Different Loves

When someone is asked what love is, their answer would normally be what love is between a boyfriend and a girlfriend. However, there are many different types of love; you can love your family, your friends, objects, and just about everything and everyone. My definition of love is a strong attachment or attraction to something or someone. Love can cause a variety of other emotion like joy, trust, confusion, and even sadness or hate. I think that many people confuse one love with another, such as thinking that you’re in love with one of your friends when in reality you don’t really love them the way you thought you did. The most common love that I’ve seen is family love. Even though my parents or my brother and I have our fights, I love them and would do anything to make sure they’re all right. Friends and boyfriends and girlfriends may come and go, but you only have one family, and they can’t be replaced. My grandmother passed away a couple of years ago and I know she will never be replaced. Animals are loved just as much as humans are because animals are supposed to be part of your family. I love my three dogs (Nami, Scruffy, and Beyonce) to death and I don’t want to see them get hurt. So next time someone asks you your definition of love, don’t just blurt out something about being in love and wanting to marry someone or whatever, but really think about how many different people you love.

Lovers Love

There are many definitions of love. My definition of love is when you have extremely strong feelings towards something. Love is when you truly believe in your heart that someone is right. That person is someone who is always there. You will know when you love someone. You will feel it not only in your heart, but in your soul. Your soul is always right. Instead of following your heart, follow your soul and you will really be where you belong. Many people just throw the word "love" out like it is an everyday word. What they do is say they love something when they just like it. They emphasise too much. Why would you waste such a strong word like love on a food?

Why do we use "Love"?

The "real" love is a thing of the past. Everyday, kids and teens say," I love you", and they separate in two days. Love is the most overused yet unknown word used in today's society. I've never been in love so I literally have no idea what it might feel like. I cannot imagine that it would change your whole life as dramatically as people say and act like it does. People overreact when someone does not say that they love them back, but they do not even know what the real meaning is. Love cannot be fully understood until you experience the real thing which usually does not happen. Numerous marriages today end with a divorce even though they say that they love each other all the time. People get overexcited if someone says they love them. Friends say it to each other even if they do not really love each other because they say it is brotherly love. Brotherly love does not exist except for your actual brothers or sisters. I cannot believe that the phrase," I love you", has come out to be this crazy thing most teens freak out about.

Love Never Ends

“Love is patient. Love is kind. Love never ends.” This verse from First Corinthians is, to me, one of the most profound statements in the Bible. I believe that the love that we show to other people gets passed on and never ends. It is no coincidence that a wedding ring is in the shape of a circle. A wedding ring is symbol not only of commitment, but the never-ending cycle of love. Love begins with the innocence of babies and children. Experiencing the love of new life when my little brothers were born has inspired me to pursue a medical career with babies. Love blossoms with age, and can be found as people grow into adults and parents. Over the course of my life, my parents have been a living example of what real love is, both to each other and to me. The trademark image of successful, long-lasting love is an old couple, still together and happily in love. Even when people leave the earth, the way they lived and loved still remains. Love is not only an emotion, but it is a connection with others that inspires and never ends.

The Incredible and sometimes fatal love.

Love is shown in all kinds of ways. Sometimes love is shown by people that are married or by people who love their country. Love to me is beyond just saying you love something or someone. To me, if you love something, you'll die protecting it. So when someone says they love this restraunt or this store. They do not truly love it, they would not die for it if it is in danger. People who truly love something will die for them. For example, those who fight on the front lines in war, are the ones who are willing to die for the protection of the millions they are fighting for. Love also thrives people when their loved ones are in danger, they will not let them be hurt. Love will give them the strength to go to all costs to keep their loved ones or country safe. Which, in the end, love can be fatal. Love will make someone sacrifice themselves for the safety of the one they love. I can't picture many people that would do that nowadays. Although, I cannot prove that, so maybe some people still do show true love. Can't wait to find out.

Love Comes in Different Types

Love is a word that has several differnt meanings, according to who you ask. Parents love one another, they love their children, best friends love each other, and some people even "love" their pets. I believe that love is something special you feel with another person. Love, to me, is not something that is just given away to anyone, it must be earned. In my life now, my love is shared with few, God, my parents, sisters, and few friends. God holds all of my love, though He leaves me some to share with others. He created each one of us, and loves us all, just the way He made us. As for my "one true love", I do not believe that I have met him yet, but only God knows. I do however believe that everyone has one special person in the world that God wants them to be with. Though I have not experienced that kind of love, I do know the love my parents have for me, and I for them. I know they would give their lives for me and vice versa. This is a type of love that cannot be created. Another type of love is the kind friends have for each other. Friends that love each other do whatever it takes to make their friend happy. There are many types of love that could be explained, but these are the ones that mean the most to me. What types of love are most important to you?

Love is More Serious Than it Seems

To me, love is used more commonly than meant. You can love like a friend, love like a brother or sister, love like you love your dog, love like you love your parents, and you can love like you love your soul mate. Love is a four letter word that most people do not take litterally. I see couples that have dated for three weeks say I love you, and break up the next day. That does not show real, true love. Love should be said with emotion, and sincerity. I am not saying I am against love, I am stating that I think that I am too young for love. Yes, i believe in young love, just not in my case. I just believe that I am not mentally, or physically ready for love. Seeing my love for my friends and family shows me how much I care for other people more than I care for myself, when I know it should be the other way around. I just seem to put more people infrot of myself, rather than me put myself infront of other people. It is a very difficult thing to understand, but this is what love to me.

