i've read this on friendster's bulletin board awhile ago. i found it rather nice. what does love really mean?!
True enough, when we were teenagers it was a question which we loved to answer in slumbooks. It remains a topic that creates giggles and shrieks whenever friends talk about it. But does one really know what love is? We often mistake it for a crush, an infatuation or Sometimes, even for the sheer joy in companionship. Sometimes, we think it's a feeling that we have when our hearts continue throbbing hard when we see that special person. Or when our knees start to shake and begin to weaken.But can anyone really define love? I don't think so, not even the ones who think they have felt it, or those who are feeling it, or those who hope they will feel it. Not even my philosophy teacher. Because love is not something that you define... it's a decision.When you feel that you love one person, how can you tell that he or she won't feel the same way for the next person who comes along? Love is not a feeling, it's a decision. 'Coz, when it's a feeling, it is something that floats in the air, something you cannot touch or dare to comprehend.Love, when it's a decision, makes it solid, makes it a commitment, makes it more lasting and more real. You can feel that you can be in love 20 million times in a day, but when you decide to be in love, you can only decide to be in love with one person once in your lifetime. You commit and you hold on to that decision. And when you turn your back on that decision, it means YOU WERE NEVER IN LOVE IN THE FIRST PLACE.Love should never fade. Because when it does, it means it's just an emotion. Love will never fade because a decision, once done, is something you stand up for and fight for -- no matter what.What does "I love you" mean? Some people find it easy to say the words but what really matter is being ready to stand up for it when you say those words. Are you ready to face all the consequences after saying those magical words?If you can say "I love you" long after all the tough times, all the good times and after all the words that come hurting you, then the meaning of those words become real.Of course, I still believe in those words but I myself am afraid to say them. I know there will come a time when I won't be afraid of those words coming out of my mouth. When I will be strong enough to fight for love again. And I can say the words "no matter what".Saying "I love you" is a major decision in one's life. Those words should be sacred, should be kept in your heart until you are ready to commit, to fight for that feeling and to stand by those words...
i agree with the brief description of love right here. but love is not only a decision, its also a choice. i believe that love never fades, but it becomes less. we love someone eventhoug we don't get some friggin lovin in return. but in the end, we'll get tired of loving that person and you'll end up finding someone who can love you back. saying 'i love you' to someone is never easy. you should be sure of your feelings, when you utter those three words, there is no more taking back. when you say it, you should be ready to face all the challenges that you and your partner shall undergo. when you can still 'i love you' after all the challenges, hurts, pains, and all that has been said and done, then the meaning of the magical words are true to you.
JUST LOVE AND NEVER ASK! accept your partners PAST with all your heart and soul and of course without hesitations! past should be tackled up anymore, start a new! :) don't ive up on each other that easy!
