1. Words are cheap. A picture is worth 1000 words. Actions speak louder than words. So why then do we place such value on the things that are said about us? It's kind of contradictory don't you think?
2. And so the circle of life continues, but does anything really change? The world has moved on, but do we move on with it? Or are we just clinging desperately to the shadow of who we once were instead of embracing the changes that have occured within since the last time we checked?
3. Do you ever feel that people's expectations of their relationships are too demanding? Isn't it sad when people become so wrapped up in their false standard for a partner in a relationship, that they miss the good around them? Maybe this is just a way of controlling the population of the western world: raise everyone's expectations so high that no one breeds, and eventually we all just die off cursing ourselves for our ridiculous idealism.
4. Does no one else believe that sometimes, maybe even a majority of the time you have to learn to love someone. Isn't that more satisfying than just 'falling in love'? If you learn how to do something you're less likely to forget it, as opposed to falling which always ends with some form of a landing. In my experience love is not about the feeling so much as it about the commitment of the heart and its secrets to someone else to hold them in trust. Love = Commitment. There is no other way to a successful relationship. (P.S. Don't forget a lion's share of forgiveness).

Wow some of that was depressing but whatever, i have seen your mood in the last two days. #4. I was reading something on love the other day that really struct me. It was devo that concentrated on Love as an additude not a feeling. I 100% agree with it. Love is the way you act towards some one. The way you want to treat some one that you care about. What you feel is lust and addoration and security. Feelings can change and you can be mad at some one you love but you still have the additude of Love.
So, are you two saying that learning to love someone has more foundation then falling in love with someone?
Does that mean that all these people (maybe even me) are wasting their time searching for love? Should we instead be learning to love someone rather then searching for one to love?!
What if you fell in love with someone, could you not learn to love them more?
I would say thar learning to love is a stronger foundation in most cases, simply because it is a process of getting to know someone and accepting them as they are.
I don't feel that just simply falling for someone is a sufficient grounds on which to build a long-term lasting relationship.
As for searching for love, take it in the context of my points 2 & 3, i think people are waiting for perfection which is not possible, and don't look at what reality is providing, and keep holding out for something impossible.
Hey Rod,
Don't you think that it could be that you need to fall in love (b/c thats the best love) and then learn to love that person even more so that you can make it through life together?
Hope ur doing good!
I agree, that falling in love in the beginning is a good thing, but I'm trying to point out that that is not necessarily how a relationship is maintained.
This was more of a shake-up comment anyway, b/c a lot of ppl in my college have fairy tale views of love, so I'm trying to say that sometimes a relationship is a lot of work.
THANK YOU! I can't believe the fairy tale views that people have. I'm sorry, but love is a lot of work. It won't be successful if you don't put the work into it. And sometimes it's hard work too.
Putting God in the middle always helps to. Nothing like having the all powerful God on your side ;0).
