You definitely have different perceptions of it the older you get. I was talking to one of my kids that I worked with this summer, and apparently, she had a climatic moment today in her relationship with this other kid. She's had a huge crush on him for forever, and today, he finally spoke to her. lol. As she put it, her dreams have come true. She's in 8th grade btw.

I can remember when stuff like that was just the highlight of my day...the cute boy that you like saying hi or just giving you a smile. It was much easier than this whole relationship thing that we try to do as adults. It didn't take much to keep us happy back then. Now though, we put all kinds of conditions on it. We have more physical and emotional needs. A simple "he talked to me" just doesn't cut it anymore. It'd kinda be nice if it did though.

OK, that's my philosophical musing for today. Carry on.

Correct. As we get older we tend to look at the bigger picture. The older we get the bigger IT gets.

Is`nt that outside the box? lol

I'm afraid I have to say that the bigger it gets, the scarier it gets too.

Correct again. 2 for 2

Sometimes the bigger it gets the more dpressing it becomes, because reality hits. lol sometimes

The secret to success is looking at the bigger picture from a younger age. but it`s OH SO HARD.

Reality already hit. Pretty hard too I might add.

You're incorrigible. And why are you on that username?

while i was overseas, i didn't access my account. After 3 weeks of inactivity, they de-activate your account. I have to go plat to get it back.
 
Love? What is that? I vaguely remember something about it. Seems it was mostly an illusion based on certain conditions and circumstances being met.
 
Thats why I date teens. If I do the simplest gestures they really appreciate it. LOL

Love is the ability to care for someone and wish good unto them.

This can be your dad, your brother, your friend, your girlfriend, and even a stranger in need.

There's varying degrees of Love, Jesus being the paradigm of love of course.

So anyway, what's the difference between loving your dad and loving your girlfriend? None.

The difference is two-fold:

1. How much you care for that person.

2. The hormonal system in us that kicks in and masquerades as love, when what we really feel is a need for the opposite sex to stabilize the chemicals in our body. Basically nature tricking us into reproducing.

Of course, the latter is far more likely to kick in with a girlfriend than with a parent.

Love doesn't change. You (we) do.

Depending on where we are in life, it affects our perceptions of it.

Living and learning you are.

LOL. I hope noone is thinking of boning one of their parents.
 
I don't like all the games people have to play each other. People should just stop being so warped by what society dictates and start being more real.

But first, you have to figure out what is real. Sometimes, we are so focused on what society dictates and what we've always been told that we can't see what is really there.
 
Some ZEN : Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.....
 
i wish people would not get controlling and possesive with love. why does it have to be so serious and complicated? if people would just chill and let it happen then maybe it would work. like if i don't let go of my other call when you beep in then i don't love you :rolleyes: still pissed about that. if you love someone then you shouldn't try to control them or make them give up things for you :mad:

Trust me, you have no clue how true that can be.

I think the word "love" carries much more meaning that that. Specifically, it caries many assumptions:
1. People don't have a price.
2. Monogamy is the only real way.
3. Some illusions are defacto truths.
probably more...

"love"(not simply the idea of relationships) is a social phenomenon among humans.

In my opinion your post describes lust and concern.
 
Ya know, love is a happy time, all throughout the universe.

It's when the male part of the species goes to the female part of the species and says, "You wanna go on a date?" And then she says, "Well, yes, I'd like to go on a date." If you're lucky!

Then they go to a restraunt, and she orders something called a salad. And he gets a big piece of beef, that he eats.

And that, to me, ladies and gentlemen, is love. Kinda makes you cry.

Nothing says love more than a cheap woman...Right Project?:)
 
8th grade love. Sweaty palms, butterflies in the stomach, not knowing what to say, rejection....aaahhh those were the days.

For most it seems, they cannot love someone else only love how they feel. They call love a state of feeling created by someone else. If someone else makes them feel good , they are in love. When that good feeling is gone, so is love.

i.e. A guy asks a girl on a date and showers attention on her - this feels good and makes her feel good because she is getting attention. As long as she feels good she is in love. She in reality does not love him but loves how he makes her feel. She is not in love with him, but in love with feeling good.

I have never experienced romantic love - or rather a situation in which I loved a girl and she loved me back. I have had strong feelongs for girls never returned, and had girls who apparently had strong feelings for me that I did not feel in return - but never mutually at the same time. I am not sure romantic love even exists - but rather people make you feel good about yourself so you think you love them, when you only love feeling good.

The only love I have experienced in my life is for my kids. I love them, would sacrifice for them even if they make me feel bad - tell me they hate me (which they have) , vomit on me, pee on my clothes, poop on my hand, make me tired, make me poor. I have never known a girl who could do these things to me and I would still have good feelings for her. If a girl vomited on me, told me she hated me, made me tired and poor - I would have nothing good to feel towards her.

In my world romantic love does not exist - only the love a parent feels for a child.

Altruistic love, such as I have for my kids, does not require anything 2 way - they can hate me and I still love them - not love how they make me feel but love them.

Romantic love is 2 way. I loved the mom.

I always heard the first part of this when I was growing up. Basically, no matter what your family did to you, you had to love them anyway because they were your family. You didn't have to like them, but you had to love them.
 
Love is just like anything else. Just look at drugs for an example. The First time you get high you may love it, sometimes you have good highs sometimes you have bad. Experience it enough and it becomes boring and you want to try new drugs or none at all, just like everything in life. When you’re young you have new and exciting things to experience, love being one of them, once we try it and get our hearts ripped out, and rip a few out ourselves it becomes boring, nothing new to experience. the difference between the two is that drugs are easier to find than love, and they will never leave you or tell you no:D j/k

I'll admit that you definitely have a point in saying that drugs are easier to find. Sometimes, people look all their lives and can't find that love that they think they are meant to have.

It could be worse. I could be hugging Al Gore. AGAIN.

There's definitely something in the air. I'm just necessarily sure of its effects on people, me included.
