calling or inspiration to be awakened or aroused. The strong are able to love with a detached mind, and purely for the sake of love than a need to acquire or possess.

It becomes a weakness when pursued without reason or logic by the needful or devoid of spirit. Blinded by want man creates his own h**l by the casting of his love upon barren or wreckless ground, without attention to the weakness thereof or consideration to all surrounding factors of the object of his love.

I could write paragraphs and reams on the subject of love and its power to inspire, rouse, motivate and cleanse the spirits of all it touches.

Answer 27

Wow...

sounds like the kind of question you'd hear coming from a comic book super villain! not a normal person!

but seriously though, I don't see how the single greatest human quality, which has accomplished basically every single good thing about the history of our enrire race could be seen as a weakness!? i would really appreciate it if you could add on some additional info as to why you would think it possible for love to be a weakness.

Answer 28

Love could be both a weakness and strength

but i think Fear can be the strongest emotion .

Answer 29

Love to me is Human Strength. Why do you think we fall in Love, with the Person who we choose to be our Mate, untill God us do Part.

There is no weakness in what you believe is Love, My Husband and I, have been Married for 50 years, and we Love each other a lot.
