WHAT is the meaning of love??

[Little T-chan]

Yes...the problem is most people think all teens are the same. That is annoying, as well, because I have to put up with them associating me with them.

Oh..well, I'm sure some insightful ppl will come along and notice how mature you are and what a deep thinker you are!! ^^

first off, its VERY VERY VERY VERY good to see people who over analyze things, probably a gift from God? I over analyze everything, and people think i'm weird or whatever. BUt I do like the trait of overanalyzation. It's only not Good on the SAT's or something

hahaha I like overanalyzing too!!! Well..I try to because I usually don't understand something right off the bat, so I have to sit and think critically about it until 1.)I get it 2.) my head hurts or 3.)I get someone else to tell me....=_=; So it must be a hard job for you Mr. Smartypants...haha that's funny name! ^^u

The trick is to take the products of your analyis and apply them with confidence to actual situations .

I thought I understood it!!!!!....But then, I didn't. -_-;

Why isn't it possible to fall into or out of love???

I believe love is not something that can just happen to you. It's something you develop over a life time. Can you imagine one simply waking up and not loving your parents? You can be unhappy with them at times, I'm sure, but does that mean you want to break ties with them altogether? Once you truly love someone, that feeling will never go away. Now, if you are simply attracted to the other person, that can and does go away. That's what most people tend to associate with love, I think.

Well, me being me, I found it just a rash of different emotions such as romantic love: a degree of physical attraction, caring, and the desire to help.

Someone told me that love is not an emotion but an action. Anyone can have compassion but it can't be love until they are willing to do something about it.

At first I was like, huh? But I think I'm beggining to understand it.

Pure love, is something once cannot comprehend. The only thing that is pure love is God's love. The closest thing to it is maternal love.

Well that's just what I take on it.

i don't know if i can really answer that question, but u have to remember, love is a verb (action). If u want love, u have to be willin to give it back and to show it totally. Just look up the DC Talk song "luv is a verb" from their album

Oh..I get it. Thank you! ^^

Oh...I think I'll have to think about it for long time til I understand but it makes sense in a hazy...unclear way. ^^u Thank you!

Again, I'm not sure I understand, but I'm sure I will after some critical thinking!!!! ::determined:: Thank you!!

Actually, what you're talking about is just analyzing. "Overanalyzing" things is when you look deeper into a question and come to a conclusion that seems farfetched to others or isn't accurate in light of the truth of the matter. It's finding hidden meanings where none are intended.

Oh...Thank you! I learned a new word today!! ^^

1 John 4
18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19We love because he first loved us.

surpriesed not to see this verse yet but it means that true love is in us because we have exsperianced the love that God has shown us.

Check my first post (#17)...I quote 1 John 4:10-12, which says essentially the same thing .
