A friend and I were talking about something along the lines of this thread yesterday. Well I guess the discusion was about the differences between being in Love and lusting. When you first start a relationship with someone, you get this wonderful feeling of excitement, nervousness, and joy (complete confusion) that can be addicting. There is this mystery. You are trying to find everything there is to know about the person, they do these certain little things that you love...every moment with them is so intoxicating...Lust
It can be hard for a relationship when this phase wears off...Im convience this is the reason marriages end in divorce.
Things because repeatitive, and you start to see the bad sides or the luggage of the person. You start to realize that the world wont end if you are away from each other for a day.
Sometimes those little things that you loved so much at the beginning can actually become to annoy you.
The euphoria starts to wear off...(by now Im guessing those of you who are reading this must think Im a depressive person...and you would be right) however when the relationship comes down from that first stage you start to realize something even more wonderful. That the person has left an incredible mark on your soul and no matter what happens, no matter how many bad character traits the person has, or whatever they do in the future...You love them deeply. Sure you might not recognize it but trust me its there (and if it isnt then you were never serious)
I think its now at this point where true love is found. Love is the acceptance of a person no matter what problems they have. Love is this special bond that cannot be broken... not even death can stand in its way. Love is the most important thing in this world, we all crave love, we need it to fill that dark hole that we are born with in our hearts.
But unfortunately some people (including myself) have this misconception of what love really is...perhaps this whole post is a misconception...
Sorry for my ramblings...This is my opinion of what true love is...agree or disagree you have to admit without love all is lost...
