love really exist.
i love my parents, my sister and my 2 brothers. And i feel that they love me too.
Every minute of the hour, I always feel that someone cares for me.
And I believe that is love. We think first before doing anything coz we might
hurt someone, I believe that is also love.

Love is
beauty?
Power?
and pain?
Love is
eternity?
Consumption?
and sorrow?
Love is
fog?
Rain?
and blue skies?
Love is
memories?
Heartbreak?
and dreams?
Is it all of these things
but so much more?
Does it open a window after closing a door?
If love lasts forever
how can you say never?
If this is what love is
then it cant really exist?
If true love never ends
then why aren’t we still friends?
I thought I knew
But I guess I didn’t
I believed you.
if love exists how will you know.. everyone makes up stories and blows things out of proportion.. "you'll know its love when you can see yourself spending the rest of your life with someone" let me tell you all im only 17 i think ive experianced love but then again i dont know.. people say love is meant to last forever but if it doesnt then it cant exist. can it?

Love exists. Love is not a feeling or an emotion, not something you experience. It doesn't always mean romantic love either. I think threadstarter was talking about general human compassion for one another. It exists, but because man is inherently wicked there's also so much hate in the world. Love is something that the giver must choose to give.
It's true that there is no more wonderful feeling than the feeling you have when you love someone else, and it feels pretty good when you have the certainty and assurance that somebody else loves you too. But love is not itself a feeling. It is the cause of feelings; it is not a feeling itself.
True love is a choice. The only way to learn about love is by loving somebody else through your own choice. When your sister annoys you but you love her anyway so you forgive her. When your brother steals your girl but you love him anyway so you forgive him. When you discover a flaw in you girlfriend whom you thought was so perfect and flawless, but you love her anyway. When the romantic feelings you have for someone die away and your heart doesn't beat twice as fast whenever she/he walks in the door or looks at you anymore, but you are still committed to them for life because you love them anyway. That's love.
When someone's hurting and you comfort them, that's love. Maybe you feel sorry for them, but love is not the sympathy you felt, love is comforting them when they need comforting. You choose to love.
With all the hatred, cheating, murder, selfishness, and greed in the world today, sometimes I wonder if love exists as well. It does, though, and I know it, because when I fail as a son to my parents, a brother to my siblings, or a friend to my friends, and they still love me as a son, brother, and friend, I know that love exists. When somebody else fails me and I still love them anyway, and I still love them anyway; or when someone needs friendship or sympathy or just someone to talk to; then when I choose to love them and be there for them, I know that love is real, and the greatest thing a human being can experience in their relatoinships with other humans is when they give love to somebody else.

My dear friend its not that by the dominance of a few unpleasant situatuations of ur life for a certain period of time will deny the existence of love. Though these evils talked by uyou do exis in the society and this actually presents the darker side of the world but of course it has a fairer side to it too.
You might feel that you are being cheated by someone for the benifit of his or her but behind those benifits there is the sense of love for the near and dear ones even if someone says that he is doing something just for himself then also he is in love with himself. So we cannot deny the existence of love at the lowest possible level .One maynot love the rest of te world but he cannot stop loving thyself and my dear friend one who loves thyself can only love others

I believe in love, but people would change their view as circumstances change, so i mean it is not like that love dissapears, it is the environmet that changes.
I can feel the love of my family but sometimes i still find myself not well understood by my family, but it's ok, their love won't change just because of some misunderstandings.
Most important, only when we believe in love and give love can we feel and get loved.

Love has been there, and always will be. It will never change, yet it is never the same. Don't you feel as if there is someone that you would die for? That is love. It is a mixture of different things.
But even in the world today when love is so hard to precive it is still there. It is us that have changed. We care to much about matireal things and depend too much on stereotypes. The love is hard to uncover that it has become buried in a wave of different emotions.
It is the way we have evolved. Feeling only love and nothing else causes you to not think about the things you are doing. It can blind you and make you do terrible things. Yet with all the other emotions we feel love can be joyful and beatiful. But as we feel more and more and unessacery things too. The love becomes less deep and forcefull. And we do not think of it as much.
You can think you love someone, and then be betrayed by them. THat is the hardest thing to cope with, if you beleived they loved you.
Many clans in Afica inicate members by putting them on a drug taken from a native tree. It encorages strong hallusinatoins and memories, yet is only a way out, to think and reepent to a god( if you beleive in gods ) or to just plan ahead. Think about your life and you'll find there are many things that you have done that have been void of love.
THe best thing to do is forgive, and forgiveness is the most beatifull thing, it is love itself yet somehow more thoughtfull. Just forgive and stay in contact with those who have hurt you.
Always stay hopefull.
- It is better to have loved and lost
- Than never loved at all
- They also say love gives you wings
-But what happens when you fall?
- I'll be there to catch you
- This time and the next
- Love will be there to catch you
- Unless forgiveness intersects.

Absolutely yes! Just because it's not noticable all the time doesn't mean it's not there. Do you have friends? Is there anyone you feel kindly towards? If not, then you have never 'met' love. A great thought-provoking book to read which discusses in great detail this emotion is "The Four Loves" by C.S. Lewis.

Unconditional love is the rarest thing in the universe, but when it exists, it exists. All other love, which is most love, does not exist. It will end. There will be pain. Love that is not unconditional and unbreakable is not love.
