romance, well being

love me, love my dog

What is Love and What does Love Mean to You? is an interesting read by a blogger about human being’s most beautiful, sophisticated and intense state of mind, body and soul. By the way, if I might have something to say too! You know, you often talk about things that you don’t really know rather than about things that you know well, and madness also takes part in and drives you to somewhere above or underneath the ground. So anyway in a moment of sanity, what’s love?

In third a second, Google analyses that there are 245 million websites using the word “love”. And “love” repeatedly used 4.6 billion times on the cyber, only the ones that were filtered in 0.36 seconds through Google’s engines. Wow, equally nearly each of a pair of us on Earth share 1 love !!! Incredibly irrelevant good news huh!

So much frequently used and certainly said, but do you know how to love? OK, only if you don’t then continue reading 😛

Someone put on Wikihow how to love, I think it’s really helpful, solving a maths problem by putting in many fail assumptions as well as right ones so you could see clear enough to eliminate the fail ones and find your (own custom-made) answers.

Apparently there are 4 steps: 1/ – What love looks like: acknowledge the breathe of love; begin to recognise what love isn’t. 2/ – Learning to love your self: begin by loving your self; forgive yourself and give yourself license to make mistake; know what loving yourself feels like. 3/ – Starting to love others: actively show love in your words; love unconditionally; be tolerant; love those who don’t love you. 4/ – Branching out: accept risk, empathize with other people; never stop loving.

Hmm, not really sure to digest this very well, it does sound like reading a combination of a bible and a car’s manual book, an not just a normal one but on how to run it well :-D. Oh well, and if I may say something about the tips and warnings as well;

Tips

  • It does not make you a bad person to desire someone else’s love, even if they do not love you. However, to truly love someone, you must let them be free. It is selfish to blame them for your feelings. ==> Ok, got it.
  • Remember there is no failure in love, because once you show somebody that you love them, then you have already succeeded in love, even if they don’t care. ==> only thing that makes the most sense!
  • There are many types of relationships that involve love, but love itself is a common thread to all those relationships. For example: a mother-son relationship is different from the relationship with a best friend, and both these relationships are different from a romantic relationship. But in each of these relationships, each person loves the other (wants the best for the other). Love is the base of the pyramid. On top of the base, we can add other items such as other common interests (in the case of friends) or sex (in the case of romantic relationships). Therefore, relationships can grow and evolve but the love itself is solid and constant. It does not change. ==> really, after all the “grow and evolve”?
  • People become beautiful to you because you love them. In a society obsessed with appearance, it can often seem the other way around but the reality is that love makes a person beautiful and the imperfect perfect. ==> hmmm needless to say.

Warnings

  • Loving isn’t always easy. ==> a bit overstating here eh?
  • Never seek to force love. You can try but you’ll find fear, neediness and insecurity, not love. Love will come if you’re willing to share love, to give of it freely and to expect nothing in return. ==> oh bullets — better go get hooked!
  • The idea of romantic love is often fuelled by fantasies and much of the romantic love shown in movies and romance novels is unrealistic and causes real mortals to feel inadequate. Be aware that creatively written or filmed romantic love  is a thing of art in its own — mere mortals are recommended to see that romantic love has warts. The more expansively you view romantic love, the more accepting you are that romantic love isn’t always ideal and the more certain you are about who you are and what matters to you in life, the more likely you’ll be able to find happiness in romance. Leave those rose glasses slightly lifted at all times! ==> my oh my extra cautious wikihow volunteer author, if it’s really free like you just said in tips then it is not that difficult to get a more-than-movie’s romantic love, is it? Or my expectation has just overfed?

So, this wikihow, perhaps also all the love movies or novels, do they offer a little help or not? I thought it did, though as I continued this “love” search, it’s seemingly much easier to see it in a few words, not because of the name of the website, but because it goes in much easier to my simple minded self. (And is it truly applicable is a big question in the big realization quest.)

Oxford dictionaries define 4 words l o v e as a noun as 1/ is a strong feeling of affection. 2/ great interest and pleasure in something. 3/ a person or thing that one loves. 4/ a score of zero… 

And love as a verb is “feel deep affection or sexual love for (someone)”. End of.

Seriously feel deep affection or sexual love for someone? Do you feel it and when did you last feel like this? Get him grounded beyond and upon and…. aghh, for the love of Mike ignore those warnings and tell him!!! “Love me, love my dog or leave it altogether … within me …”
