Current mood: confused
Subject: When did the definition change
I geuss I'm confused! When did people change the definition of love. Last time I check love was a choice, but as you all seem to think it's some emotion that you are completely helpless to control who you love. i personally disagree. Love is a choice that you make. It's not something that is just there. You work for it, you bleed for it, cry for it, die for it! Maybe that's the problem with relationships today, and marriages, people are just expecting it to click and be perfect, and that's not it at all. You learn to love somebody, and choice to love them, your not chosen to. God calls us all to love everybody, which means that you can learn to love somebody. Love requires constant vigelence!!!

Love- a choice and dedications that requires sacrafise and time, but in the end is worth it all!!!

you're right love is a choice, a hard one, too.

i know, that's why i have finally come to be able to say that i do in deed, love my father. this is the first time i have ever said it.

Aw, Kristy...

Yes, sir, towel boy, sir. You're absolutely correct, sir.

CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!

I'm silly...well...Katie started it!!

I swear! Oh....

I should comment on the entry I'm commenting on...

Um...I agree. It's a choice. It doesn't fade as many will say but you just change and your choice to love that person does too.

So, yes sir, Nick sir. You are correct.

CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!

choices are hard to make when it comes to the thing of love. you never know what the right choice is untill you made the wrong one

Finally! Thank you, Nick. Someone else finally put up their veiw on the subject!

Another thought: I we don't love each other, who we have seen with our own eyes, then how can we love God who we haven't seen? Just something that's struck me recently.

I'm reading a book right now called The Four Loves by CS Lewis that I would reccommend to everyone (so far, I havn't finished). And of course the Bible has much to say on the subject.

ok hang on here. Yeah your right love is a choice. but this wasen't love. hate to say it but at our age we have no idea what true love is. it is something we will find out later. Love is when you have been there for each other through everything, and i mean everything. we wont know true love till we have been married to somebody for a very long time, probably in this day and age if you stay with one person your whole life(in marriage) you wont have found true love till your dieing day. we just don't understand love people. kids can't. and i'm not trying to be all knowing and stuff becuse i'm not i just wanted to put out what my heart tells me. This relationship between jess and nick was just i dunno how to word it but i guess it was just kind of a mutual crush. it wasen't love. so what happened was jess liked nick and then she started to like ben which although it may hurt alot is perfectly normal. yeah ok i'll shut up now. alright gotta go talk later!

But here is the true question. Why is there a age limit on love. When God said in the Bible to love thy neighbor as thy self, I expect that he would say anyone over 21 or 18 love. But he didn't. Actually in the bible it says that we have to believe and love like children to get to heaven. Jesus was only 33 and I believe he knew what true love was.

true true. but listen that is a different kind of love, what God was talking about was care for everyone, u know like brotherly and sisterly love. i was talking about that special person that u wanna marry and stuff love. like here's an example, i love my brother but i wouldn't wanna go out with him or marry him. so yeah i dunno it is all very confusing. oh well
