What is True Love?

Is it possible to have love at first sight? People can meet their loved ones without even knowing them. Just looks or words can attract two people. There is a play about a situation just like it named “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare. They meet

What is Love? Does anyone really know the meaning of the word? Does it have a different meaning to different people? In Kipnis’s essay “Love Labors”, Laura Kipnis touches on many different aspects of love. This is a touchy subject simply because love brings out many different opinions and beliefs. Kipnis argues over the fact that in order to have a good relationship and love someone people have to be able to meet certain requirements, which are mutuality, communication, and advanced intimacy.

All three sources claim that love at first sight is real. By using science and experiments, this claim can be backed up with evidence. Some people believe that love at first sight is real, while others don’t really believe it. It usually takes time to get to know someone and fall in love, but love at first sight may actually occur in a situation.

The questions of "How much is physical, how much in the mind? How much accident and how much fate?” are asked to Wanderer during the novel and she answers it with “Love simply is where it is.” This answered all of my questions, Jared loves Melanie for her mind just as much as her body and Wanderer in the end of the book is inserted into a new body but Ian still loves her in this new body and Wanderer in this new body still loves Jaime, so “Love simply is where it is.” This makes me think about the idea of ‘true love’ or ‘love at first sight’ are either of these things truly possible, I believe that these things in a way can be possible for example, you could see someone for the first time and have your attraction to them but you could never know what the future holds you just know that you are attracted to them. This can be seen in game shows such as ‘Take Me Out’, in a part of this game show the competitor writes down their ‘love at first sight’, and the end of their game the female has the choice of finding out who the man’s ‘love at fight sight’ was, most of the time they aren’t the person the man wrote, but sometimes it is, this shows that love can be anywhere and its not

However, this arguement simply is not valid because you can not meet someone and instantly fall in love as soon as you meet someone.. Like with

People fall in love all the time and it always starts with a look. In my opinion this will never go away. The impacts of love at first sight depends on how far it goes. Is it just a passing glance between two people that leads to nothing? Is it the start of a romantic interlude? In the movie Casablanca Rick and Ilsa fall in love with each other; however, Ilsa was still in love with someone else and she had no closure. Rational people get to know each other first, this is part of the excitement of building a relationship with someone. The majority of marriages end in divorce, this movie feeds into that statistic, had Rick and Ilsa gotten married it more than likely would have ended in divorce based of a lack of knowing their partner.

Being teens, it can be easy to confuse love with lust and desire. Lusting is a great need to have sex with a certain person. And desire is almost like lust, but desire is not just with sex, desire can be targeted at either a person, or even an object. The wanting of a person is most common though, like in Romeo and Juliet, where Romeo lusts after Juliet after seeing her at a party. And in fact, we can even connect a saying into this, we all know the saying "Love at first sight," but that may not truly exist. It could, and probably should be known as "lust at first sight," but not love. I don't think you can walk into a building see someone and immediately fall in love with them, at least I hope not you'd be known as a Romeo.

Some people believe there is someone in the world that is their true love while others believe that you fall in love with a person after getting to know them. Romeo and Juliet, a pair of star-crossed lovers are believed by some to have been true love. While there is no proof of this, it is hard to believe in instantly falling in love with someone. What Romeo and Juliet had was not true love but merely infatuation because Romeo was impulsive, Juliet was inexperienced and they had spent a limited time together.

‘A feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, partner, or friend.’ this is the dictionary definition of love in today’s society. The idea of love throughout the Shakespearean time is ‘love at first sight,’ most of William Shakespeare's plays involve a character being swoon by another only hours after meeting. And shortly after meeting, they are wed. However, love is not presented the same way in the play Twelfth Night. Shakespeare’s use of a strong female character like Olivia, in his play Twelfth Night, he challenges the idea of marrying for love.

In my own opinion I will explain to you if I think love at first sight is real. I believe that love at first glance isn't real because you truly have no idea who that person is. If you like somebody because of their looks, it's from lust or desire, not love. You have to know the person, not just go out and propose to every single, pretty person out there, otherwise it could actually lead to bad decisions and later can harm you.

Falling with someone is natural feeling that can happen anytime, but so many time when a girl first falling with a man, they are fail. The first problem normally come from lack of taking care about appearance. First impression is very important and help to increase the attention from men. The second is no self-respected, self-respecting can make a girl look more sexy, attractive and can make sure that a man love the way she is. The last but not least is misunderstanding about a nature of men.

One word thrown around is Love. People use it for everything, whether you are describing your love for pancakes or your significant other, love is a noun used by all. Despite how common this word is, almost everyone has their own specific definition. People apply personal meaning to love, meaning that they attach it to a person or an idea that they themselves come up with, but if you think that stopped people from defining love you are dead wrong. In total, there are nine different definitions of love and that is just on one site. I do not find this surprising at all, since the beginning of time love has been present and I will go on a quest to try and define as many definitions that I can get my hands on, starting with the origin of “love”

"I wanna love you and treat you right; I wanna love you every day and every night: We'll be together with a roof right over our heads; We'll share the shelter of my single bed; We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread. Is this love - is this love - is this love - Is this love that I'm feelin'?"--- Bob Marley. Bob Marley wrote and sang about love just like hundreds of people before him. His idea of true love was sharing with someone in order to meet the basic needs and spiritual way of life. The security of a relationship is one important part of a complex number of needs that have to be met for truelove to exist. The Merrian Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, defines “truelove” as

Love is “an intense feeling of attraction”. This is how Webster’s Dictionary defines love. It is much more complicated than that though, or maybe we just make it out to be more complicated, either way it’s hard to explain. A few words that characterize love for me are sacrifice, safe, comfortable, commitment, selfless, trust, and bond. Love is more than just a word, it’s an action. It is accepting and appreciating someone for who they are regardless of their flaws and trusting that you’ll stick by one another through thick and thin. It’s caring about another person’s well-being and happiness more than your own. There are different ways of expressing your love for another person. There is the romantic love, where there is sexual chemistry

What is love? The type of love I’m describing is the one that gives you butterflies when a certain person comes to mind. Just seeing that particular person can be enough to make one smile and make your day and all the worries go away. Right now that person comes to mind. It’s neither a crush nor infatuation and many are willing to do anything for this thing that is called love. Love can hurt in the long run, and people can also be blinded by it.
