...Jackson Brown, Jr. that goes, “Love is when the other person’s happiness is more important that your own.” To put it differently, it is when a person suffers long for someone you find yourself loving him or her. However, in the dictionary, love was only described through the intensity of the feeling. It does not explain fully what to experience inside ‘love’. Nevertheless, it all arrives in some point. Love is vulnerable, unconditional and a decision. Love means to embrace vulnerability. Vulnerability means capable of being hurt physically or emotionally. Love involves both but often times, it is the feelings that is involve. Usually, when a person loves someone, he or she tends to do everything for him or her. Even if it means getting hurt, they will still continue. Being vulnerable means accepting everything is going to happen, anything is going to happen. It sounds scary but people become this kind of people because of love without even them knowing. It won’t be a weakness because this will be their strength, they will gain courage. They will face obstacles even if it looks like they are not going to survive. It is what makes them strong. Vulnerability makes its beauty visible. It is like a balloon, it is fragile but it looks so much better if it is seen and not hidden and if it is felt and not absent. It exhibits its beauty in its own way. That’s what love becomes when it’s vulnerable. The beauty of the relationship becomes noticeable. Love means to give everything unconditionally...

...relationships that exists overflow with variety. They all work in a weird way and all fall apart for obvious reasons to people on the outside of the relationship. We have read many interesting short stories and I found that the theme of love kept appearing also with Tartuffe. Love comes in all different ways. I will discuss the theme of love in Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald and What We Talk about When We Talk about Love by Raymond Carver. I saw that there was Lust and Love in these two stories. The word lust is defined as an intense longing or unbridled sexual desire.(lust). The word love is defined as a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person. (love). The difference between them is very simple, love is constant and lust is just an intense longing that can end anytime. A person is blinded when they lust for someone but true love is based on respecting each other and understanding each other’s likes and dislikes giving it a better chance to last longer. In Carver’s story, there are two relationships present that I want to go into more detail that will help show whether love or lust is stronger. In Fitzgerald’s story, one man is in love with a woman who doesn't love him and ends up losing a woman for his future. I chose these two stories because they were able to give a variety of love that is present in our world today. Raymond Carver’s title to his story, What We Talk about When We Talk about Love, just seems like a dead end already before you can even...

...Power of Love and Relationships Within this paper I will be discussing power of love and relationships, by describing the factors of attraction. What attracts us to one another? Why are we less likely to befriend someone from another culture than someone from a similar background with a similar physical aesthetic? Be sure to identify and describe all six factors in attraction. As well as discuss the human need to build bonds and relationships. Do we have an innate need to belong? If so, why? How is this need attached to our emotions, our social bonds, and our fear of deprivation? Then lastly explain the three types of love: companionate, passionate, and compassionate. What are the differences and similarities among them? What is an example of each type? How does Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love distinguish romantic love, from empty love or infatuation? Attraction Within the discussion of what attracts people to one another? The textbook states “we like those who are close to us… , …we like those who are attractive… , …we like those who are similar to us… , …we like those we have equitable relationships with… and …we like those who are hard to get.” (Feenstra, 2013) It is easy to understand the first of these as the likelihood or meeting and establish a relation is more likely with people that are in our general proximity. But with age of the online community and social networking company that are out there is a growing connection that are being made with people that...

...Mondays and Wednesdays at 1:45-3:00 19 February 2014 The main theme of the two poems is love. However, their prospective on the topic differs just slightly. In “Love is Not All” by Edna St. Vincent Millay tells how love will not cure a sickness or injury, but in some way it is still a necessity in life. Whereas in “Since feeling is First” by E. E. Cummings describes how love is more important than logic in the end and how you should not worry about what you are getting out of love because it is essential for a well-balanced life. The main theme in the two poems is how love is not explainable, but is needed for a well-balanced life. They both portray that love is not necessarily logical. It cannot be described or explained perfectly because you do not think about it. It just needs to be in your life. Love never heals the sick or weak, but it does have a powerful influence on our well-being. Love is not all about living in the reality of things. However, at the end of it all they still represent what someone feels love is and the main theme in both of these poems is love. Even though they are comprised of the same theme they are very much different on the point of view of love and also structure. Their prospective on love can cause these poems not to be paired together because they are so different. “Love is Not All” asks the question what can love do for you, why do we hold love so highly. It also explains that even though we obviously cannot cure the sick or repair the...

