'Love is a form of personal gain that satisfies others'
I don't know where the hell I got this saying from but I thought I'd list it on here just for a laugh. Manipulative idea of love? Or just realistic?

Next question.
I know some people who claim to have found about ten loves of their life! What a load of crap :crazyeyes
indeed. But Love is still such a special thing. Some of the best things can be explained scientifically but shouldn't really. What about that moment when your heart stops just as you are about to do something momentous in your life. It is more momentous if you aren't thinking - it is the adrenaline in my system which has stopped my heart temporarily....
Love is Love, it is not a thing to be studied IMO. Although that scientific case study on santa claus was funny.....

Next question is: reason?
Some fairly different views on love here... this is going to turn into one of these raging debates that wind on for ages and ages...
I'm not sure if I agree with the saying myself, I think love is about a bit more than personal gain. Yet that saying seemed to come straight out of my mind. Can't even understand myself!
I'm a cynic. That's the only reason I have. That and if I wasn't in love I'd be able to have wicked way with various people who are not my boyfriend. O well, must behave
I've had 2 people who I thought I was in love with. The first one I probably was properly in love with, but despite his efforts of being the biggest bastard ever, I loved him throughout. He even threatened to kill me because I had a pregnancy scary! Dumbass. :rolleyes:
The second man was someone I fell in love with from afar really. Or at least I *thought* I loved. Still hurts though.
Pah. This love thing can go take a jump. Until I meet my other half, I don't wanna know. I'm sick of having to pick myself up again after one shite relationship after the other.
Sorry, rant over...
and who gains more out of love?
That is debateable, in this day and age...
Only joking, course you should behave
difficult question..There can still be some manipulation going on, even if things are basically equal. As for who gains more, that largely depends on circumstance.
i was just going to put crap, but you said it nicely.derek sucks
That's a lovely quote. I always liked this one.
"Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age."
Oooooh and this one too...
Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come."
Hehe.
"Love is the most amazing thing we have been given, and nothing will ever compare in beauty or magnificence. So many emotions are encompassed in that one word. Dreams, hopes, triumphs, losses, heartbreak and indescribable joy and pain.
But nobody truly understands love. It seems to be universal. Timeless. Yet it's also very individual, filtered by our own lives, experiences and expectations. I don't and can't understand love, because it is a different thing for each of us. It is by no means simple. Some say it is based on friendship, Others say it has its base in trust, sharing, honesty. To be honest it has roots in all these.
Love is a beautiful thing for those who are lucky enough to possess it. People say they would do anything for it. It is a many splendoured thing, but also a heartache unto itself if it should go awry."
Thats my response anyway. Mind you, too many people cannot distinguish between love and lust. Love is akin to honey, lust is like candy. Candy tastes like honey, but it's cheaper and a lot easier to get. Think about it.