Love is Selfless

I don’t believe that there is an exact definition of love, for it is a complex thing and has a different meaning to different people. I believe love is knowing everything about someone and still wanting to be with them despite their flaws. It’s loving that person for everything that they are. Love is sacrificing for someone and expecting nothing in return. Love is trusting a person with your life and never doubting them. Love is being able to act completely yourself with a person and not be ashamed. Love is about sharing your life with someone else, and never leaving them behind wherever you may go in life. Love is having a relationship with someone that is strong and never fades. Love is about being patient and kind to another person. And above all, love is selfless. To love someone you must put that person before yourself and be concerned with their well-being before your own. That is love simply put into words, but in reality, true love cannot be described nor defined.

The Greatest Love

Love is one word that most people have a difficult time explaining. Love is one emotion that we really do not know how to put into words. Although we cannot explain the word love we use it many times throughout our daily lives. We constantly say we love something or someone. You may say that you love your parents or your family and you truly do. There is many times however, that we say we love something that we really do not. We say we love things that cannot even love us in return. It could be a purse in the store that you think you must have, it could be your newest phone, or maybe it is your favorite foods. We say we love things all the time, but what is love? In John 15:13 it says “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” This means that we should not say that we love someone or something unless we are willing to lay down our life for it. Jesus showed the greatest love anyone could show when he died on the cross for us. Throughout the Bible the word love is used many times. God is the ultimate example of love. “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”1 John 4:8. The Bible calls us to love him first above all else and then secondly love everyone else. “Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22:37–39. Love is such an important word that is often overused.

Don't Hurt Me

"What is love," Haddaway sings in his famous song "What is Love." This is a good question coming from a song most people only remember because of the movie Night at the Roxbury. I believe that love is a word that is tossed around a good bit these days. All around us love is used to describe lust and pleasure towards something, but very rarely used in the way that it was really supposed to. This really upsets me because love has such a deep meaning and when people toss the word love around, it devalues the meaning and makes it just another phrase. I believe that love should be a phrase we use when we really mean it because then, it makes it that much more special than if we say it constantly. So keep in mind as you go through your day to day lives that love isn't just another word it is valuable and something that you shouldn't take for granted.

That Tricky Emotion.

Love has been through everyones lives big or small. It is an experience that we all go through. Love people feel can be felt in different ways. It could give you butterflies when you see that person you loveIt could be love for parents and siblings around you ,but love can also be painful. When you love someone and can not be with them, it can hurt you. When something happens to a love one , you cry because you love that person or thing. Many people are willing to sacrifice so much because that thing or person they love is worth it. Love to me is a necessity in life. To me, to never to be loved is worse than dying. To be lonely in the world is a very cold feeling. Having friends that love me makes me feel strong. Makes me feel like there are people out there who truly care about me. Love is very strong and mysterious. We have yet to truly understand it today.

An Indescribable Emotion

Can we really describe love? Is there a true definition? Everyone experiences love in different ways. I come in contact with love through family, friendships, relationships, and most importantly, through God. In this century, love is misused quite often, or not used often enough. To me, love is a very valuable thing that should never be abused or taken for granted. Encounters with love can bring great joy, but can also lead to heartbreak and sorrow. Love can be temporary, such as in relationships or friendships, but can also be permanent and unconditional, for instance, in the love that God gives you. Love is an indescribable emotion that all people will feel and supply to others in one point in their life. Expressions of love can be shown through physical, emotional, and spiritual actions. Acts of love can be shown simply by staying committed in a long distance relationship, or, giving moral support to someone you care about that is in need of help. I am going to close out with a short question that can be either, simple or hard, to answer. What does love mean to you?

What Does Love Really Mean?

The Webster's dictionary definition of love is, "A deep and tender feeling of affection to a person." However, I do not believe there is a true meaning of love. Everybody has different views and opinions on love. Love could be a relationship between a man and a woman, a relationship with friends and family, or with God. In today's society, love is greatly overused. People say, "I love money!" or "I love this car!" Money, cars, and other material things cannot love you back. To me, love comes from trust. If you love someone, wether it is a spouse, a friend, or a family member, you must be able to trust them, and they trust you back. The Bible mentions love and trust in 1 Corinthians 13:6-7, "Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres." I believe this passage paints a perfect picture on what true love means to me.

Our Own Interpretation

Love can be difficult, love can be easly. Love also can mean a large variety of different things. It is left to a personal interpretation. There are also very many different types of love. Theres the way you love your family and siblings. They mean everything to you and you always go to them when you have dug yourself a hole too deep to get yourself out of. Then there is the love you have for your best friend. You do anything for them to make sure they are happy and visa versa. Another type of love would be the true love you have with a spouse; then theres the puppy love young teenagers have with their boyfriends/girlfriends. Love can be a very strong feeling for the people who believe in it, but not so much for the ones who do not. I do, however, believe in true love. I read somewhere once that people who are in love live longer and that those who married live longer than those who stay single. I do not know if that is true, but I would say they are probably happier than those who are alone, no offense to any of those people who choose to never get married though. That is my interpretation of love, thanks for reading!

Love's True Purpose

What is the purpose of love? Our society today would suggest that love is a self-pleasing emotion. But that is not the way that God intended for love to be. Love is meant to be a giving action, not a self-centered emotion. Love is a very strong thing. It can be very powerful. Song of Songs 8:6-7 says, "....For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned." The true purpose for love, God's purpose, is for love to be used for his glory. God wants us to show his love in everything we do. God is love. God's love is the most powerful thing we could ever imagine. God conquered death through his son to show his love for us. No other love could ever compare to God's love for us. His love conquers all.

