What is love? Is it as Tina Turner once lyricized, “a second hand emotion?” Is it expressed physically? Or when, the saying goes, “love is pain,” where does it actually hurt? Pain- a physical pain, or emotional? Both?
Take a moment and actually sink it in.
So when asked, “what is love?” What is the correct answer?
I’ve come to realize, the myth of love lies softly on a sheer veil of : compromise, common ground, and respect.
Compromise -He gives a little, she gives a little, and they both meet in the middle.
Common Ground -Where the guy and the girl set ground rules to what is expected out of their relationship.
Respect - Self-respect, respect for kin-ship and family, and thus transforming into learned respect for your significant other.
The idea of love has been projected as a thoughtful and selfless emotion towards another with the support of these aspects. However, if it takes three attributes, such as the ones I've just mentioned, then why call it “love?” Why not call it what it really is?
An agreement with disagreements (Compromise), a working foundation (Common ground), “you scratch my back, I scratch yours” (Respect).
-- We all have our own ideas for love. Each person defines it in their own ways, basing it on their past experiences or simply, their thoughts. I've just let you in on my perspective and now I want to be informed by your OWN words that may identify as "love." Yes it's risky to categorize it in such areas, but it has a vivid perspective.
Although our definition of love may vary, the term will remain the same, so get active!
