Do you believe that Human love does not provide man's total fulfillment, but falls short of what he or she is

Question

Ultimately looking for?

Answer 1

Yes, but in this world it is the Great Analogy for our love for the Divine. Ultimately we all feel that empty space that really seems to never fill with anything out here. But, in Joining with one we learn to love unconditionally another & open our hearts. It is impossible to just open in one area. Human love may fall short of the goal, but I don't think you get there without it either.

Answer 2

There are two parts to love. One is loving. It is fulfilling to have something or someone to care for, beyond one's self. This provides a basic sense of purpose, and meaning - a perspective. The second part is being loved. This provides validation - recognition. These are the two primary fulfillments, I think. They can be found in a relationship - but are often displaced - onto such things as religion (the God relationship offers both fulfillments, free of fear of "betrayal", and a satisfyingly inflated perspective) -- or onto public prestige -- or even onto wealth, which offers care of a sort and also validation. And so it goes, through most human undertakings. So many questions and answers here demonstrate how central the concept of love is to a sense of wellbeing - as well as many of the displacements. What fun!

Answer 3

When going into a loving relationship you should not have an idealistic view that everything will be perfect or your partner is perfect. The degree in which you communicate with your partner to resolve "issues"is what sets relationships above others. Also there should be a sense of equality, spiritual commonality, friendship, compromise, understanding, trust, and respect, as well. If you have all those things, and if you give your love freely and unconditionally, than your relationship should flourish.

Answer 4

I believe that human love is a farce and an impossibility.
We, humans place demands on ourselves and each other that just can not be met. Which I believe, in a woman's case is partly do to society's grooming of Prince Charming (not society's fault). We learn from early on what we should dream of and expect from a man/woman. Things that many fall short of.
I also believe that there is a love greater than us. I do believe that God intended us to love and respect each other in ways far more complex than our simplicity allows. Love is so much more than what we think it should be. Love doesn't fit in a nice little box and unfortunately to many that's what defines it. - A nice little definition that includes human emotions heightened by desire and lust along with "total fulfillment".
God's intention for human love was not "man's total fulfillment" it was more complex than that. Less emotion based, I believe. We sometimes expect our spouse to do jobs that are only intended for God to do. God is to provide "man's total fulfillment" and anyone other than him will fall short of a task that great.
In my humble opinion.

Answer 5

human love is sufficient only on so many levels.we as humnas want to be loved,to love and that is a good thing..but at the same time you need more than love or God to be fulfilled.i for one think that loving my boyfriend,family,friends is good..but then i need to think about myself too and to love as well as to accept myself,to learn how to be a better as well as wiser person.love can make you full to a certaing point and then it is up to each individual to fill that gap..it sort of falls short because nothing can make one person satisfied and so we need to focus on what we as humans want,the goals we want and how to make ourselves happy also..happines is another thing that fulfills each of us,doing our absolut best in whatever the circumstance may be,being driven to get from point A to point B in a shorter time such as maybe finishing college in 3 vs 4 years..for me what fulfills me is working my BA in teaching and my Associates' in Biotechnology,doing a summer internship in the summer of 2008 and doing something with my life.when i do something that i find fulfilling and have as well as share love then i feel to the fullest.

Answer 6

Life can not survive total fulfillment; that would be the end for it for life is need seeking. If the need is not, there is not need to return for its fulfillment. Ultimate is the last one, then no more.

The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

Answer 7

i believe that if we experience true love with another.it is a great warmth and comfort we feel inside.a completely amazing feeling which is hard to describe in limited words.if you adorn some one with your whole heart it,s truly a fantastic commitment to share ,a passion for one another,s company.in all kinds of situations.but things can always go wrong.so i do live in fear of more heartbreak and disaster in my life,s journey of ups and downs.it is true we never know what is around the corner.just like recently i have found out that my girlfriend as been sleeping with my best friend.so again i search for happiness in this lonely world.it is very true love can full short.

Answer 8

If we could be satisfied in purely human love, why would every country across every barrier, have some sort of divine "something". If we share nothing with everyone else on the planet, we have faith. Usually there is love there. Right or wrong, we love beyond our own species.

Answer 9

There is so much more to life than "human love." Human love alone, could never sustain us. That doesn't diminish love, nor does it diminish EVERYTHING else.
I truly don't understand "..falls short of what he or she is ULTIMATELY looking for.." What would we be looking for, but to thrive in our lives from all things? They're there. We don't need to search for them.

Answer 10

Hmmm. At the risk of sounding cliche, 'you never get what you need, but you always get what you want.' Which boils down to why we can never really fulfil ourselves.