What is the Real Meaning of Love?

There is many different words that can describe love. There is also many different definitions of love and also many different kinds. Love is a strong emotion that you have towards someone or something. It gives you the feeling that you cannot live your life without this special person or item. Many different people love many different things. They love and cherish many different personal items that they have developed an attachment to. They also love their family and friends who love them back. But, what comes to mind when someone says love is the feeling that you develop for a special someone that makes you feel like you can do anything. That one person is the one that you want to spend the rest of your life with. I do not believe in fate. I do not believe that there is a set path you are supposed to follow. I believe that your life is based on the decisions that your make throughout it. I do believe though that there is someone, for everyone, that love comes natural for the both of them. There will always be one person out there, where you do not even have to say anything and you know that that person is the person that you cannot live without. I love my friends and family and also love many different items I possess. I also hope that I can find that special someone in my life that I can count on for anything and will be with for the rest of my life. Love is always there for everyone. Some people might disagree, but everyone is loved in a special way. Some of the ways someone is loved is different from others, but love will always be there, rather you realize it or not.

A Very Deep Emotion...Love

Love is a very confusing topic. Many people use the word "love" loosely. Some people just say it at the drop of a hat. I have to admit, I have done this before with past girlfriends. I always think that I truely love them and I am going to be with them forever. But the truth is, I do not know what true love is at my age. I recently had a girlfriend and just three days ago we broke up. I seriously thought that I "loved" this girl, but now I know that I really did not "truely" love her. Plenty of people make this same mistake. My mom told me that when I truely love a girl, I will be able to feel it and it is a feeling that you have never felt before. She said it is a feeling that is hard to describe and that it just makes you feel so happy inside. Love is a very deep emotion that must be different from any other. Me and just about every other ninth grader do not know what true love is yet as much as we would like to think we do. We just need to be patient and wait for God to put the right person in our life. Then we will be truely happy with the phrase "love."

About Love.

Love comes in all shapes, sizes, and can be found almost anywhere as long as a person is willing to show it. Love is more than just girl loving a new pair of shoes. Love is an emotion that bonds friends and families together through hard and good times. If I did not have love in my life, it would be disasterous. I would most likely not be a decent kid if my parents didn't love me the way they do. Love means a lot to me, and plays a key role in everybody's life. Showing love is something everybody wants, but very few people give. I love my parents a whole lot. They have impacted my life so incredibly much, by showing me love. People can also love their husbands or wifes and their girlfriends or boyfriends. Love is shown from person to person by being kind, understandable, generous, showing mercy, obediant, and even by giving gifts. Love can be shown by doing almost anything. As long as their is love in the world the world can still be a wonderful place even though there is evil. That is why God created love.

What is this thing we call love?

Love that thing we say is beautiful and we called it the best thing in the universe, but why? For love we will go out of our way to show to special people in all our lives. Love by definition is a passionate affection someone else but I think it is so much more. Love to me is the way of showing that one person in the universe that is exactly like you that you care and would do anything for them. Love also is a feeling that is almost undescripable because it is the feeling of knowing one-hundred percent that something in your life you are doing is the right thing. Love to me has to be obtained to fully understand it for yourself no mans opinion of love is quite the same. Love to me is also only what i can guess it can be or of what other people have claimed to be. In my life I hope like a men to obtain this but how will you know when you actually achieve this true love. Well to know if you have got full love you will just have to know it deep down in your heart. Love will make you do crazy things. Love will make you do things like go out of your way to express yourself. Love can also make you do and say things you would not just say to people you pass in the street or even people that are so what close to you. Love can be show in many way like giving that person you love attention they want or giving them items that make happy even though they did not want it even though that is a bad way to show your love. In conclusion I beleve love is a very special thing that everyone gets eventually and it makes your life better than anything else.

Stronger Than Us

Many people's views on love are different. Some people use love as if it is a commonly used verb. If I were to walk around the mall I would hear, "OMG! I love your new bracelet." I will admit I am no saint when it comes to this action, but it is true. Now, in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, he portrays love to be an instant thing. Well, he is wrong. I feel the words "I love you" are something you must reach in a relationship. I tell my friends "I love you" all the time, even my parents. Couples who say "I love you" on the first day they meet do not mean it when they say it. I do not believe in love at first sight, but I do believe in lust. William Shakespeare may not know how to express love, and neither do I. That's ok though, because love is a strong feeling. It is so strong that it may even be stronger then us.

One Significant Similarity

We’re all different. No two people on this earth are exactly the same. Most possess different beliefs, ideas, and views on life. These differences have even caused wars and other conflicts. Despite all of this diversity, we all share one thing in common; we all know the feeling of love. Love is not something that you can be taught. It cannot be "googled" or searched on the web because it is a powerful feeling that comes naturally to us as humans. I like to think of love as a selfless happiness. If you truly love someone, their well-being tends to be more important to you than your own. For example, a caring mother who gives more to her child than she does for herself is love. The mother is selfless and has less, yet she still finds happiness because of the love she has for her child. There are many other forms of this powerful emotion, such as the love you may have for a close friend, beloved pet, or significant other. Although one person may believe in one thing and someone else believe in another, both share the knowledge of love.

