Perfect Love...Your views...?

Answer 1

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.

After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.

Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.

I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.

I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.

If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.

I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

Oh, I believe it is definitly possible. To find that one special person to spend the rest of your life with. However, I do also believe that people are wishy washy and not really sure what they want. That is why I sometimes see divorced couples finding totally different new significant others than their last spouses. Learning from their mistakes I guess. But the biggest hinderence to the perfect love is that people over time learn to hate the things in other people that they see in themselves. Kind of a self destruction thing. Some people cannot allow themselves to be happy. But perfect love is out there and I believe there can be more than one. I think it would be small to think that there wouldn't be more than just one person on this planet that hits all the right buttons. At least I hope not. But I can be happy with the one i have.

Sorry to say, but there's no such animal!
Love is wonderful at the beginning, but only a few can say that they feel the same way after so many years. They are truly blessed!
Many times, what you love most in a person is what totally turns you off after time.
Romantic love lasts only so long & then reality sets in.
If only we were perfect, then maybe there would be such a thing as "perfect love."
Sorry to be so cynical.

Answer 4

Perfect love is your love with the higher power and the creator. No matter what u do, that love is there when u need it or don't need it. You won't really find perfect love in human relationships because people have there flaws. But it all does start within yourself and will shine on the outside.

Answer 5

No love is perfect-it can seem ideal to you but it is never perfect which makes it so special.You build the trust in love as you go on with that person, and make the love how you want it to be. what may be 'perfect' to you may not be to another person. love is amazing :D x

Answer 6

At physical plane we can never understand what the true love is. Though we get a very weak and distorted glimpse of it, when we are in love with some one, which is conditional and transient. This love is opposite of hate. Hate turns into love and love into hate, which gives us feeling of misused and abused.

Actually true love is "when you are not there" or "where there are no two". We can not say that it's unity between two, because again there are two who are united - difference is still exist.

Perfect love is like Pigs Flying :)

Answer 8

In this world love is a perverted reflection of the actual love, which is unending and unlimited. On the material plane love is tainted with lust (or desire for our own sense pleasure) If one wants to actually love, then they have to put the creator in the center of our relationships. (Also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama, etc.) We have to understand that this world is temporary and not our real home. That we are not these bodies, IE Race, color, nationality, religion, mind, intellect, job etc. That we are all eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, named above. Actual love can only be realized by seeing that every living being is a part of God and we are all His eternal loving servants. In any relationship, we are to help them come closer in that eternal loving relationship with our Maker, and not try to enjoy them for our own sense pleasure. In this way we can actually love, but it is a rare soul who actually attains this platform. Bhakti Yoga is the process for attaining true love. Not some stretching or breathing exercises, but a process of offering all of ones thoughts, words, actions, talents, etc., in the loving service of God and to always glorify His holy name no matter what ones path. In this way we can actually learn how to love every living being equally. For info read The Science of Self Realization by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada. World Peace and Love

Answer 9

Is natural.
Perfect love is when everything that happens about you, with you, with the other person, about the other person, is natural. Hurt feelings, happy feelings, happy actions. No regrets. Everyone has thoughts. They are natural, and when you except that they are natural with the other person. No one wants to hurt another person, and wants another person to hurt them, but when you expect that that is life, and it is natural or everyone, and make the best of the situation with the person. That is Perfect Love.

Answer 10

There is only real love. Perfect love does not exist.
