| User | Aknahlij_d 1 | | Topic | The "L" Word | | Message | now idk about you guys, but i can’t stand the word, at this point anyway. i’ve had it told to me, i’ve told it to people, i’ve seen people tell it to one another. every time, they didn’t mean it. today’s youth has no concept of what the fucking word means. to be in love means to put that person about anything else. for that to be said to you and then, not so much taken back, but more like to have you know that the other person didn’t mean it is hurtful. i just don’t like being hurt. speaking from experience here. |

| User | mae | 2005-06-30 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | As far as today’s youth having no concept of what love "is" - the youth of no generation has known - until it happened to them. Love is an emotion and an action that is common to all and unique to each. To really love someone is to lay open even your most hidden corners to that person - a most vulnerable position in which to find yourself. There is an absolutely HUGE potential for being hurt. But even the hurt helps you to grow as a human being, develop empathy, and in the end become better for having loved. That is, if you let yourself. Some people close themselves off because they don’t want to risk being hurt. When that happens, they find themselves - eventually - unwilling to love, unlikely to be loved and unable to grow. That’s a real shame. |
| User | Rokhal | 2005-06-29 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | People have been trying to define love for centuries. I’ll only take definitions that include an honest desire for another person’s good; that kind of love won’t turn spiteful, though it might be frustrating or painful. It doesn’t require an idealized image, just good will. |
| User | WolfStar | 2005-06-29 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Anthony DeMello’s philosophy is that we aren’t really in love with people, we are in love with an idealized image of a person, and fall out of love when that idea changes.
So I guess when we say "I love you", the word is as close to how we feel at the time, and all the connotations of the word help us along because we cannot think of ways ro express it otherwise.
But I meant love every time I’ve said it to a love interest. Sure that love has changed, but it is still love. I still love every guy who has ever hurt me or whom i was ever with. But the nature of that love changes over time, just as puppy love can become serious love over time.
Love is love. Time and growth may change the kind of love it is, but it is love nonetheless. I’ve been through a lot of hurt in relatioships. But I believe that once you love someone, you never really stop. It might lessen over time; it could become less central to your being, but the love never really stops. |

| User | Hidden_depths | 2005-06-29 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | It makes snse and what you say is true. It is very hurtful but loving is understanding aswell, so you have to understand why they say it. Do they not know what it is or do they not want to hurt your feelings by not saying it? There are many reasons. |