Love..A Word That is Often Misused

What is love? This is one of the hardest questions to answer, but no one can really give a proper definition. Depending on the context, love can be of different varieties. I find love through my family, friends, my boyfriend, and God, and to me, the meaning of love changes with these different relationships. Love is an emotion of strong affection, whether it be a frienship or a relationship. It consists of trust, honesty, respect, and many other things. Although everyone has their own definition of love, it is commonly misused. When you love someone, you are willing to look past the imperfections in a person. You are constantly there for that person, and most importantly there is this undescribable, unbreakable bond between two people. Love is not a word that is to be taken lightly. Whether you are talking about the love between your family, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, or God. To me, when you love someone you let all your walls down because you have that much trust in them, but what does love mean to you? Everyone has their own opinions.

love

Love is very important to me. Love is when you truly care about someone. When you love someone you always want them to succed. You will always want to help them. I love my family. I also love God. I know my family and god love me too. When you truly love somebody you can never stop loving them either. Love is not what somebody looks like either. Love is when you really know somebody and you love them for who they are. You could care less what they look like. That is what I think love is.

The Questions of Love

The question is, what is love? Is it just an emotion we can feel. Could it be the warmth we get from our mothers hugs? Can it be from being around the people we can call family? I think it is all of those things combined and more. Love to some people is the essence of their existince. To others they can not stand even the thought of love. Love to me is one of the many things in life we need. The love makes us have feelings and emotions we need to have in order to be a family. Without love we would not feel the pain of death or the joy of seeing a best friend. Family is a great example of the love we have and share. It shows the nuturing side and how we are able to form trust. The point is that we would not be able to live if we did not possess the love inside of us.

The Passion of Love

Love is passionate affection towards another person. Love has different meanings to different people. I think of love as a very strong emotion or feeling. I love the people who are important in my life. I believe when you love someone you will always love them no matter what. Love has become an overused word. Today, some people use the word love too casually. For example, they say it to get what they want or to get out of trouble. Now, the word love is said one day and gone the next. Love is mentioned everywhere, even in the movies, media, and commercials. One always hears about love in lyrics of a song or on the TV screen. Sometimes in films, there are two people who see each other for the first time and it seems as if fireworks go off. I believe that love at first sight is just made up. I think you show love by knowing them well and being with them through thick and thin. Love comes from the heart and is the most powerful emotion. I believe this is why they say God is love.

Love Never Ends

“Love is patient. Love is kind. Love never ends.” This verse from First Corinthians is, to me, one of the most profound statements in the Bible. I believe that the love that we show to other people gets passed on and never ends. It is no coincidence that a wedding ring is in the shape of a circle. A wedding ring is symbol not only of commitment, but the never-ending cycle of love. Love begins with the innocence of babies and children. Experiencing the love of new life when my little brothers were born has inspired me to pursue a medical career with babies. Love blossoms with age, and can be found as people grow into adults and parents. Over the course of my life, my parents have been a living example of what real love is, both to each other and to me. The trademark image of successful, long-lasting love is an old couple, still together and happily in love. Even when people leave the earth, the way they lived and loved still remains. Love is not only an emotion, but it is a connection with others that inspires and never ends.

A Beautiful Gift

Love is said to be a strong passionate feeling towards someone or something, but in my opinion, love is being devalued in todays society. The word is tossed around so carelessly and is often used as a means to get our way, exposing the selfishness of mankind. Love has layers which can stir many different emotions. It can bring us to the highest of highs yet hurt us as no other emotion can. We often put a price tag on love using it as a bartering tool. What right do we have to do so when it has been given to us freely through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Wasn't God's love so much greater for us that he broke his own heart to give us such an awesome gift? It's great to hear "I love you," but even better to feel that you are loved. I know how much love hurts through rejection, I feel it everyday as I walk the halls of our school. The world would be a better place if we loved others as we love ourselves. It saddens me that we are destroying such a beautiful gift. Our hearts should always be ready to give and receive.

The Three Types of Love

Love, in my opinion, is one of the most powerful emotions. There are three different types of love. Eros love, or erotic love, is the love between a man or women. Agape love is unconditional love. Philos love is the love based on friendship or between two people. To me Philos and Agape are the most important. In my experience these two go hand in hand very commonly. For example my best friend, and brother, has depended on me many times. He can do this because we both have Agape and Philos love for each other. I know that when I need anything I can always depend on him. There have been so many memories and times were we needed each other that I could right write a book. If we did not share Agape and Philos love I have no idea were I would be now. Love as put a permanent change to my life.

That Lovely Four Letter Word

What is love? That which we call affection, by any other name would seem as sweet? Is love patient ? Is love is kind? Does love mean slowly losing your mind? Many are confused with the definition of love and others simply reject it outright. Poets and writers have written about love ever since humans could hold a pen. Disney depicts love as a handsome knight on a white horse saving a damsel in distress.Then of course it is love at first sight and they proceed to gallop off into the sunset. The question on everyone's mind is, "What is real love, and how do I get it?" Personally, I believe love is different for everyone. In result how can I define love in general or tell you how to get it? I cannot, so I will explain my personal meaning of love and by which means that I receive it. There are many types of love, but they all have the following qualities: dedication, work , and play.One kind of love is agape. This is the love of God or religion. I know this to be the purest and most beautiful kind of love . Another Kind of love is that which you have for that special person you spend your life with. You give them affection, attention, and your life. Finally, the most common love is the love you have for your friends. Friendship is love, and for friends you would go the world over for their well being and happiness. You receive love by opening your heart and accepting it. You keep love by giving it back . Love has changed my life completely and made it better. Agape love has saved me and given me a purpose . I am not married, but I am sure that kind of love will change many things for me as well. My friends and my love for them have kept my chin up and my smiles often .I am not selfish with my love and give it openly to those who will accept it and return it. I am not naive with my love either . I will not give it to someone who neither wants it nor respects it. Love is unconditional, unending, and love is all you need.

