What is love?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

definitions i dug up :

oxford:
strong feeling of deep affection for sth or sb/sth.

a book name undisclosed:
love is when you have an overwhelming urge to share everything in your life with the other person, and vice versa.

fellow TLRer:
when you feel you could die for the other person

as for me? its a combination of the above definitions. but as stated, definition of love varies between people. maybe its devotion, maybe affection, maybe passion. list goes on.

i think love is really defined by the heart and soul, and not by words. if we could speak a heart/soul language, i think the definition would ring clear and be uniform throughout the population, cause due to character, translation into words would differ for every person. ok that was a load of tosh.

True love is when someone is so important to you that you would lay down your life to protect them from harm.

@Indy

And let's not forget the ancient Romans, who viewed love as something to be endured. And who are you to judge me? This topic asked for our opinions on it and I gave sufficient warning, if you weren't strong enough to resist your own curiosity it's your own fault.

Friends are just people who have used each other so often it has become habitual.

I actually do view love as a blessing and a curse, there is the companionship and on the other there is the jealousy. Falling in love is great, you can make new friends, overcome old problems and have that feeling of euphoria and closeness that cannot be achieved in one night stand land. However on the other hand it can be quite tormenting, you can loose friends, alienate yourself and find yourself quite alone when it all goes sour. It's a fine line I tell ya, no-one should ever enter love blindly, it's not the perfect picture it's made out to be in the movies. If you fall in love, I guarentee you that you will have to suffer, sacrifice and work for it. It's never 100% perfect and no-one ever lives happily ever after.

@fisch,

I disagreed with you. That's not judging you. The rest of your note ... not able to comment.

its when you can communicate fully without words, feelings alone, across indefinite distances. take that.

@fisch - I disagree...but I would like to hear a bigger explanation from you on this. Define "used" and "habitual".

The reason I disagree is very simple...I live in a county far far away from my friends and family....therefore me seeing them is not habitual at all, in fact its few and far between....but they are my closest friends nonetheless. And, as much as it probably pains you to hear this...I love them dearly.

On second thought, I will comment a little more fisch.

My curiosity was, actually, a courtesy. I read your post because you put it up. If you didn't want to be read/heard by just anyone who happened upon the thread, why did you post in the first place? Oh yeah, you warned us right? That's a device known as an open invitation for everyone to read.

To my disappointment, what I read disagreed with me very strongly. Hence my note to you. To the degree that you are so vehemently embedded in hatred, I decided to post my disagreement with your position accordingly.
