Love

[Iridium]

No need to be pessimistic about it acein12.

That's only from the people you know, everyone can benefit from love.
You just have to find the right person to give it to, and never expect anything in return, that is if it's unbridled love.

Still, it can be painful and most of the time it is, but it's worth it when you actually find someone you love and are loved in return. That's the goal, there is always someone out there for you. As for the first part, yes that was a little careless of Prodigy.

^Tsk, yeah right. Its a dog eat dog world. Maybe things were nice back when Roses didn't have thorns but those days are long gone. If you honestly think these newer trends and meaning crossing such "good" words mean the same as they did before, then you're truly mistaken. I do remember know for a fact that in my area only about one or two peple have managed relationships for over a year, but plenty who've pretty much been put on the "bad guy" side just because of love. More end up destoryed than salvated, and at that, a VERY slim marigin is salvated.

It all just depends on how much pain you've been through. And how long you've waited.
I wish I was in a relationship so bad, that's all I really need right now

You can benefit from love, but some of the biggest wounds you will experience in life can be inflicted by it. I always try to remember that. The one you love the most, can also hurt you the most.

Eh maybe you're just a pessimist; that would give me a reason not to say anything.

Avoiding it doesn't make it dissaper...

Maybe, if you're a pussy.

You aren't "one or two people". Don't try to justify love as being nonexistent and vile just because you live in a crap-shoot. When you leave that town, go and find a nice partner, buy him/her flowers, take him/her out to dinner, and have passionate, romantic kisses with him/her. And then, suddenly, life isn't so bad when you make an effort to move forward.

Love...
I love love, if you could say that. It makes you feel good. When you see the boy/girl you like very much, your heart starts beating faster, you can feel a flutter in your stomach... And maybe you blush slightly.

Love can be cruel, too. I fell for a boy who goes to the same trainings as me. He looks good, he talks to me a lot, he defends me if someone hurts me and he is kind. But a girl from his class fell for him too, and took him from me.

I have moved forward, though. This place is so small, that you rarely find anyone, so I just have to wait till I move somewhere else.

Don't give up, if your love life isn't going so well. You'll find the one someday...

Fixed

I'd rather not get confrontational; that's not my style.
And what Xanagar said is the gist of what I was going to post previously.

[Gabo]

Love is not a feeling, Mr. Burns. It's an ability.

Yay for gay?

Her essential her-ness.

You don't hurt, you don't grow.

Sounds like a fantasy, seems like fantasy, must be fantasy. People don't change when you go from place to place. You can't assume, one towns sucks, but another place is heaven. Its doesn't work that way.

More like truth.

Except it's not a fantasy. Sounds to me like you've been hurt in the manners of love, and now you're bitching. And you're the one who is assuming that love everywhere is shit, which is so stupid and ignorant on a level I can't even surmise.

Stop acting as though love is only a path to the forlorn; it's not. It can be a beautiful thing, as long as you don't moan and groan every time you get hurt.

[Ecstasy]

You're forgetting that shadowysights is fifteen and is obligated to come across as a whiny teenager who's vast experiences with love led him to the conclusion that it's all dark and bad and unhappy.

[Rich]

Love.

Haha.

First thing's first, love has a tendency to be fickle a lot of times. Everyone can attest to that.

Do I believe in permanent, long lasting, true love? Yes. The thing is, love comes in many forms.

You can have love between a mother and her child, love between a man and his dog, love between best friends, even love for material possessions.

And yes, you can have love between 2 unrelated people who happen to, as culture says, "fall in love."

Do I believe true love exists for that last one? Yes, I do. And I sure do hope I find it one day, just as many others do.

As far as the chemical reactions go, scientists can find no different between what goes on in the body over lust and what goes on over love. I'd like to think love is something much deeper than just a physical reaction, more of a spiritual reaction. The body's arousal is simply the response to this overwhelming emotion.