Things I Know About Love

Life would not be complete without the emotion of love. Love is what helps some people get through the day, but it can even cause heartbreak. Basically what I think about love is that it can be wonderful or tragic. There is never an inbetween. Many relationships are abusive, based on lust, and full of lies. True love is very rare to find in these days. A reason some people get so bent out of shape over love is because the person they care so much about may not feel the same way. Hearts do not really get broken, but if you practice too hard with them, they can get quite hurt. The good thing is that they get better and life goes on even after a horrible breakup. Loving someone is finding that special person that you could not imagine yourself living without. My family and friends are the people that I love. I appreciate them so much and do not know where I would be without them. If I have a bad day, they make me smile and brighten up my perspective on everything. In the end, the only person you can truly count on is yourself. Love yourself no matter what because the people you love now will not always be there to support you.

Unique Title :D

Love has many definitions. The most common is that it is affection towards another person. You can love many people, such as a family member, a friend, or a lover. Throughout the course of life, you will love in every way possible. I know I have. I have dated a few boys, but I have not loved any as much as I love my current boyfriend. Love has its up and downs; my relationship is no exception. Love can be an amazing feeling, but it can be very painful at times. Love is not perfect. Love is a risk but it can be worth it if it is the right person. Some people cannot understand love, for it is too powerful for them. Love can break the strongest of men, it is not something to be played with.

Love Backwards Sounds Like Evil

Love is the one thing that keeps us going everyday, whether we know it or not. Love is the undying affection we feel for someone or something. However, while love is a beautiful thing, all too often it show its ugly side. When people begin to love someone very much, it gets at them very deeply. Their feelings create impulses all over their bodies. We take out our hearts, and etch our loves name into them. Then, without warning, that person reveals their true feelings. It is not what we wanted to hear. Is it our fault? Is it their's? Can we fix it? We have to face the everliving fact that there not the one for us. Someone is out there, though. Someone you never thought you would feel this way for. The thought never even crosses our minds. But are our feelings worth complicating the friendship? The only way to know is to wait. Show that you care everyday. Eventually our positive energy spreads to that person. This invisible rope grows between you both. Even though your not always next each other, your hearts are at the center of that rope, merging. It is not the strongest rope, however. It can be severed. But if you commit to them and yourself, the two of you will persevere.

Not Always Perfect but Worth it

Love, you hear the word used everyday but, not many people know what real love is. People define love in many different way but the best deffinintion of love to me is from the Bible. 1 Corinthians 4-8 says, " Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easlily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perserveres." If you use almost any example of the love most people claim it falls infinnately short of God's deffinition of love. God's love for us is the only perfect love there is! He loves us so much that he sent his son to die for us. Would you be able to send your child to die for sinners? His love for us is far greater than what we could ever imagine! When all else fails turn to him in his never ending love because above all else love perserveres! Of course our parents and friends love us but, they aren't perfect and neither is their love. No relationship has perfect love, we're human and we are gonna mess up and that's fine. Love isn't always getting along but, it is protecting, trusting and, having patience with the other person. My family and friends mean everything to me and even though we don't always get along I truely do love them. Love takes time and tons of work, because no love go's without obstacles. Even with all the obstacles, love is worth it all in the end!

Animals Love Too!

Love; how much is hiding in these four letters? Love is a great power which makes life so important. I think that without love people can not live in this world. At our age, we do not understand the true meaning of love, it is just something we think we know but truley do not. Love must take time to form, to form into trust, and care, truely caring for your companion. Many couples I've seen have exchanged "I love yous", and a month later they split up. Love can be towards a person or something else like an animal. I know that my love is real, and will never change. I love my family and my animals, and I know I am loved right back. Many people say animals do not have feeling, but just like humans they have every emotion that we do, from being happy and cheerful to being down in the dump, animals share our same feelings. I let my animals know everday that I love them, love them just like a child and I know I am loved right back. For many of the people my age that are in a relationship and think that know what true love is, definitely needs a reality check. Studies show only about 5 percent of Highschool Sweethearts will actually stay together threw highschool, college, hardtimes, and marriage. So some people, consider a reality check! (:

What is love?

Love is probably the most commonly used word in the English language, but how many people really know what love is? Being in high school, it seems that everything is about love. There are those who think they are constantly heartbroken over the ones they think they loved. There are those who need a constant boyfriend or girlfriend to keep them happy, who think they're in love at first sight. There are those who look for it constantly, although it never seems to come their way. Why is everyone so blind? Love is not something that happens only weeks after dating someone. Love is not something that happens at first sight. It takes time, trust, care, and effort to build up to love. The only person who deserves your love is the one who will fight for it, who will never hurt you. However, why do people seem to spend their whole lives looking for love? If only they would look around, they would see they are surrounded by people who love them. Those people may not be significant others, but you don't need a significant other to be happy. Love doesn't mean to have a significant other anyway. Love means to be there for someone no matter what. Love means to be loyal. Love means to pick someone up when they can't stand up on their own. Love isn't what people have made it out to be. If people would just stop looking for love and be happy with life, maybe they would stop getting hurt so much. Maybe love would even come to them.

