WHAT IS LOVE?

In class on Wednesday we talked about love. When speaking on the word love there is so many different types of love.  In class we said that you could have love for food, children, places, a person, an object or a hobby. There are so many different ways that we could use the word love and see the word love. As for a person you can have friend love or relationship love. Love for food something that you might always want. A place where it’s something that you always have to see, when it comes to a hobby something that you always have to do or when it comes to an object something you always have around or you can’t see your yourself letting it go. Looking into all the different details about the form of love they all are a love that it’s something we cannot live without.  When it comes to a person we truly say we love them but once that person hurts you, you soon to let it go.  What makes love such an easy thing to say but we don’t love, love hard enough to hold on to love just as soon as something goes wrong? According to the subjects that I just gave a brief description on, what is your perception of love? Could love for these things be unconditional love?  Or could they be seasonal love? One thing for sure we will never know the real reason to love, we will never always agree to the same meaning of love but we all know some form of love. So what could love really be? There are so many things we can say about love there is so many different way we could put love because one thing for sure no one love is the same love.

  1. Well, humans are not objects, hobbies or foods. Humans that you 'love' are things that you feel cannot really change. The way I see love with a person is like a car. When a car doesn't start, we do not immediately throw the car away. We will check what is wrong, check the motor, the engine, the gas, the tires, everything. If we can't find the problem ourselves, we take it to someone who specializes in fixing cars and let them fix it. Then we pay to have it fixed so that it can run again and we go on driving that car. You don't always do that with a person. Sometimes, we look a problem in a relationship with a person and just say it is broken and turn that person away. Because we feel that we cannot fix a person like a car, humans are more complex; it is not like we can open up their heads and see what the problem is. And we are more ready to give up on a person that anything else.
    In my opinion, I wouldn't call it love if you threw someone away for one betrayl or miscommunication. It seems shallow and more like a crush then true love. Then again, what is love?

  2. I think love is one of those topics that is hard to agree on because it is very subjective. I think that for the most part our views on love depends on the spectrum of life that we live. For example, while many artists could gather around and draw the same model, the outcome of their drawings could be completely different from one another. The reason for this is because although the model is the same, their perspective of the model was very different. The same thing happens with the topic of love, we could all feel love for someone/something yet the type of love we have towards it would depend on the position that we stand. I think that our perspective on the people or things that surrounds us defines the type of love we give wether it is: Eros, storge, agape, and/or philia.

  3. Love is a feeling of the mind, it only exists if you really care for the person enough to the point to where you would do anything for them. Loving regular objects is different from the other, it's just a strong infatuation because you wouldn't put your life on the line for it

  4. If you truly love someone then letting go of them is not a option. That is not love in my opinion love is not seasonal. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
    8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. This to me the is real definition of love
