Loving

[Rubyfruit]

What's so wrong with it?

Does anybody really think the world doesn't have enough of it?

When did love start to equal all or nothing?

When you care deeply about people, hope for their happiness, share in their disappointments, rejoice in their accomplishments, is that "like?"

nothing is wrong with love...until it goes sour....someone should really check the expiration date on that thing

There ain't no cure for love

 

[SouthernMale]

One of my favorite sayings is "I always love you but there are times I don't like you".

Of course being a guy I think there is sex and there is love sometimes they are the same and sometimes they aren't.

Nothing is wrong with it.

Its just the fact that now a days we expect something back for our love.

I have 'loving' feelings for my ex-so, but I don't believe I'm 'in love' with her.

I mean, I care about her well being, It would make me sad to think she was in pain or sad herself. Things like that.

I 'like' people very quickly, though I sometimes mistaken strong like, for love.

People are scared to open themselves to hurt. Their cynical and afraid. They believe people are trying to decieve them, to trick them.

It doesn't cost a thing to love someone, and you don't lose anything. It's just a gift, and it benefits the giver as well.

I don't see why people don't get that.

There is nothing wrong with loving. I think that unconditional love is hard to come by. Usually, when we love someone, we expect them to love us the same way back. When they don't, it goes sour and then it becomes a traumatic experience.

Nothing is wrong with love, darlin'.
It is only when we give it, and expect love in return, that we find pain.
I strive to give my love endlessly, with no expectations. Sometimes, I fail. But, I do keep trying.

Love is scary. Love makes you vulnerable, open to the most grievous pain. It can make you act foolish, go against your best interest, do things you couldn't imagine you would do.
And yet we can't resist it's lure.

All I know is that love can withstand all the pain in the world, but one small act of love can make a lifetime of pain wither to nothingness.

Yes, I agree completely.

I must respectfully disagree. It costs a lot to love, risk in fact, it costs risk.

To truely love someone you are willing to take all the bad with the good, at least in unconditional love. That costs something, I think.

I love freely...and don't believe it's cynical to say that love does cost something.

 

[Wiggles]

Yes, I agree completely.

I like your title. It's definitely the way to be.

And your av of course. Wicked grin.

What would the good be without the bad? Of course love can hurt. It's alot like life. But it's all a part of the ride. Do you lose anything? Really?

Isn't that 'cost' when you take something away from yourself and give it to another? And it's no longer yours?

That is my perception anyway.

Thanks

What's so wrong with it? ---------Nothing.

----The world will never have enough, greed over shadows it.

When did love start to equal all or nothing?
It doesn't and shouldn't.

When you care deeply about people, hope for their happiness, share in their disappointments, rejoice in their accomplishments, is that "like?"

Yes...that makes sense, we take our lessons from previous loss and use it to build our character and loving ways.

sheer madness...

Hi Ruby,

I've always thought that love is about hope not expectations. You hope that special someone will love you back but to expect them to do is an exercise in futility.

Indeed I agree, why are people so put off by others being able to love. You don't have to move a mountain with your pinky to love someone. It is after all an emotion, and it's not bad...I don't know why everyone is so fascinated by thinking that loving another has to be the perfect expression, or is futile.

 

[enjoyingitall]

I don't think there is anything wrong with loving. There may be plenty wrong with the way we express our love.
Love does have its costs, but I would say it's very much worth it. I'm reminded of the old saying, "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" or of the song about "I'd of had to miss the dance". I feel both of those are true.
Loving can be the most rewarding experience of our life. It can sometimes be one of the hardest lessons we will ever learn.

I like the way you think, Velius.

Great minds Ruby, great minds (love your new avatar, as well as your others)

On that same point, I think absolute fidelity is rather unrealistic. By our very nature we seek to have as many partners as possible. I don't really see it as very likely that you would have to love only one person, to the exclusion of all else. In a less self revolving, less judgemental world I think we could love many people equally (or not, as the case may be).

Velius (The Man): Right on dude!

Velius (The Woman): This world needs more women like you!

I'm at a bit of loss here.
