Love or Money Will_777: I have seen a lot of people choose love over everything else and a lot of people who chose money over everything else. What would or did you choose and why? Would you rather be broke with love, rich without love or are you one of the lucky ones who have both in their life? PS: I mean love as in a relationship and not as having good/close friends or family.  calypso84: The only reason I get into a relationship is because I fall in love with the guy. If there's no love, there's no relationship for me. Rich without love? No way!!! Broke with love? Not too appealing either. You can't feed yourself or kids with love only Will_777: The problem with love and money is that they go hand in hand. Without love what is the point of having money - it may be able to keep you happy for a while, but love can keep you happy for years. Without money you can not really keep the people you love happy. "Love is better when you know your partner is as happy and safe as he/she can possibly be."  andreap748: Before falling in love I'd rather have myself established and make sure who ever my partner well be is too. What's the point of having it all and not being able to share it with someone. And what's the point of being dead broke when sooner or later love well be lost. I'd rather have it both. But have love out weigh the money. Money comes and goes. And yes I know love can too. But true love, that unending love, that's rare and I'd have rather have that over all the riches in the world, nay the universe. Will_777: I completely agree with you andreap768! And it is nice to see people that still believe in unending love. Most people have given up on that because of all the relationships that don't work out these days. Thank you for the refreshing thought . andreap748: No problem @Will_777 that's what I truly feel and believe. Love is absolutely the greatest thing there is out there, it's not just an emotion but an action. Hence actions speak louder than words. calypso84: It's so refreshing, indeed to read your posts, andreap and Will. I guess I lost my belief in love somewhere on the way. It's the most beautiful feeling. The one that you live for. It's not that I don't believe in it at all. If that was the case, it would mean that I never loved which is not true. It just strikes me how relationships last for a couple of years and then fall apart. andreap748: Because now a days people don't bother trying or fighting to keep it going. When giving up or quiting is so much more easier. Don't seek out happiness from another when you can't be happy with yourself. Established oneself body, mind, spirit and everything else will fall into play. And keep fighting and pursing after love. Yes it hurts sometimes but in the end it's worth it. c: Will_777: It is easy to give up on love in the world that we live in, with people using and abusing love purposefully and on a daily bases. But if you look closely it is still possible to see rare and amazing glimpses of love hidden in this unfair and cruel world. "Only a second of love is powerful enough to wipe away all the doubt and pain that the past has shown you." Will_777: But is it truly better living with love without having the money to make the one you love happy than going without love?  speedbumps: Love... Any one can have all the money in the world but without love ... They are bankrupt. Just a thought here... If I purchased an expensive pet, I would adore it buy it all the best foods, treats, toys, feed it spend time every day showering it with love and attention. Of course I would but soon we know it would loose its novelty and maybe I would spend less and less time with it ignoring or neglecting it if life got busy for me right? OK... Wait... I know most wouldn't treat their lover or spouse like some do their pets but do you see the correlation? In a new romance we tend treat someone the best until novelty or newness wears off then we tend to value things less. Its obvious love requires action and yes usually money helps in the doting aspect of course. And yet, I've seen homeless people adore and take better care of their pets than humans take care of their human loved ones. Love is a profound phenomenally ... however it must be more than an idea, it has to imply an action. It requires something of us. Love involves active participation to be lasting and this can be done with or without money! Love is not merely a noun ... Love is a verb. Daily it requires actions that indicate I am responsible to maintain its care and upkeep as it is important to me. I want love to stay alive and strong enough to make the lifetime journey ahead. I will have to give love to get love. I can't expect love to reach out and grab me, I must show love to get love. Just because I marry someone doesn't mean my need to actively show love is over since you now have claims to the prize, no... maintenance is required. You see, that person you married is a living breathing heartbeat with feelings and emotions requiring communication, touch gestures that indicate, I love you. Remember buying a new pet I must pay attention to it or it misbehaves or simply runs away. A pet doesn't understand ... Why you spent so much time with them when you first got them then only to now... do the duties for maintenance and expect them to be devoted although animals can be devoted ... why should humans stay devoted to someone who says I love you but actions say otherwise. Therefore, With or without money.... Poor or rich we must value whom we say we "love" or that heartbeat could stray. So.. For me... love must be strong enough to endure having everything or losing it all but throughout it all ... Our love will never fail!!! Love ... Complicated but worth taking out the trash as an action of love. (Edited by speedbumps) Will_777: Lol struanrobertson02. But what is your opinion - you are smart and a logical thinker. So what would you suggest is the best. Love without being able to keep the significant other happy or no love?  struanrobertson02: I suppose Love is more important to me. I'm pretty spoilt, you'd know if you saw me at a grocery store, I'm one of those people that always seem to get what they want, if I was any richer it wouldn't matter to me because I've always been grateful for what I have currently, So more money would just go off to charity to make me feel better about myself. What love are we talking about, Familly or Male/Female love? Love from the outside for me is sorta scarce, because I hardly ever take a step outside and my speech skills are utter garbage due to not speaking often, so I suppose I value the uncommon more than the common. So I pick Love, I've never been in a relationship, where as for money I'm pretty good, but of course the tables would turn if I ever went on a date lol. I'm young, you know, so I don't know how much the scenario will change in future. Will_777: Most people who are spoiled don't notice it and even less are grateful for it - a lot of respect for you there . And yes - you may be young and inexperienced with love, but you speak with a lot of knowledge . Some advice though - get out there! You are a great person and even if you have problems with communicating with others, you will still meet a lot of great people and eventually even find love out there. Yes it is rare, but it definitely exists. Thank you for you input in this . All the best !  uglycow10: I don't think that there is a happy ending when the two are independent of each other..... Will_777: @uglycow10: I disagree. Personally I find being independent as one of the best and most attractive qualities someone can have. And two people who are independent support each other plus it shows that they are only together, because they truly want to be together (Not using each other at all). And the best thing is they feel equal in the relationship - the feeling that the other is doing better is terrible and I have seen it destroy relationships. | Dating Chat Room Similar Conversations |