The Type of Love I Have Felt

There is only one type of love I have felt and shown. That is family love. I have loved my family sine the day I was born and the days my younger sisters were born. I show my love for them by telling each and every one of them, individually, "Love you," after getting off the phone with them; or even at night before going to my room for bed. Although I love God most of all, I classify him under family love, because he is my father aswell as everyone elses'. I show my love for God by praying and speaking to him every night and morning, and occasionally throughout the day when I feel I need him with me. There are other types of love, such as a man loving a non related woman. For instance romeo loved juliet in the play "Romeo and Juliet." That is a love I have yet to find, but hope to in the near future. I do not love any woman, not related to me, with a passion enough to tell her, and be with her for the rest of my life. However I do love my family and will for the rest of my life. And I will love God for the rest of eternity. Even As I rest in heaven, which I will be in when I die. Hopefully with my mom, dad, three sisters, and the woman I plan on meeting, marrying, and loving sometime in my future.

Love

What is love? There are many definitions of love from many different people. Real love is a strong positive emotion of regard and affection. Most people say that love is when you really like somebody that is hot. No. Love is not all about looks. The good Lord once said to Samuel, "the Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." That is how true love is, and should be for everybody. Love them for who they are and not what they look like. Love is not always about how we feel though. Our emotions are involved, but true devotion will always lead to action. In my book, and hopefully everyone else's, that is true love.

What is love?

Love is a strong word that means more than you think. It is a term that you use when you care for something deeply. It is a passionate affection for another person or thing. To me, love is when you find someone that you want to be with for a long time. Possibly for the rest of your life. Love is when you follow your heart no matter what other people think or say. It is not caring about another person's opinion. Love is a big part of my life. It is what keeps me sane each and every day. My love for my friends and family over powers everything else. Truthfully, I believe that the best way to say "I love you" is a smile. A smile can show someone just how much you really care about them.

The Bible Says

The Bible says that love is patient and gentle. It is not envious and does not promote itself. It is not big headed and it is not to be misused. But in today's world, there are numerous types. Gay relationships, love-hate relationships, and man-woman relationships are only a few of the many love relationships. Love can hurt or heal someone. It takes on a variety of roles like a mother, father, sister, brother, husband, wife, or friend. In society, it helps to create good relationships between people so business is easily conducted. Love can make people crazy and obsessive. Sometimes it makes people nervous and jittery. Over all, love can be a poison or a medicine for a wounded heart. It brings out the best and the worst in everyone it strikes with its bow and arrow.

Love Never Fails

The Webster definition of love is a profoundly tender and passionate affection for another person. I find that it is nearly impossible to define the word “love”. Love can be different for everyone. My definition of love would be finding that special someone who makes you feel important, who you could spend every second of everyday with. Love will have its times where it makes you upset, you will have silly fights, and some big fights, but true love is learning to forgive after stupid little fights, to be yourself around them and know they don’t care what you do as long as you are being you. This quote from 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 is a great way to define love. "Love is patient; love is kind; It does not envy; it does not boast; it is not proud; It is not rude. It always protects, trusts, and perseveres. Love never fails." Love is something that you will deal with from the day you were born to the day you leave this Earth. It is an emotion that you will live with forever, whether you are searching for it, experiencing it, or wishing it never existed. The only love I know right now are the love for my family, friends, and God. I am truly blessed to have such wonderful people in my life who love me they do. My love for my family has been with me since I was born. My parents have done absolutely everything they can do to raise me right and keep me happy. They are here to support me with whatever decisions I make in life, good or bad. I know they love me endlessly without ceasing. Without them I would not be the person I am today. When I finally found the right people to hang out with they have stayed by my side since day one. They are always here for me and I will always be here for them. To have friends you can truly count on is one of the greatest feelings in the world. I love each and every one of them. My love for God grows each and every day. He will be the one by my side 24/7 when my family and friends aren’t. He is the only relationship you will ever have that lasts. God is the person I think loves the most. Although love is a great thing and once found should be cherished, it also can cause people a great deal of pain. Love is not always a happy feeling. When you feel you have a strong desire to be with someone and then they don’t feel the same way in return, you could get really depressed for a while. Love, if given to the wrong person, can be very bad on you and your self esteem. No one should be afraid to love, it’s a natural feeling that everyone gets. Love is just a word until you find that special someone to give you the definition.

Love is a Condition

"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own." -Robert Heinlein
This quote takes place of all the misunderstandings about love. Many people think they are in love when they are not, and that is called lust. Love is finding that one person that you know you could spend the rest of your life with. Through all the fights and arguments, giggling and making fun, and just being yourself, falling in love will come naturally. However, I do not believe in fate, to an extent where it controls if you and that special person end up together. On the other hand, I do believe that everybody has somebody, somewhere out there. As with anything else, you must work hard to find it, and put in the effort to keep it. But truly, is it not God's plan for everyone to have that happiness and experience real, true love? Also, there is more than one type of love. I am very blessed to have the friends and family in my life that love me and would do anything for me. They are always there when I need them, and I have no idea what I would do if I did not have anyone to love me. They all give me that comfort, that I think everyone needs, to at least get me through the day. Once someone thinks they are alone and do not have anyone, they should always know God loves them, no matter what.

True Love

There are many different types of love in the universe. There is relationship love between couples, family love, friendship love, and God's love. Many people think that dating someone for a few months means they love that person. I do not believe you can love someone you barely know. In relationship love, the love grows until it either ends or the couple have a strong enough relationship to make the love last. Love is mainly about caring about someone unconditionally and willing to sacrifice for that person. People show love by respecting one another, showing affection, and helping a person when they are in need. It is sad but some people never understand the true meaning of love. I believe love is a gift God gave us. You can accept His gift and love yourself and others or you can choose not to believe in love. You are lucky to find true love once in your life. I have chosen to accept God's gift and love, even if it means that one day I may have a broken heart.

