Love is the name of "mother" in the mouth of our children...

its just psychological behaviour, theres no believe or not believe, its just when you care for someone and you kiss them and give them things etc. just use your common sense.

yep, adults can be stupid sometimes all the time.

and when people "really" love someone its just an excuse to put their cok up them. true

Love is definitely real. It's a magical congruence of bodily sensation and emotional contentment. Love isn't about perfection, idealism or the absence of any kind of disappointment. It's about contentment, compromise and tolerance, as well as finding joy in the current and future companionship of another person. Love isn't about how that other person makes you feel, but how you feel when you are with them.

I could gush some more but I'll leave it at that. (Going on 13 years married I might add)

I believe in love, I feel there are many kinds of love.
The love I feel for my children, is different then I feel for my husband. I love my cats, but not like I do my family, yet I still feel like they are my family, ya know.
We all need love, thats what makes us feel alive and gives us meaning. Without love, your like an empty shell and you feel hostile towards others who have love.
That is probably as clear as mud, but it's my view in a nut shell :)

thats how everything works these days, religions are being analyzed scientifically. its better to face reality.

in my opinion its the same with religions, i know they are made up, but many people sacrifice their lives for it.

no disrespect mate, but at your tender age of 16, how can you at this very early stage in your life just dismiss something so easily. Maybe you've been looking in the wrong places, or only seeing what reinforces your beliefs while downplaying/disregarding examples that display the contrary.

no, not really.

ive talked to many adults who said love isnt magical and its just a relationship between 2 people, if they get along then it will last. and i use my own judgement and logic and there ya go.:)

IMO i am smarter than my parents and many adults ive seen, ive seen them do stupid mistakes like all adults and children do. i just see everything coming. i dont get my ideas through other people or the media i use my own head.

I guess if we stay in the aim of this topic, this practice is less likely to be love, and more akin to infidelity or promiscuity. Somewhat incongruent principles when we think about what love is/should be:D:D

Not sure I understand, do we believe love exists? Proving existence of a concept can be tricky, people tried that with God.... Is love simply lust or biology? That is a futile, though interesting discussion! Not sure dissecting it makes it any less amazing, just adds even more dimensions to it I guess. If I salivate when I see cake, science could explain how the brain tells glands to do whatever, but not necessarily why I like cake!

I think love grew out of a biological necessity. Survival of the species and all that. Once the quality of our life improved, and relationships were more than just procreation of the species and basic survival, those *softer* sides of our needs and wants were allowed to flourish.

I suppose the notion of love has evolved over time (consider the Victorian's very sickly-sweet view), and always will. I think love is more than a physiological reaction, although it is how we mostly describe it because of the physical sensations that it creates within us. Your reference to the parallel argument over 'is there a God' is a good one.

Love is a leap of faith and a matter of belief. You cannot understand it externally or abstractly. One either feels it or they don't. Both experiences are real. If one feels no love, and doubts its existence, then from their experience that is true; but to suggest that it doesn't exist in others is a step out of bounds. It is not up to us to question the experiences of others. If they feel it, so it is.

Reminds of Descarte: I think therefore I am.

what r u talking about...there r only a hand full instances where people go insane, lose their mind and put some one else ahead of themselves....95%of the time.. if u desect all ur so called "selfless unconditional love" acts ,to atoms and molecules u will find out "it has always been about urself"....well u cant blame it on anyone..thatz the way nature has designed all the living creatures...."me" comes first...it has to be like that to insure the survival of the species...u just cant go die for some one or some thing its just not right
.
.
.
of course when u r 30+,40+ u dont have much options,for having survived soo long... u r forced to belive that such an unconditional selfless love does exist ....so that u can live the rest of ur life feeling a lot better about ur ageing self,and other limitations of old age,again its done to protect one's own self..or may be not it doesnt matter anymore u r already 40,u can stop thinking roll over and die
its just my humble tots...people see differnt things and think differnt
