BABEH DUN *shot*

But on a serious note, what do you belive love truly is? I think its when you care for someone elses well-being, if they are a friend. And when they are down, you are too. But as a companion, it's when you try your best to make time for them and always try to make them happy. (sorry for the short post. I'm on my Wii)
So what do you think love is, Digibutter?

Love... well, true love is unconditional. No matter what happens, the love will still remain, no matter how much it pains one.

When one is in love with another, it's as if they hand their heart to the other in hopes that they will care for it just as well as the original owner. One one truly is in love, they will sacrifice everything, even their own well-being for another.

Love is not eternal, in the sense of lasting in one person toward their lover forever. It eventually dies and wears out over time, as, true love does not exist between lovers (if it does, it is very rare). True, undying love, is like that between a mother and her child, between a dog and his master. No matter what happens, no matter how much they may seem to hate each other, there is still that little glimmer of love left over... no matter how painful it may be to admit.

In a relationship, love can tear away at the soul of one person, leaving them as a pathetic heap. The joy is overwhelming, but the pain is 100 times more powerful, when in a position where the love is unrequited, or the lovers cannot see each other. Love wears much faster this way.

Love is not a human emotion. It is not a feeling. It is a state of being acquired over years and years of work. A lover starts out as a friend. One is not truly in love until that friendship blossoms into something much more powerful. Love is trust. Caring. Understanding. Love is not romance, for romance is merely a form of lust that may accompany love.

The lover always wants his companion to be happy, no matter how much this may torture him. Some may even give their life for their love. Sometimes, their love leads them to leave their lover in hopes that their lover will have a happier life.

Whatever you hear in books, movies, plays, or TV shows is not true. Love is not a weightless, enchanting feeling that sweeps one off their feet. It is heavy, nearly a burden; an addiction.

Nonetheless, it is a wonderful thing.

We aren't looking for the truth, we're looking for others' opinions on the subject. And a bunch of teenagers are often more intelligent/wise and...understandable than the elderly. I know there's the whole "experience" thing, but loosen up...that was really uncalled for.

Anyway, love is...

...that.

You teens wouldn't understand, unless your 1)Intelligent or 2)Had a taste of adult life.
Love is when one person gets together with another forever, and becomes in a relationship that is deep and serious. But love exists for us humans, to feel that great feeling when you love someone.
Of course, you'll know more when your an adult. Love isn't sex or making out. Its a deeper relationship between two people that will last forever, not like teenlove where breaking up happens all the time.