Such A Complicated Word

Love, to many people, including me, is a very complicated thing. In the story they obviously had a bunch of love because they ended up killing themselves for each other! I do not think I would go that far, but I might not be able to say that because I have never experienced a true love like that. Sure, I have been told I love you by someone special once or twice in my life and most people have but, when the person ends up ending it, you are left all alone not knowing what to do because you belived it. Then you finally get over it and there is no way you will ever be able to trust someone like that again. Then you meet this amazing person that you believe you cannot live without. I think that is when true love hits. When you know for a fact that this person will never hurt you and you can learn to trust and be happy again. To bad that is just a fairytale that I and many girls are dreaming of! There is not just a guy and a girl love there are many of other loves too. There is friendship love, family love, and many others. I know that my close friends and family will always be there for me and I can come to them with anything.Without the love of my family and friends who knows where I or anyone would be today. Everyone needs someone to help them along the road whether we want to admit it or not. Both loves have something in common. They both need to grow over time to be true. Love is definitely easier said then done. Basically, love is and always has been complicated.

Today's Modern Love

Love in today's modern world is so wrong from what love really should be. I believe love should be real compassion you have for a person. Whether the person you say you love is your friend, family member, or a special someone there should be some kind of compassion. Today people say they "love" someone, but they don't really mean it. They base their"love" on looks, rather than on the connection. I also believe you need time to get to know a person before you can say you really love them. When I say "time" I don't mean just days or months, I mean years. I have only experienced one kind of love, though; the love of my friends and family. To me, this love is just as important as love of a boyfriend and girlfriend. So, although I have never experienced true love I know when I do know it will be the right person. It has to be a person that makes me feel truly happy. That is what I think love is.

What "Love" Means to Me

To most, love is just a lie. Saying,"I love you" loses its truth more and more everyday. From the mouth of a better man than I,"Love is just a way to get to get into some one's pants." Everyone just wants to be happy and they believe that saying they love someone will bring them happiness. But in reality, all it does is lead to the heartbreak of a plastic love. People base their love on looks and could care less about the true compatibility. Having said that, I must add that true love does exist. A perfect example being my grandparents, married for forty nine years, two children, and still their love is bright and powerful. That is true love, going through life with somebody who truly means the world to you. I strongly believe that "love at first sight" is absolutely ridiculous. That is basing your love completely on looks and that is ridiculous. One day I hope to be able to experience a true love and not a fake, plastic love.

whats true love?

I believe love can be an amazing thing and it can be tossed around like a ball. Day to day people say they “love” someone after a day or two of just meeting them, this I do not believe is what love really is. I don’t believe some people really know what love is because it is used more than the word “like,” that is rarely ever used anymore. Love should take time and only get stronger as it goes on. Love should be giving up something for the person that you love even if you don’t want to. It has to build up and get stronger over time. If you really love someone then you love them 24 7. You don’t stop loving them just because you’re mad at them or they’re mad at you. It shouldn’t be something you can turn on and off. There’s people who do it to go along with the crowd, people who think they know what it is, and then there’s people who know what it is and have been married for fifty years. If you ask these people what true love is then it’s probably the closest thing to the true definition of love. Those are my opinions of love and what it truly is.

Love All Around

Love is a strong, positive emotion of regard and affection. My definition of love is when you
can put yourself last for someone or something. Love affects everyone on this planet. It can
change a person's life forever. You can love your friends, your wife or husband, and your mom or
dad. People do not even have to love a person; they can love food, music, God, or sports.
There are lots of ways to express love. You can hug someone, kiss someone, give a person a gift,
or do something on your own time for them. I show my parents I love them by, occasionally,
making them breakfast in the morning. Love also lasts beyond this world. My grandpa
passed away four years ago and I still love him in my heart, even though he is not with us today.
You can hold on to love forever. Love can make a big impact on people, but it also makes a big
impact on animals. Not too long ago, there was an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Many birds and
other wildlife were covered in oil. We showed our love for these animals & our environment by
cleaning them. People showed a love for our culture during this time by raising money for
those affected by the spill. Many hours were spent cleaning oil in the Gulf to help protect the
seafood industry which is such an important part of Louisiana. There are many ways to show love
and be loved. As for what I love, I love God, my family, friends, music, and food.

An Undefinable Word

Love is such a difficult term to define. Each person has his or her own definition. Love is really anything you want to be. You could refer to true love, splashed across all forms of media stretching back hundreds of years. This could also be called Eros love, the romantic sort between a couple. There is familial love, the love of your family and even those very close to you. Philos love is the love between friends, a love everyone experiences at some point. There is agape, which is absolute, unconditional love. This is one of the three mains forms of love and considered the highest form. To me, this is the love of God, but it is different for everyone. The one part of love that is inescapable is heartbreak it will bring, no matter the type. If the love is pure and true, though, it can bring incredible joy, which to me is worth more than any pain it could bring. Love is something all of us experience at some point in life, in some form. It should be up to you how to define it and how to show love to others too.

Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.

