Just complete unselfish compassion for others. Few ever give love to another. Just demands and clinging. |

Yes, in truth, most people don't no love at all. They see love as needing something from others. They demand others to "love" them in return. To demand something from others is never real love. Just weakness. |

So they can use them to "support" them, to call on them to do for them when needed. Their view of love is all about weakness and greed. |

The freedom comes when you are willing to love strangers, and demanding nothing in return, no reciprocation, no reward, not even being aware that you love them. Alone. Privately. To tell others that you love them is nothing more than your selfish Ego talking. You are just demanding that they "love" you in return. That is when you will find real peace and happiness. |

Love is patient, it is kind, it dI speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1035552 Love is the most miss understood and misused word in the English language. People don't really "love", they leach, cling, manipulate and control others, not love them. Love in todays world is more like lust.. and not just sexual lust, people lust for all those things you mentioned and misconstrue it for love or even liking someone else because they provide those things.. You know what true love is.. True love is meeting a girl when your dirt poor, and having her still be with you through that.. To me that is unconditional and pure.. Now days, most women leech on to men for security and men get blinded by hot bodies and sex.. Like I met this smoking hot girl the other day at work (tattoo shop), she had the best body I ever seen, cute face, but the way she acted was ugly as fk.. I thought to myself, the poor sucker who ends up with her will have a fun five or 10 years, her looks will fade and blamo, realize the mistake.. Most men fall into that trap.. I prefer women to be more down to earth and compassionate.. |

Two people can give each other something they can't have for themselves. A man has a penis and a woman a vagina, and without both, copulatory orgasmic joy cannot be had. Both are required, both give, and hopefully both receive joy together. People are needy in different ways, and a creative transactional relationship can help both be happier. |

Real love is not and emotion of the brain, but instead comes from the heart/spirit. |
