Question

When you love somebody do you set them free ?

Answer 1

But of course...though I don't feel content in doing so. To suffer is love though, right?

Answer 2

no, they are not free they have responsibility's.

Answer 3

No. when you love someone, they are not free. If they love you then they will always be tied to you and if you do't then they will still feel responsible for you. But then again it depends on what you mean by free

Answer 4

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

The world has such a misconstrued view on the meaning of love in the first place. Love is often confused with lust. Love gives without any expectation of receiving anything in return. Lust has selfish motives, even if there is some sort of giving involved... the motive is still about self.

Also, true love has nothing to do with physical intimacy between two human beings. A simple act of love could very well be to hold the door open for someone in a wheel chair. It would be considered an act of kindness with a pure motive to help someone in need, without expecting any sort of prize or recognition.

So you tell me. When you refuse to set someone free, what is the motive behind your decision? Is it really love or is there some kind of selfish desire?

You can suffer without loving. But you cannot love without suffering.

Answer 8

No.....  You fight like h**l to keep them....

Answer 9

I think you set loved ones free.  If you don't, then it's not love.  It's possession, and that comes from one's own insecurities.
