Outlaw Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 I beleve people have a natural subconsious desire to find that one person who makes them feel really special (either that or someone that will give them play), and when they find that one person, they cannot live without them, because after that, nothing seems quite as fulfilling as spending time with them.

PiroMunkie Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 [SIZE=1]Lol, well according to Calvin (of Calvin & Hobbes) his theory is that [i]"Love is nothing but a biochemical reaction to make sure our genes get passed on."[/i] :laugh: But on a more serious note, I don't know, I honestly don't know. This whole "love" idea is starting to appear more and more in my life, and I'll tell ya, it's pretty confusing because everything starts to make sense. Ya, I don't believe I'm in love right now, more in like... but just thinking.. a punk like me? In love? Is that possible? I honestly never thought that I'd ever fall in love with anyone, but, hey, anything can happen...[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*GaLxY-GiRl* Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 [COLOR=indigo]People fall in love, because we've been brain-washed to do so. Love isn't so great; biochemically, no different than eating large sums of chocolate. Why do we fall into love? Better yet, why do we feel obligated to? Love, more often than not(according to statistics), leads to an unhappy marriage, a messy divorce, and psychopathic, depressed, and/or scarred children.... [i]"Falling in love"[/i].... isn't it painfully true? -Always leads to [i]some sort[/i] of pain...[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an extremely pessimistic person, and yes, my glass is [b]always[/b] [i]three quarters[/i] empty... :p :) The thing is, I enjoy the good aspects of life, and criticize the bad ones. I guess I'm kinda hypocritical, as well. In all honesty, I've never experienced a .... "partner(lol?)" type love. The love that I've had, and lost.... has always been family orientated. There's more than one way to fall in love, more than one type of person to fall into it with, and definately, more than one way to fall [i]out[/i]. My circumstances with love, and all of its [i]greatness[/i] has made me a slightly bitter, and unpleasant person (I just see no purpose for love, anymore).... I'm sorry for subjecting everyone here, to my opinions.... I didn't realize I may have saddened anyone at the time, of my initial posting.

Kain Posted December 15, 2001 Author Share Posted December 15, 2001 You will never know why to more than half the questions you ask.And don't you see that everytime a question is answered another question related to the subject pops up.There for you can never answer a question fully.People don't fall in love.......they just don't want to be all alone when they die and they don't want to be alone when they are alive.That is why you think you fall in love.Only because you don't want to be alone.

I was just speaking in general about people needing to be more optimistic...I used to be a hugely pessimistic person so I know what it's like on that end of the spectrum. I still find myself slipping back into it a lot, but I tend to hide it and convince myself that something is good, not bad...believe it or not, it works ;)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Akito Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 Love, thats a hard to explain topic. It's just something that u feel when you meet someone who you like on the inside, and not the outside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven's Cloud Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 [color=indigo] Well I've never really be in love. I have been in relationships that passion, hormones, and common intrests keep us together for a long time. I guess it has to exist though, because I seem to be at a point in my life where passion alone won't cut it in a relationship:( I guess I also believe that it exists because I have friends that are truly in love:love: [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 Love love love......... hmm. :lecture: Well, I [i]personally[/i] have never been in love. I've not put myself or allowed myself to have that opportunity because I'm too young to do anything with it anyway. I think true [b]real[/b] love should result in marriage. Can anyone really come up with a concievable alternative when you've found the most absolutely wonderful person who thinks and feels the same way about you? Although that truly unending love is almost unfathomable to me, I know it's possible, which is why I'm willing to wait for however long it will take for me to find that 'special' person. on that note, I'd also like to say that I think that it is possible to have more than one 'ideal' person per person. Like, I've heard people say, 'well what if the one you're supposed to marry gets run over by a train, are you going to be all alone then?' I think that there are a couple of people out there who just rate really high on the compatability scale, and hopefully you'll run into at least one of these before you die. Great thought, eh? :whoops: Anyway, we as people aren't meant to be alone- for biological reasons or otherwise. That thwarts the whole plan of happiness! And yeah, there is such a thing, regardless of how bad your life has sucked thus far. No one has it easy all the time, and no one is doomed to a fate of knowing nothing but pain, either. I know that a lot of marriages end in divorce- that doesn't mean ALL marriages end in divorce. It's up to those two individuals to make it work, no one else. I myself have a rather bitter viewpoint on marriage myself. I can think of at least three important women in my family that have had to go through :cussing: because of the things their husbands did to them. And you know, for that I could just be like 'well since that happened to them, it's enevitably going to happen to me'. But that isn't logic, and I still have an optimistic view that their life is not my life, and that hopefully I will be married someday to a guy that loves me and all that good stuff. *looks over post* :babble: <------- yeah I know, sorry. :wave: :help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't fallen in love since then. But that's just because I haven't found anyone else that's worth all that trouble :blulaugh:. And I'm young- 17- I still have plenty of time left to look. And yeah..... I'm living without him. Heh, he's in another country right now, Mexico. But see, after a while, things just kinda...... settled....... we still talk off and on throught letters..... and all in all, it's best this way. And I know how you feel! I HATED him for a while, because of what I was feeling. And I knew that nothing could ever be the same.... and it isn't... but, things happen for a reason. I'm now confident that there's someone [i]better[/i] for out there. Just keep your chin up, you'll get through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 Wy do people fall in love.... thats like asking why a dog will sniff another dog's butt.... It's just natural instict. It just happens... why do people breathe? You were never tught to breathe.... As far as this topic goes, the whole "what is love" issue has been addressed in other topics and wasn't the meaning of this topic, therefor, it shall be closed.
