"Love demands all, and has a right to all" Beethoven
Is it too much to receive what you give?
Are expectations just meant to disappoint us?
Does love change people over time?
or
Do people change love over time?

good question. i think love, although undefinable, is constant and unchanging. we humans pick and choose and apply it as we wish. the english language is one of the best at creating a word to attach to a thing or event or whatever society is into at a given time. but it has yet to adequately define love. have you ever noticed how time stands still and yet flees away on tiny quick feet when love appears? jmo
Wonderful - "how time stands still and yet flees away...."
I may never figure out this love thing.
i don't agree with beethoven at all....love is not demanding at all....you ask some thought-provoking questions....so i want to share this with you...it is from "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran...it is so beautiful to me...
When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden amonf his
pionions may wound you,
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.
kahlil gibran
Thank you for sharing this with me Faith.....you are truly a the poet laureate of Blogster.
Love is not meant to be analyzed... only felt! You will go insaned if you put too much thought into it! Take care Queenie!
I like everyone's comments and I agree with all of them. I want to add though that I think people put alot of stress on finding love, people put it into their own parameters. Like trying to organize the right pegs to go into the right slots. I think when you put these kind of expectations and restrictions on how and who your gonna love you lose the whole idea. Basically, concentrating too much on the details and not seeing the whole picture. Anyways, just what I think, great question!
You really can't analyze love unless you are willing to encompass every possible description, good and bad. Love is constant in the sense that it is always there, therefore possible to find, have, lose, discover, etc. It's also constant that it stirs up feelings, usually strong ones, and those feelings can make a difference in people's lives...how they act, work, talk, feel, etc. But, notice I didn't say it's constantly good, constantly felt, constantly the same. All those examples I gave include the full gamut of all possible things, meaning good and bad, wrong and right, happy and sad, helpful or disastrous. Because, the FORMS of love, the MEANINGS of love are NOT constant. Each and every love is different from each other and in each person and for each person and described according to the words or expressions in different terms. If anyone believes that love is all way way, includes all the same things, makes you feel exactly the same way, etc., then that person may have had love ten times already and not even known it...because of some misconception of the whole thing. If it was that constant and everybody felt exactly the same thing, then we would all be the same and it wouldn't matter who we were with. Love can be a bunch of things with somebody, but be a whole bunch of different things with somebody else. That doesn't mean that one is love and the other isn't. It's whether both are accepted or if one or both are rejected...it's an opinion of what the person prefers, but it's not the absolute answer to what love is. Love is all things and it can be all things, not just what a person thinks it should be in order to be love.
Thanks Donna.
