Do you believe in true love or do you think its a stupid concept?

Question

I myself am confused because all love should be true but in todays world l-o-v-e is simply a 4 letter word with little or no meaning.

Answer 1

True love is real but rare, and it is a beautiful concept. It can be as true today as it ever was, but it requires something that not everyone is willing to make......commitment!

Answer 2

I believe in true love, and am proud to be part of a union that is based on it. There have been many times in my life where relationships went sour and I did not think I would ever find my true love, but I did, and it was well worth the wait.
For a lot of people, love is just a four letter word that has little or no meaning. I have been the culprit of saying it when I shouldn't have...but when I look back at it, I know that at that moment, I felt I was loving that person, but later on always asked, is this true love? Am I really in love?
This time around there is no questioning. It just is. I am in love. I want to scream it to the world.
Don't give up your search yet... your true love is out there probably asking the same question you just did.....

Answer 3

I think it is a subject that has been misconstrued by Disney. The whole Prince Charming, being swept off your feet thing. Besides that point...

I believe that we are made to yearn for that other person, when you find them you can get so excited and be overwhelmed with feelings of love. These overwhelming feelings eventually fade and then you find out if you are truly compatible. You have to make the choice to love one another. I think that love is an action, you can say you love them, in fact I do believe that if you feel it then it should be said, but you have to show them as well. I do not believe that love is a stupid concept, but I do not know if there is such thing as "the one" it is a choice, it is also something that I look forward to for the rest of my life.

Answer 4

When you say true love, do you mean that there can only be one like in a soul mate? I don't believe in soul mates and I think a person can have many true love's. I think though that a people give up when things start going south, that's easier to just focus more on work than the problems between you and the one you love. I agree with you and I think that it's just flung around with carelessness but I don't think that's good enough reason to give up on the concept of it.

Answer 5

First, of course it is real. There are far too many examples of true love for us to ignore it. However, since different people view everything differently, so must they view love differently. To understand this statement simply, think about art and poetry. Everyone has their own ideas of what they are about.

Love being a four letter word is simple to understand. MANY people, especially us men, use the word as an excuse for sex. That may sound callus, and many people will argue in the face of truth, but it is true.

Answer 6

I can understand your dilemma. In the world of "Make Believe" we are not able to differentiate between anything true or real and anything artificial or imaginary. The realistic graphic depiction of even Dinasours in the movies make us ( even adults) think that they exist today!

You have hit the nail on its head with your question. Many are suspicious of even true love. We are all looking for some EXTERNAL signs and authorisations for even true Love. The answer , though , is right in you. I think we should listen to our innerself which is the true and certain indicator of true love.

Once you feel that vibe start to give MORE than take . donot wait for the other person to give you more . You give and then receive. whhen there is a healthy competition to give more there is the joy in receiving more. You will, then , realise true love can evove only in giving and not taking.

Then you will know that Lust, Liking, possessiveness, donot mean Love. True Love is based on Love , trust , intimacy and respect.

Answer 7

I believe in it for the reason that love to some people mean nothing because they are not willing to go beyond the physical to get to know the true inner person.Knowing someone's true self can take you your whole life and some people are not prepared to be that committed.So true love is when you can see the other person's flaws and short-comings and still love them like the day you first met them!!!!

Answer 8

No, it's not a stupid concept. True love exists. True love, in my opinion, takes a certain amount of life experience and personal self-knowledge to be able to recognize it when it comes along. We are subject to a lot of embellishment regarding this topic and it can throw you off when you're out there looking for the real thing. It may not come to you in the picture of what you had in your mind. It can often seem to present itself to you and then the lead will be a false one. Only time and experience will sharpen your intuition of who is right or not right for you.

Answer 9

true love isn't for everyone. i don't belive it's a concept. some people are meant to fall in love, and some people aren't...simple as that.

as far as "l-o-v-e" holding no meaning. i do agree with you in some ways. people today DO have an affinity to use the word in a loose way. but to them it's just a learning experience, eventually they will learn to stop using it like that of a four letter word.

hope my answer helps, i'd be glad to discuss more if you'd want .

Answer 10

The word may be used meaninglessly, as anything from a means of seduction to a cosy, fluffy, substitute for critical definition of religion - but it still has real meaning. The Greeks and other peoples had many words for different kinds of love. English has few, but the many kinds of love still exist. There's the love between child and parent (often arguable but no less true);the passionate infatuation of youth; the possessive "love" of immaturity reaching for someone to dominate; and the often selfless "true" love of maturity, which may express itself in powerful sexual relationships in one's youth, but can survive without sex at all in old age. True love expresses itself in a desire to totally know the "other" as much as they will reveal themselves; and conversely a willingness to be totally known. In that relationships there is an "entrustment" (beyond mere trust) of each to other, which makes both vulnerable. As that vulnerability is not betrayed, love grows. Such "true" love requires honesty, courage, generosity, and insight comparatively few people develop. But all these things grow, through love, even in disappointments - especially when we understand that those disappointments are not fatal, and the exploration has been sweet. So, for me, love is one of the great keys to the meaning of life, and its enrichment - though rarely a smooth road.
