Does true love still really exist? Or have we become too scared and jaded? | |
mewatchinu User ID: 1868091 United States 12/04/2011 06:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I spend each day of my life the same everyday. I get up, wait for the train and look at all these strangers passing by as I make my way to work. Quoting: luckyirish83 Everyday I wonder..how many have actually found someone they can turn to in the morning and feel truly happy. I have been in many relationships in my days and though it's true I have felt bliss and contempt with another, they all turn out to be just another part of my life that comes and goes. I spend my days searching for something that I don't even know anymore. How many feel like that? Feel like they get entangled in the same routine day in and day out where as in the back of the mind you think..there has to be more. Is it love? Does it really exist? Does love really feel like sunlight shimmering bliss? Or is it just a myth to make people feel like crap? Used to be a hopeless romantic in my days..just don't know anymore. Now I just find myself dating, screwing, and thats it. Been with many women..but always feel empty again. Guess it's seclusion and fear of hurt. But why do I still search? In a world full of selfishness and anger..is love still out there? Get a dog...they never stop loving you. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4472362 Your child is waiting. Pretty bold to say that i WILL have another Mr/Miss I'm 28 and although I love kids and want to have another one day..i don't think I will, i mean not with the state of the world and what it will obviously be like in the near future. |

Most people these days prefer to be rebels so to speak. Full of hurt and resentment. Really made me wonder if it's just a myth or is it because humans these days shy away from commitment knowing they can find it elsewhere |

The expectations from people who are merely human are far too high, and people give far too little. Maybe I'm just jaded, but every time I meet someone I feel like as if I'm expected to be someone else. I am, what I am. |

I think you can find someone you can be compatible with, but sometimes it's like finding a needle in a haystack. And I agree with another poster, about the child calling to you from the other side. I was never going to have children. But my life went on empty and meaningless, until I did. They are the best. And will bring fulfillment like you never imagined. And try to have faith and hope for the future. It is not healthy to think it is not worth bringing a child into this world. If every human went around feeling that way, what would happen to the human race? As a race we are awesome. It is just that we are under some terrible oppress ion. Just wait until it lifts ! WOW ! |

You probably should just wait a while until they get a synthetic replacement, then you just have to worry about batteries. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2046223 United States 12/04/2011 11:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No, I do believe in that kind of love I have felt it and it is unmistakeable BUT both parties have to be unselfish enough to compromise and put the other first occasionally, both parties have to have the moral fiber to be capable of monogamy and honesty, and both parties have to have the ability to forgive. That's where it always falls apart. |
luckyirish83 (OP) User ID: 5217613 Canada 12/04/2011 11:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Imho, true love removes most or all of our selfish thoughts and behavior. Quoting: DoodleBug Love is all about sharing and giving, not taking and that's where today's society loses out. See, I don't see how that is possible though. With all do respect Doodle..as humans we are prone to be selfish at times, one way or another..it's our human ways. Society loses out on a lot of things but I find it REALLY hard to believe that "love" can change you completly. Maybe i'm wrong and maybe you have that..but i can't see it. As humans, we all have faults and these days, barely anyone stays married. So it begs to question, has society changed our views on how we feel about it? With all the movies and songs..do we expect that grand feeling of euphoria only to be mislead and let down? I always hear of a time not so long ago when people were so happy..old fashioned i guess. |
