    Yes you are. You enjoy suffering like no-one else.

    The Bible? Fuck, read the fucking New Testament. Blessed are the meek....

    I kinda see what Xev is saying. Christianity discourages you from doing alot of things that would be just a normal thing. (if their were not christian morals), therefore hurting your ego.. which may be just as damaging as hurting your body.

    Or am i way off Xev?

    And what do you concider "normal"? Do you have a flexible or fixed conception of "normal"? Is "normal" the best or there might be something better? If "normal" is how the world is, don't you think there might be a better way to be...?

    Maaaaaaaaan...

    I just registered on this site for one reason only.

    I had to say THANK YOU for this. Seriously. Thank you. You have just changed everything and made me a much better, happier person.

    What you said is SO right.

    I won't give you my life's story but suffice to say, you have said something here which has struck a chord deep within me and made my current dilemma alot more manageable.

    I feel enlightended.

    Thank you.

    You're starting to freak me out now. In a good way...

    Pretty much all my experience of love has come from TV - having never really felt it before - and for a long time I've quietly wondered if sometimes the feelings I have are the result of a compulsion to feel the way I've been shown on TV and in magazines and such, because that's the only thing I really have to relate to.

    Maybe you Christian guys aren't so bad afterall

    Love feels like it hurts like nothing else can, love feels like a high like nothing else, love feels like it will last for ever.
    None of that is actually true.

    Hi Cactus Jack,
    Yes, all that plus ... you love the taste of her skin, and the smell of her hair. You usually have an agenda when with other people, but when with her your only agenda is to please her, and bask in the glow of her presence. When you're not with her you feel incomplete. You're more vulnerable with her, and without her, than ever before.

    Tis a Funny Thing

    If you don't want to read all this junk. Skip down to the bottom and read what I think love is... I kind of rant a bit here...

    In order for you to be in love, you have to be reasonable and on top of the world. You have to be on top of yourself, and have reasons for everything that happens about everything in your life. When someone says the 'spark died' in a relationship, that's not a reason- it's an excuse. Unfortunately, the 'dead spark' excuse has been disgracefully overused by many many people.

    My experience with regard to love:


    I grew up knowing what NOT to do in a relationship based on my parents and their divorce. I also took note of my mother's new spouse whom was an abusive person and how he dealt with his relationship with my mother. My success thus far has been based solely on experience. I know what's right and what's wrong. I know what works and what doesn't.

    Another key, I believe, is to make money of no value to you.

    Definitely money is important and should not be ignored- however, it should not rule your life. Money should be to retire and to spend on occasional bouts of fun... that is all. For all you gold diggers out there- this post is not for you.

    With this type of attitude, you can freely spend money on your partner, and your partner will freely spend money on you... As long as you're open about your ideas on the matter, and absolutely encourage her to relax, and to really not worry about the money- a trust begins to grow... Especially if you're the one to put out the money first.

    This does not mean by her a $5499.99 mountain bike. Catch my drift? A night out at the mall and buying her dinner, while she shops (and pays) for her own clothes is a great way to build a comfort. If you told her your feelings on money, she'll eventually start to do the same for you- and buy you dinner.

    Love is Give and Take. Giving and Taking requires Money. Want love? Forget about the money.


    My encounter with love has turned out to be extremely successful.



    Augh. It would take forever to talk through my experiences and justify everything that happened. I can't stress enough the point about the money though. I believe that was key to my experience.

    It seems like I made my whole post out to be that love is about the money, lol. oh sweet lord no. That's just a good comfort-building start.

    Ok, I need to ask myself something, what am I trying to say here? I'm definitely in 'love' not 'Love'. Love is Stupid. You're not ever truly in Love... but you CAN be truly in love.

    My partner is extremely supportive in me and believes in my abilities 100% of the time. There is never a time that she does not believe in me with respect to something.

    Ok,




    ENOUGH OF THIS.


    LOVE IS THE FOLLOWING:

    100% trust, 30% faith, 30% dedication, 10% at peace, 40% in lust, 50% intellectually attracted, and 35% physically attracted.

    Total Effort: 195%

    Yeah. You basically have to give your everything to her, and she has to give her everything to you. Sometimes, you're going to get hurt. I promise you that. What you get out of it though is so amazing that it's worth the fight.


    Best Regards,

    -Sean

    P.S. If any of you want to hear my love story because their bored- or because they want to apply it to their own life, give me a shout

    Love is sex. Just use them for sexual gratification then move on to the next. How does it feel? Nice, warm, and wet.

    What does love feel like?

    You know what love feels like when you are a friend and help someone in need.

    love is the double edged sword, and ofcourse it has to be that way. if you love somebody they can bring you untold amounts of joy and happiness, but because you are that connected and bound to them, they can also hurt you the deepest.

    but in life we have to take the bad with the good. the rough with the smooth. for every joy we can feel there is a sadness to match it somewhere. but its worth it and i wouldent rid myself of love for my wife for anything in the world.



    peace.

    Love is friendship, fascination, fantasies, feelings, fate, forgiveness and forever.

    Like this old song

    When somebody loves you
    It's no good unless he loves you
    All the way
    Happy to be near you
    When you need someone to cheer you
    All the way

    ~ * ~ * ~

    Taller than the tallest tree is
    That's how it's got to feel
    Deeper than the deep blue sea is
    That's how deep it goes
    If it's real

    ~ * ~ * ~

    When somebody needs you
    It's no good unless he needs you
    All the way
    Through the good or lean years
    And for all those in between years
    Come what may


    ~ * ~ * ~

    Who knows where the road will lead us
    Only a fool would say
    But if you'll let me love you
    It's for sure I'm gonna love you
    All the way
    All the way