A Selfless Act of Affection

Love is ridiculous, to say the least. I have nothing against it, but seeing as it is misunderstood on a day to day basis, it is quite irritating. At our age, most are ready to supposedly commit at first sight, and in my opinion, that isn't love in the slightest. Love is something that takes time, something that grows between people, and something that is rightly treasured and sought by most. It is willing to do practically doing anything to help or please the person you hold this affection towards, whether it be family, friends, or your significant other. However, many use the allusion of love to suit their own selfish dispostions. Love for me, is waiting, respecting, and so much more. It is lifting someone up and encouraging them when they are in need. Love is showing affection and feeling completely comfortable around someone, regardless of the situation. It is understanding and respecting someone's values, regardless of your view on the matter. To love someone is to serve them, to be there for them. That is something that most seem to lack, and their supposed love quickly fails as soon as any complications or any adversity is placed in front of them. The only love I have ever experienced was from my Savior and the center focus of my life. Jesus sought, and continues to seek, to love us passionately and to serve in any way possible, forgiving our sins along the way. Whether we allow Him to or not, it is completely up to the individual. It is something that truly has helped every aspect of my life, and I am forever grateful. Love is something that is absolutely life changing and will make you or break you in the end.

The One Emotion I Can Not Hide

Love is a strong emotion, it can get you good with people but also can get you in trouble. Some people say they love someone but they do not know the real meaning of love. Well true love is when you and your best friend are always there for each other. You would do anything to keep him happy and he would do anything to keep him happy. Another type of love is when you and this girl really likes you. She always makes you happy even when you are sad. You always think about her and would do anything to anything to be with her and keep her happy. Another example is when you and your sister are always there for each other no matter how hard y'all home life can get. When your sister tells you stuff and that she says she never wants me to leave her,then that's what true love is. Y'all could never leave each other or betray her because you protect her and she means the world to you. The last example of true love is when you and your teammates are always there. The love of teammates is the most awesome feeling because y'all are always there for each other on and off the field. Y'all work as a team on the field and will be there for each other off the field.

Everyone's least favorite emo.

I do not understand love. I am also not going to shove my opionions of love down your throat. I am everyone's least favorite emo, so i am not shown this overly complicated "love" often, and when I do see it, it is almost never dirrected towards me. So from my perspective I am on the outside looking in. My religion has told me love is pure, but due to today's society I see it merely as a way to get in someone's pants. Love is an over used, over rated emotion and I think people should reconsider thier defenition of love. It is due to these conditions that i believe love does not exist. I sometimes wonder if I were to die, would anyone care? Would anyone even notice I was gone? I answer these questions with a simple "no". If as humans we are supposed to love and care for one another, how can i answer these questions with such ease? I believe that the mythical love that everyone speaks of, is dead. I do not try to discourage love, if already found, I just have not been as lucky. I have not found love. Thank you for reading.

Love With Actions, Not With Words

What exactly is love? Love is having a deep passion for someone or something. You can have love for anything like a sport, a favorite food, or someone special. God said, “Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” -1 John 3:18. In our society, we use the word love conveniently. Everyone seems to use this four letter word as a common word, and has forgotten what love really is. Love is not having a boyfriend or girlfriend, and after two days of dating, you tell them that you love them. I do not believe in love at first sight, because love is more than just looks. In order to love someone, you have to know them as a person. The love that I have experienced is the love from my family. My family has showed their love for me by providing for me, supporting me, and encouraging me to do my best. Most importantly, they are there for me when life does not work out as planned. Love is special, and you should never take it for granted.

L.O.V.E.

Love is used very often now a days. People use love as if it is an ordinary word and has little meaning. The truth is, love is a very powerful word meaning to have strong, passionate affection for something or someone. Love can be true, real, puppy love, love at first sight, and love that ends roughly. People may love things that bring them bliss and pleasure. Love can bring good times and high spirits. Nevertheless, love can also bring tears and heartache. When someone loves another but that other does not return mutual feelings, the lover is left in a depression. The old love can be replaced with a new, more exciting adoration. Love can be sneaky, and creep up on you whenever you least expect to fall in love. Love gives warm feelings of great happiness and charm, and those feelings make you feel as if nothing else matters. Even though love can be a roller coaster of emotions, "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."-Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem In Memoriam:27, 1850.

Love is...

What is love? Love, to me can be many different things. It can come in many different ways, and can come in many different forms. Love can change someone's life in positive or negative ways. It can bring someone happiness and joy. Unfortunately, love can even cause sadness and pain. Love is romance and friendship. We demonstrate love through kindness and loyalty. It is forgiveness, and rejoicing. Love also means a willingness to sacrifice. Sacrificing our own needs and wants by seeking to fulfill the wants and needs of someone we love. Love is time because we set aside time for those we love. Love should also be everlasting through time and difficult to replace. Love is a song, a memory, or perhaps even a little glimpse of Heaven.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:8

An Overly Used Word

Love is an overly used word, which not a large number of people really know the meaning of. So here’s to those people who don’t know the meaning to the word love, or even think they know what love is!

So what is love exactly? I say love is different to everyone. There is no set definition to love. To me love is pure, having no faults, it is honestly felt. Love is that feeling of butterflies in your belly, the weak knees, the pounding of your heart, and non-stop thought of the other person. People say they love someone because of the way they look. That isn't love. Love is when you can't do anything without thinking about that person, you always want to be with them; that is when love is unconditional.

After all, it has sparked wars and ended feuds. For example, the play "Romeo and Juliet." Love has also in scandalous difference, brought out the sinister side in all of us. People have murdered for love, stolen, hurt, and abused. To some people love is non-existent until it is shown to others. Love can be shown to others by simply just giving a hug, making the other person feel respected and important, being there for them, or even doing homework together. Love is just showing you care for them, whoever it shown to!
