Love.....do you really love people ?

Question

OR....do you feel that lots of others are just jerks, or selfish, annoying, or in your way????? Or worse, dishonest!
I'm looking for really heartfelt, very honest answers! (please keep it clean, tho)
The reason I ask, is because I basically love most people, and I try to find something good in most...and most of the time, I really do....BUT....then there are others who, even after trying to like them, in all honesty, they just annoy me....
So....what is it that you don't like in some others, and would you honestly say that you love people? Or, do you tend to mistrust most individuals, for whatever reason?
It seems to me that, people trusted and loved others alot more, in the past...has that changed???

Answer 1

I agree that there was more love in this world in the past, but the past is in the past and there is no way to bring it to the future. You mistrust and feel even resentment towards a stranger, but if you get to know and understand that person and become close to the stranger, that person is no longer a stranger, but someone you love; for there cannot be friendship without love. Friendship is love, and love is friendship; they are merely at different levels of intimacy and of understanding. I love others, and feel resentment and untrust towards others whom I do not know; that is human nature. If everyone loved or at least liked everyone else they saw each day, then the concept of love would not exist; for hate would not be there for contrast. But if there is no hate...how can there ever be love?

Answer 2

I think its wiser to mistrust people because they might have the capacity to harm you directly or to influence you badly, you can keep a circle of trusted friends and people though but if you would love those outside your trusted circles I think its possible to but its not possible without some sort of indifference in that level. And one should also not let one's guard down. As for being annoyed at some people there must be a legitimate reason for one to be annoyed and just see if you can get past that to form a more closer relationship or if you can't then just avoid the person. Its natural. Sometimes the question is not how much you have loved and opened up to others but how much you have protected yourself so asking if people loved more in the past seems not a legitimate question in some perspectives, since the nature of people has always been generally the same but what measures have you taken to go through the situation of living among such people in your life.

Answer 3

Yes, True love trys to rise above other peoples imperfections doesn't it.and I wonder if mistrust is the right word or 'being cautious around others' Hopefully as True Christians we all try to change and grow in the right way with our attitudes
Where is the definition of Love is it Corinthians??

Answer 4

In today's day and age you cant just love or trust someone! Because people tend to miss-use that love or trust!!! I think it has changed. People are so narrow minded now and they tend to only think about them self. That's why I'm very care full of whom I love and trust. Someone very important to me once told me you can never trust anybody not even yourself. And how can you say you love others when you don't even love yourself!!

Answer 5

It does happen,
You feel you dont like somebody but without reason. Practically, there are those guys who seem appealing to you, you may not find why you love or like them. Its natural Jocie, and all humans feel the same way.
The only solution is to avoid too much contact or too deep sharing with many people. Mind your life and view it positively. Try to love those you can.
Thanks n bye.

Answer 6

life changes everyday. people change everyday. to make it easier for you it works for me. when i find someone annoying just think do you think that you are so good that you do not annoy any one and do you mean to annoy people. no we are all the same at the end so if you dislike those people. think how many people will end up disliking you. thats what i do i love even those who did me wrong in live and gess what they are actualy changing their attetudes against me. and it is a lot of fun getting along with your suppose to be enemys.

Answer 7

I believe we all can love all-if we want to
I believe we can help all-if we want to
I believe we can turn the other cheek-if we want to

There is definately love there for all, but like anything it is only if we want it

An open heart is all it requires, one that has the capability of separating the dark side and concentrating on the light of life-there we discover unconditional love

Love an' Peace xxxx

Answer 9

I don't know what "love" is.

But I do feel compassion and empathy for all souls.

I have seen the light of 1000 stars,
But none so bright as the light within!

Answer 10

Times have indeed changed but I still love people, good and bad, they make life very interesting, but loving people does not mean you always like them, nor understand them.
