the honeymooners era is fun.. and its the begining of something beautiful.. but its also not as 'real'. its still new, your still getting comfortable with eachother... learning new things about eachother, and thats what makes it non stop laughs and ups and downs. After a while things even out.. you can do things with the person you never thought you could. you can fight with eachother without worrying that they'll think ur psycho and break up with you, because you both feel so strongley for eachother that you know it will mend. Once you get extremely comfortable with someone you have a life partner, someone to bounce ideas off of.. somone to help guide you. You still get butterflies in your tummy... just not all the time. Alot of the butterflies from the honeymooners era, are from nervousness, and being unsure of yourself.. the ones in the later years are nostalgalistic memories about first meetings, first kisses etc. Those are the precious moments that you'll cherish throughout your entire relationship.
Love can hurt though, like the pain of a thousand knives, or a mountain exploding into a rockslide in your stomach when you get so hurt that you think you dont want to love the person anymore. or when you come to the realization that someone doesnt love you anymore. Nothing can describe that pain of rejection. It feels like your dying, because all you want to do is vanish. You dont wanna be w/ someone who maes u feel that way anyways... and if by chance the person you love does make you feel like this.. then hopefully they love you enough to realzie they hurt you and change and make it better. When you can work through the tuffest problems with someone and still look at them with the same affection as when you first said "i love you" then you know you've won. |

I haven't gone through this whole thread to read what everyone wrote, so bear with me if someone else has written this.
anyways.. I think love is best described by this story.... it was christmas time, and a husband and his wife were trying to buy gifts for each other. since they were both poor, the wife decided to sell her most prized possession: her beautiful, long hair, so she could buy her husband a fob and chain for his watch. the husband, who's prized possession was his fancy, expensive watch decided to sell it so that he could buy his wife a fancy comb for his wife. --Joanne :P |

I think love (generally) is the external reflection of internal feelings of bliss/happiness/etc. when we "love" something or someone, its normally because those feelings arise when we are in the presence or possession of something/someone we love... of course, it can cause a great deal of pain and suffering when we aren't in the presence or possession of what we love... thats when the bitter jadedness kicks in... but thats just generally speaking... and forms of love like compassion are a much more difficult thing to describe...

another question..
do you need reasons to love someone.. should you know why you love a person? can you make a list of the things you can't stand about a person but struggle on the things that you like.. but feel that you just fit? is that love? or weakness |

wow.. good ideas errbady.
i think that love cannot be pinpointed or described because the way everybody feels about has alot to do with thier past experiences, and the person they love (or think they love) sometimes it takes a while to really fall for a person, sometimes you know right away. you think you know what love is until you fall in love again. |

i can already smell the bad karma coming, but here it is anyways. realize that falling in love with someone is just the result of a series of generic events that can occur between you and basically anyone who meets your standards of attractiveness. it's just an emotional manifestation of a handful of chemicals bouncing back and forth. it's not the holy grail of living, it's not your reason to exist and it's definitely not something reserved for 'that one person.' accept that you are just an animal with a big brain that allows him to fret over what only amounts to a game of hormone pool. this is just to stir up the thread a bit, im not trying to troll, cause whats the point of trolling love. another question for the thread though, do you feel right and normal about the feelings you get when youre high on e? do you not later realize "oh wow, i was so into this person at the time, maybe its cause i was just high"
i know its happened to me. |

a cynic is someone who knows the cost of everything but the value of nothing.
im sure many others are well aware that we are just animals with big brains and raging hormones, but it is our ability to describe the indescribable that makes us human, and that is what we are attempting to do here. although you are right, that doesnt make anyone else wrong. love is an intangible, personal experience. |
