A Response to friends Note "What's Love?" Written by Yours Truly in 2008

E,E,E...man ole man I don't even kno if I should respond cuz this is gonna be so super long...lmbo... plus, I shouldn't even open  myself like this but ya kno what maybe I can help somebody... {smile} 1st the majority of ur questions can't be answered with a simple response...and other questions can't be answered @ all but I'm gonna give you my perspective on this. There are many different types of love. The Bible states, I Corinthians: 13 4-9 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails..." then I Peter 4:8 reads, "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins..." and lastly I John 3:18 reads, "Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions in truth." Ok there's the Bibles definition or explanation of it now my opinion. As I previously stated there are many different types of love however I'm assuming your speakin of the love of a man and a woman in a relationship. In that case in my opinion, love is defined as stated in the Bible in addition 2 the emotional aspect of how a man and woman feels toward one another. It can't be clearly explained because love is different for everybody. Some characteristics of this emotion MAY include caring, trusting, "liking", respecting, etc. a certain individual. Although, love isnt always peaches and cream its the ability to be able to look over someones flaws because we ALL have them and be able to communicate with that person your likes, dislikes and concerns with the situation. Its about being able to trust another individual with your deepest darkest secrets and desires and not worrying that it will be on fb the very next day....·•★ＬＬ★•·. Its about havin that companionship that we ALL want deep down inside..that security that this individual will "ride or die" with/for you and even if the relationship doesn't work out you have no regrets because you really loved him or her, because it was something that you had to go through to learn and grow. Love is an amazing adventure because you never know what the outcome maybe. When you're in love, real love, that love that just makes you weak you will know it, if you've never been in love before it may be hard for you to identify what that feelin of "butterflies" or "twinkling" feeling in your gut when that person calls, texts, or you see that special individual..but you will eventually and hopefully it won't be 2 late, because a wise man once told me. "There are few things that last forever!" and I believe in my heart love is one of those things, so if you had it or may be debating if you are falling don't make the worst decisions of your life and let love past you! In the generation that we live in 2day love is SO SUPER RARE! And it is one of the most precious gifts, God loved US so much he gave his one begotten son! Love is a VERY powerful emotion...and it is very scary! Most people are terrified of love because love gets you out of your comfort zone...you open  yourself to another person and by doing so you may lose apart of youself and give the other person power over you. That's very scary especially for/to men. God made the world perfect then he nade Adam and then made Eve, because Adam was lonely and didn't seem complete. True Eve messed  but that's an entirely different story...LMBO...and Adam allowed her to he should have put his foot down...she was SO SUPER OUTTA POCKET...ne way I'm waaaay off subject...lol A major problem in this "love thang" is that people confuse love with LUST it is NOT the same...that is why people need to re-evaluate themselves and become a whole/complete MAN or WOMAN before trying to become one with another person. Real quick to answer some of your questions {ma bad this is so long...lol} I don't believe you can trick love, however think you can ignore it, you can't "fall out" of love, but you can realize you and that person aren't meant for one another and move on successfully to love another person the way the DESERVE to be loved{which could be more than the last},I personally don't believe people can fall in love like 20 times that's just ridiculous, all that "buying love" is for the birds those are just material, superficial things. You can love more than one person, BUT in different was for different reasons. But just to sum it  love is for your own personal interpretation no one can tell you how to love, who to love, when to love, or where to love you...you jus gotta follow ya heart...Ladies you CAN'T make a Man fall in love with you, or love you {and fellas too} you just CAN'T, you just have to let God work and nature take it's course...When its all said and done GOD IS LOVE! Also, ladies in the Bible it says your husband is suppose to find YOU, that's why I NEVER try to "find" a Man that's for the birds....lol....WHEW...I'm done finally...=)
