The Meaning Of True Love - From Emotions To Actions... Post Your Interpretation =)

Robot Seb
Robot Seb: Many say love is a bond 2 people share. Some say it's an emotion one has towards another person. A few consider it nothing more than a few chemical imbalances within our brains. Each of these things have meaning but what does love mean to you?

To me, it can be best described by these 3 statements based the 3 distinct situations we find ourselves in throughout life that are associated with love which are the "before", "during", and "after" periods in which a bond exists between any 2 people but all add up to my interpretation of what the meaning of "true love" really is.


- Before you find "love" -

"You can try to find love but true love cannot be found as it will find you."

Given enough time, this statement is true because you grow to love people more and more and in time may realize it's those moments spent together that can form into something that nothing else can compare with...


- During the period while in "love" -

"True love means the ability to willingly sacrifice everything without hesitation to obtain those things that the one you love's heart desires, even if their desire is for another one's heart. Sometimes we have to sacrifice our own happiness in order to give them their happiness and do it with a smile even though we cry on the inside, but it has to be done or it's not true love"

That pretty much speaks for itself. There are times when you have to be ready to sacrifice everything for love, this includes sacrificing happiness.


- After the period when "love" has passed -

"Nobody ever knows the true meaning of love until they've gone through the pain of losing it..."

Simply put, we never know how valuable something is until it's gone and in those times are when you learn the most about it and even learn how much those things really meant to us. It's something we all have to go through and can't escape.


All 3 of these situations are the meaning of what "true love" really is and is why it can't be defined by just by saying it alone. Words are simply words until someone comes along and gives those words meaning.

halfapintdoll: Ok, so I have had a real life breathing boyfriend for 2 years this April.
There was the initial 'always shagging phase' - I think that's called lust or the 'honeymoon phase'.

Now we're just cruising along nicely, we still like each other's company and we have a very similar sense of humour. In fact we are planning to move in together this summer.
However we have never said the love word to one another. There is no mush or hearts and flowers. His pet name for me is bumstain for goodness sake.

Now because we're not all mushy and "I love you baby" all over the place, does this mean we don't love one another?!. I am a firm believer that these bonds are created and strengthened over time. I have never been a great believer in epic romantic rip your heart out love, it's never really appealed to me and in fact it makes me feel uncomfortable. He spent Christmas time putting on my socks and pants (while calling me a flipper baby ), lifting me out of chairs and out of bed and doing my housework. If that's not love ....

Robot Seb: Haha awww that's epically sweet of him Halfy! There is definitely love there but more importantly, there is an equilibrium, a balance reached where the communication between both you and him have brought you together. Passion in the early stages will always fizzle out over time but it is generally replaced with comfort as in you become more and more comfortable with one another.

As long as there's that, there is love whether spoken of or not.

Robot Seb: That's a great perspective on it Flash, it does indeed happen by chance, requires effort, and ends by choice mostly. Only time will tell how strong a bond is.

LOL Miss A, I'm the type that would not only share the last piece of cheesecake, I'd make / buy more long before then.

FlashW: Thank you very much for your comment

About three stages... yes, maybe they are like that for most of us.
I do not think that people have to sacrifice because in love they just need to say the truth to each other - if you do not like something to do or you do not think the same way just say it. If people do not desire `to adjust` to each other, if they can not accept the shortcomings and differences of the partner that means there is no love. I would not be happy if my partner sacrifices something only to make me happy (btw i do not sacrifice). Sacrifices are not endless. But if people love so much their partner as their second `me`, notwithstanding and in despite of , they could overcome all thorns (or whatever) on the path of love life.
About the third stage ... could we be tired of loving? I think that the things that could break a relationship are life goals of partners. And love disappears when you have sacrificed so long and so much that you are losing your personality.
After all the matter is whether you can love or not.
What is love? Love is giving, sharing, supporting, harmony, unity of souls (for the last two - at least to reach them one day) .
