Ive bookmarked your blog since I truly like it.
I really like the fresh perpective you did on the issue. Really was not expecting that when I started off studying. Your concepts were easy to understand that I wondered why I never looked at it before. Glad to know that there's an individual out there that definitely understands what he's discussing. Great job

Love is a responsible choice to whom you want to spent the rest of your life with. It involves two different individual with unique attitude and character but is directed with profound love to lasts forever. Spirituality is involved as the center of the relationship. Understanding, respect, trust, faithfulness, harmony, forgiving, joy, openness and a sense of humor are the most important ways to live with life....But there's no perfect relationship...Expect conflict but through mistakes we learn to forgive and forget and learn our mistakes as we face the challenges in love and life.
love is happines. We can't explain why this things grow in our heart and it is always there willing to feel the happiness and joyfullness. Sometimes love bring trouble in our life but in a contrary it is a lessons for everybody and it will help us to be wise in the next chapter of our life.
i have experienced love at many times. It is just love the unconditional love. it is pure magic abd state of blissfull ness. if we attach words like possesiveness or expectation to it, it will loose its fragrance and fly way. love is your being love is the thread that ties the universe
Love is getting to be aware that you and the whole creation share the same energy. Once you realize that you and the other have this divine energy how can you hurt him?It is as if you are hurting yourself if you do.Love is also he energy that binds you to all that is from one cell beings to the biggest of planets. It is this force that sustains and keeps.The problem is, however, how can we change our awareness?
Love ... is something that I haven't experienced...yet. This is what I believe.
On the other hand Love is what we are made of. This is not to be confused with what we have created our selves, our ego. We transformed Love in ego and now ego needs to be cleared from our Heart.
Love is not complicated, it seems complicated because we are wounded, and looking through our wounds is never authentic. And so I am a warrior of Light.
Love and Light, Cat
May we all have it in abundance.
Regards!
"Love" is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.
~~Robert A. Heinlein
Nothing on earth makes me happier than to see joy in the eyes of my beloved because of some act of mine! I 'love' watching him respond to the visible signs of my love for him.
However, it is important for me to remember to love *myself* first, for *I* must be healthy and happy enough to recognize and 'give' the little gifts that show my love to him. Sometimes, another person has a gift that gives my beloved some joy and how can I begrudge that, simply because another person provides it? I thank 'that' person...no jealousy, just a bit more joy that I can give him, happily and with trusting love.
This man, my beloved, shares this lifetime with me by choice, to teach and be taught by me. *I* am the blessed one, that he shares himself with me and accepts my love.
>smile<
First and foremost, we are playful friends who recognize how very fortunate we are to be allowed to 'recognize' each other in this lifetime and in these bodies which we enjoy in every way!
Oh my!! I sound like a teenager with her first crush. I am in fact 56 years old, have known him for 35 years and oh oh oh, how wonderful to still feel so very much for and from him!
I do hope that YOU smile as you read this: I would like to feel that something in here has made *you* happy ..and why??
Because I love YOU!!!
love is the recognising of the godlike spirit inside us and resonating that to the world. It has to come from within first.
Most of us seek love outside ourselves... we seek someone to make us feel better, good etc...
I have worked for ten years under the banner of helping people find love and am now disillusioned because they THINK it comes from outside... and they THINK it fills a hole...
Love is a divine concept...
with love

"Beng in love"( as in arelationship) is that intense state of mind where your attitude is so positive towards your beloved that you are ready to accept him for what he is and give more than you get and just feel happy to see him happy...very selfless at first but how long does it last ? Slowly the desire to keep it in a particular way, to elicit the same responses everytime and be in a constant high can lead to obsessive behaviour.
Instead when we work on our attitude alone and try to remain positive no matter what to no matter who, we don't need to "be in love" or look to be in a state of high at all. We take resposnibility for all our actions and become "loving" which is awonderful feelig that lasts forever...
Our attitude canmake all the difference...
you are absoultely right on the spot - Yes!
LOVE is a Positve Viewpoint!
So simple and yet so Accurate!

Love is a decision.
If I decide to love, I then begin to see and admire the good things about someone and I tend to ignore or at least, not let bother me, the things I dislike. Love grows.
I spend time with the person, I find ways to do things that please them because it makes me feel good. Love grows.
I could go on, maybe make a poem out of this but what does it all come down to?
Attitude.
You are right on the money, Burt.
Joy
love is a reaction to something or someone.
