Love is the immense capacity of emotion that one person holds for another. It’s such a concentration of feelings that in your passion, it’s easy to let emotions, positive or negative, get the best of you.
However, even if in your passion, negative emotions are put upon the person you love, your love for them prevents you from taking things too far. If you love someone, you should never want to hurt them, and your desire to bring them happiness should override any torrent of anger that beseeches you.
At least, in theory.
So many couples fight SO often. I’ve heard them say the nastiest, rudest things about each other. It’s no secret that there are many abusive relationships. And yet...they all claim to be in love. That’s why they stay together, isn’t it? “I love him. I can’t leave him.” or “I love her, it doesn’t matter.”
It freaking matters. You should never want to hurt someone that you “love”.
But if emotions are just ways that we interpret stimuli, then does love really exist? If all it is is a bodily reaction....then why should it influence us at all?
Regardless. If you love someone, you should be trying to be the best that you can be fore them. This often....is just not the case.
Or is that theory actually correct, and it’s just that all of these people aren’t truly “in love”? That’s actually much more plausible to me, because I have a really hard time believing that a lot of emotions really exist. I mean...I know they exist. But I think that people just misinterpret their emotions, so what they think is love is really just a fondness. Love is passionate, but always selfless. And that just doesn’t define a lot of couples that I see.
And I’m not just talking about teenagers, I’m talking about everyone. The divorce rate is staggering.
Everyone should just stop kidding themselves and not settle for anyone less than the person that makes them as happy as they can be, and makes them want to be the best they can be.
