It's too invested in the other.
I know that's a weird thing to say, but I honestly believe that love is about who we are more than it is about whom we love.
We can neither love nor feel loved until we accept ourselves. We cannot care for others or let others take care of us unless we take responsibility for ourselves.
We may have good intentions, or we may simply use up whomever will give to us and make us feel good about ourselves.
I grew up with terrible insecurity. I didn't understand how anybody could love me - especially God.
Then one day I realized it is because of His greatness that He loves me. Not because of any great thing I have done (or could ever do) to earn it. I can do things to strengthen or weaken my relationship with Him, but I can't make Him love me or not love me. It's about Who He is, not who I am.
And then I realized that we all love that way. The way we love speaks our to our true selves. Through our love we show who we are and where we are in life.
If we can only love based on someone else's strength or weakness, we don't really love. We are getting a fix.

I think the word love is thrown around and used so casually these days....Oh, I love those shoes, I loved that movie, I love your hair....you get my drift. People have become more tolerant than caring I believe unless that which they care about happens to affect them, their lives. There's a small few that love and care in the Agape way of love and caring, you know, no strings attached. That love that is "patient, kind, that does not envy, is not proud, does not boast, is not rude, self-seeking, is not easily angered. Keeps no record of wrongs. Always protects,always trusts, hopes". In general, the world does not see, feel or understand love in this way.

I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while
my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le,
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin'
you could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I'd sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a brain

nicely possibly the percentage of solutions for the length of this position say people are not truly worth it, yet you may want to appreciate that many each man or woman is preserving the failings they're as a results of the indisputable fact that is so nameless the following, and it is also rather trouble-free to kind out an answer without wondering about how rude and insensitive it will be. yet all each man or woman is truly worth some thing to God, therefore all each man or woman is truly worth some thing to me :)

Understanding of love doesn't change how it affects us or how we use it BC we cannot change it.
Caring can and does change and is absolutely conditional. These are closer to being opposite than synonymous.
You could care for and love somebody and eventually stop caring for that person but still love them.

I go with Yippee Yah QQ all the way. I could write something in the same vain, but I have done enough of that on here to sink someone's computer into the ground. So I'll give everyone a break and say Yippee's answer is my answer...........

I think most people don't truly know what love is they are just lonely and want to rush into a relationship so they can say they have someone just like their peers. Love takes time so I think it shouldn't be rushed.

I think most people are good people, and have love and caring in their hearts.

People seem to have an unrealistic view of love.