So..this topic, is kinda like asking childrens what do they think of Politics. They have no clue, see...
Mr. I, I completely disagree. There is NO way teens know the true meaning of love as much as adults. Trust me, adults know hell a lot more than teenagers. You want proof? Look around you, IRL please. School, friends, do they know anything about the "true" meaning of love? I guess they will say "Sex" or "Likeing someone" No it isn't.
Trust me, I have seen and experienced parts of adult life. The most important thing is love, something you will realize a lot more clearer when your older. This is why the elderlys are more smarter than us. That was like saying your smarter than your parents, Mr. I. Most people hate their parents, true, but do you know anything about the adult life? No.
It was really called for because us teens are still in school life. The one thing in teen life is "Girls" and which explains the boys here. When it comes to girls, I bet my money even CHILDRENS are more mature than you guys. When I say girls, you dogs think of nothing but sex and love. And most people here does thing love=making out, sex, etc.
I REALLY hate it when people think that. Love and sex are completely different thing. "Lets make love" is a figure-of-speech that was invented by some horny ass loser who can't get a life.
Go look up love in a dictionary. Some could be wrong, some could be truthfully right. Love, sir, is just another word for "Strong Relationship" or "Bonding" really different from like.
Of course, forgive me for this, but I'm past my teenage life (Even though I'm only 16) But my mom started teaching me and raising me the ways of the adults already at the age THIRTEEN. A lot of parents realize that teen life isn't always so safe, so she raised me and taught me the dangers of teen life (Which is a reason why I don't think getting a girlfriend is a good idea, ever. No matter what. I regret having one before IRL)
Having a girlfriend and a wife is two different thing. See the difference:
Teen life couples tend to break up like a month. Married couples are together forever most of the time. Its because they are intelligent people who chose the right person for them. That is another defination of love, someone you truly belong with. Teen couples mean like oh, making out and stuff, and then dumping one another and getting a new GF/BF, like a hooker.
If there are adults that gets divorces constantly, guess what? They haven't really grown up yet. They think they are still in their teen life or whatever. I know I won't be like them. And I will watch out. I need to search the one truly for me and find TRUE love. Ever heard of true love? Its like the same thing as love, but used to only truly show the true meaning of love.
Let me ask you, do you want to still be in your teen life after you graduate from college? No, you want a good successful life right? Well for one thing, adults are hell a lot more mature than teenagers. They are seriously intelligent and know a lot of life stuff from experiences. Which is one reason they know true love. Adults were teens once, so they learned from mistakes, and searched for their true love. And this is why they are married, and they had you guys. Don't your parents love each other so much? It is very different to teen life.
Now about school...you have seen couples or two at your school right? Are they still going out or did they break up recently? They are not...good for going out too early. But they have learned something. Don't make the same mistake. This is where adult life comes to play. They realize the mistake and vows to never make that mistake again. And so when they do grow up to be adults, they remember their past experiences with "love" which wasn't really love. I bet a million dollars that they will go to find "true love," one that won't break them up and one that will last for a lifetime.
See it all builds on. From child life to teen life. Child learns to be "cool" like teens. Then comes "love" teens fall in love, regret it, learns about true love, and then they are adults. Marriage? Successful. And then adult life builds onto the Elder life, grandpa/grandma. Of course, you shouldn't bother getting a girl now if your reading this, because I am trying to help you guys.
Now you may think I'm crazy, lying, or mean for saying this. But I do not write a freakin wall of text just to be "cool" or to look smart.
I just said this before, but I have experienced adult life before. I have met a few adults. I am actually a little "friend" to them. I know all about it. Not just love, but like taking care of kids, work, etc. I have also seen adult life being experienced.
Last summer you all know I taught little kids. Last summer this one particular girl (seven year old). I met her mother, see, and then she became my little friend. (Also became little friends with the girl lol). I have seen it all. Her taking care of the girl, driving back and forth from work just to pick her up, etc. I did some part of adult life by taking care of the little temporarily. Of course, she thank me. And to this date, I found out that we go to the same church. Starting this sunday, I shall see a bit more taste of her life. (Please do not take this in a perverted "teen" way or I will report you :/ )
Then theres my mother. She cares deeply about me. She is also concerned about my future. She doesn't like it when I get a girlfriend and all this teen stuff (Gang related stuff, vandelism(SP?), other bad stuff like drugs, etc). So she get fed up with it and started showing me a taste of her own life, starting by taking me to her work. At first, I hated it. But now I'm used to it. I feel like an adult now, know what I mean? I mean, I was raised this way starting from teen life.
Of course, I still do teen stuff, good stuff actually. Like going to my friends house to hang out, and talking on Facebook. But actually, getting together with the most important people in your life is something you ALL should do in your lifetime. Sitting home all day on the computer will DEFINATELY not help you in your future. And it won't help you get to your adult life either (Unless your on an adult help site of course, try it. I strongly encourage you to do so).
Now I am getting a bit off topic. Forgive me. But it ticks me off when SOMEONE says something like "Teens are smarter than adults sometimes. No, this is not true. Most of the facts we know...could be wrong. We might realize it in the future, I don't know. I've had many more adult experiences than teen experiences (Besides getting social) but I'm not really into getting out anymore. Nah, I'm like into jobs, economics, and researching about true love. Of course, I'm strongly against dating during teen life, in general.
That is why it is best to wait until you learn about this kind of stuff, and when your an adult. You don't want to be divorcing a lot now do you? No, we should stick to one.
Overall, I agree with Larry/The Spy. We may not realize it, but we aren't really intelligent enough to really know love. I admit, I don't know EVERYTHING about love. But what I DO know is that it isn't what most teenagers think. No, love is like an elder's word. Ask your parents and see their thoughts on love. I highly recommand asking that. Because you will be suprised at the answer they give you. It could be different than what you expected.. Of course, if you have bad parents, don't do it.
Abstract, I take it that you know a lot about...adult related stuff such as the subject on love. But I have to disagree with you on the...third paragraph I think?
True love does and CAN exist. That is if we get our ass of the chair, look for true love, and stop thinking how teens think. True love develops during adult life. But that is if you learned from past mistakes, and not make any mistake/make little mistake when you start your love life during the adult times.
Now what I said might not have made sense. I'm sorry but like I said, I got ticked off when I read Mr. I's post and I had to say this. I didn't want to, but I gave you a taste of my life. I admit, I only had one girlfriend in my whole lifetime. I regret it. Teen love is so complicated. But guess what? I learned from my mistakes, and now after my breakup, I started to learn more and more about the true meaning of love. Of course, when I was going out with her, I was blind by the false defination of love.
To sum up my messy whatever, it probably didn't make sense so...
I'm positive that adults know more about love than us teenagers. Especially if all they do is spend their time mostly on the computers, have never gone out, or is totally anti-social. (I'm sorry if this offended most of you, but face it, its true. How will you know true love...if you never experienced it outside or have never seen it when your outside with friends? Past few months, I've seen real adult couples outside in the park or bowling alley or parents of kids I taught.)
I advise most of you to actually learn this stuff from either parents or a website (Google it) and have a taste of real adult love life. You may learn something, and you may never make ANY mistake when your older.
You know what? I take that back. Teenagers aren't dumb at all. Teens have goals, and one of them is to have a successful life and finding true love. Well guess what? If you believe in true love (Like I do) and if you really find the true defination of love, and if you learned from mistakes and vow to never make that mistake again, you have a very high chance to achieve that true love.

Of course, what I said is mostly off topic, since I was on the subject of adult life, more than the subject of love. But Mr. I got me in this rant...sorry.

They are. However, one cannot be intelligent without experiance. Older people understand love more then younger people because they experianced it for a looong period of time. Unlike teens.

Aaaand, nothing is uncalled for my friend. I'm just saying what is the truth. If you disagree with it, that's fine. Just don't get mad at me, because I didn't invent it, lol.

@Baby Peach: Finally someone who knows the truth. For that, I will give you a cookie.

Love is just the hormone that results in reproduction, to keep the human race going.

That's what most teenagers feel. That isn't love, that's lust. Love is entirely different.

Love is a mental reflex needed for the care of infants and children. If babies were born completely ready for life, biologically love wouldn't be necessary.
