When falling in love, we take a chance. We are blocking out the fact that in the end, we could possibly get hurt. But with love, an extraordinary thing could also happen to us. We could meet the person who we will spend the rest of our life with.…
Love is a very complex emotion. People everywhere search for it, but some never find love. It is a very coveted thing. Many are willing to do whatever it takes in order to obtain it. In the end, love is said to bring true happiness. If finding love really brings true happiness, it sounds like a lot of unhappiness to get through.…
This statement was another that stood out to me because it is so true. We enjoy watching love movies because they show us this fairytale of how this guy and girl fall in love with each other, then they go through this breakup, get back together, and in the end love conquers all. For many of us, this is furthest from the truth, but it only feeds our desire to obtain love. Other than our natural instinct on what love is and the want to receive it, we do not know much about it.…
Love is not just one feeling that you can explain. It is multiple feelings acting together for someone else that all make up the word love. You can care for something but not fear anything happening to it. You can like your neighbor, but if something happened to him, you would…
Growing up, there was a fascination about finding the perfect soul mate. To me, love was represented in different times in my life, it went from being a kid, and cartoons saying that one day prince charming will find you. To teen years of "The Breakfast club," saying that you will find love in the same surrounding and it will be distinct and interesting. To an adult and "Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind," telling you that your lives will cross paths and love will be so hurtful, one day you will want to completely erase the memories from your mind. They all play out various situations that can be true to different people, but slowly I believe we all come to a realization that in reality, good relationships are hard to come across by, and even when…

Ackerman states that we are inhibited about love. She calls love the great intangible and it disorients us. The way she describes why we are so embarrassed by and try to repulse talking about love is inspired. The reason is somewhat subtle and could be considered a cliche. The reason we succumb to trying to avoid this word is because we don't want to feel the immense anguish of being vulnerable.…
Love is an incredibly powerful word. But what exactly is love? According to Webster, Love is “strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties” or “warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion.” But is something so overwhelming really as simple as these definitions make it appear to be? No, love is an extremely complex word that can’t be summed up into a few short sentences. Though love isn’t effortless, “true” love is gained by practicing numerous virtues that include trust, commitment, and compromise.…
What is True love? People, including myself, have many different opinions on the answer to that very question. The formal definition states that love is; intense affection, a feeling of attraction resulting from sexual desire, and enthusiasm or fondness.

In my opinion, love may be the most powerful thing a person will ever come across.…

Although love is something that plays a huge role in the lives of almost everyone, some philosophers have simply given up on their studies, or felt it just wasn’t very meaningful to study at all, and decided to leave it in “the realm of the ineffable.”…
True love in the Western world - to borrow Denis de Rougemont's useful term - has come to mean, in the popular imagination, many different things. It is something that is pure and innocent, utter faithful and never questionable, perfect and unchanging - an elementary part of our human lives that posses such tangible strength, it can conquer all'. Yet, if true love is really what literature and visual media portray it to be, this instant and permanent, indescribable emotional connection between two people, why does it so often end in tragedy and why do we see so many divorces? If true love is all what Perrault's narrative…