...loyalty. It does notreally matter which one because they are all forms of love. Some are powerful and demand attention while others are more subtle and just below the surface. In recent years, love has drifted from these subtle levels to the more noticeable ones, namely passion. In my opinion, our society downplays the real necessity for genuine affection. By this I mean that we, as a society, spend so much time focusing on only one level of love (passion) that we tend to neglect and not recognize the need for closeness and trust (friendship). Love is an all-encompassing emotion that can be powerful and demanding, but also rewarding and pleasurable. What is the one emotion that has everyone mystified? What is the one emotion that has started as many wars as it has ended? What emotion has had more plays, songs, and stories written about it than anything else? Love, that one emotion that makes enemies into friends and friends into enemies. So many legends surround this emotion, from the goddess Athena and Helen of Troy to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. *-(* George Sand *)*- Love is the greatest gift we can ever hope to give or receive. Love is the one thing that can overcome so many of the difficult times that we are faced with in life. Love is so powerful - it can turn frowns into smiles. It can help mend the most broken heart. It can even turn all of the ugliness in the world into the most beautiful portrait...

...Power of Love & Relationships Introduction If you have ever been in a relationship then you have experienced attraction and some form of love. Often times we wonder how we ended up in a particular relationship or why it went wrong. Then we look at relationships of people we know who are still together after many years and wonder what the trick is to having a relationship like that. The only way to answer these questions is to look at the various factors which contribute to the forming of attractions, love and relationships. We also need to understand the different types of love so we understand the differences in the love we feel for family, friends and partners. Having the ability to distinguish between the different forms of love can help to keep us from mistaking close friends for potential dates or partners. Six Factors of Attraction Attraction can be a tricky thing to understand. There are times we will find someone we are physically attracted but for some reason beyond the initial physical attraction nothing else is there. This is because there are multiple factors to attraction, six to be exact. Have you ever become friends with someone who you did not like upon meeting them? This is rather common. It is in part due to the mere-exposure effect which is our tendency to like people more when we are exposed to them on a regular basis (Myers, 2010). The frequent exposure may cause a friendship to form between unlikely candidates. Frequent exposure can...

...with him being here, Abram. I don’t love him like I thought I did and while you do hold some of the reason for why I came to this conclusion, you aren’t the only thing. I tried really hard to just forget about things that have happened with us, which was super stupid, and even when I entirely placed them to the side, I don’t love him like I thought I did. You’ve showed me something entirely new. You are the FIRST guy that I have actually had access too that isn’t abusive. You’ve shown me that “Hey, guess what? There are super nice guys out there. There is someone out there that can help you.” I now understand why so many people just say no to LDR’s. I cannot deal with this. And it isn’t just the distance, it’s him. He’s not a bad guy or anything, but our personalities just don’t mesh very well. I don’t feel comfortable around him at all, I constantly feel like I am a host and that I’m required to take care of his every need at all times disregarding my own wants and needs for him. While I said that for you I place your wants and needs above mine, that’s true, but I don’t do it ALL the time. I really love you, but you don’t make me feel like I need to sacrifice most things, but with him, there’s no escaping him and how he is currently making me feel. I know he doesn’t mean too, but I feel like I am just babysitting him. I don’t know what to do Abram. He’s here for six weeks and you’re elaving TOMORROW. Do you understand this. I don’t know what in the world I’m going to do without...

It is a definition and meaning that philosophers, psychologists, and biologists have been seeking since the beginning of time. Wars have been waged and fought over it, while friendships have been initiated and have ended because of this idea. But what exactly is love, and why is it important to define this enigma? In order to help define this idea of love, several...

...Love or Perish In the book “Tuesdays with Morrie,” by Mitch Albom, Mitch recalls the time spent with his professor, Morrie Schwartz, at Brandeis University, who was dying from Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). After neglecting Morrie for several years, Mitch begins to visit Morrie every Tuesdays to listen to Morrie's lessons on "The Meaning of Life." Each of Morrie's lessons contributes to a larger, all-encompassing message that is in the absence of love, there is a hole that can be filled only by loving human relationships. Morrie says when love abounds; a person can experience no higher sense of fulfillment. Throughout his Tuesday lessons with Mitch, Morrie reveals that love is the essence of every person, and every relationship, and without it, living life is pointless. We as humans need to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance, whether it comes from friends or family. According to psychologist, Abraham Maslow, humans yearn to love and be loved by others. In the absences of these needs, many people become prone to loneliness and depression. Humans need for love places emphases on the point that love is not only essential, but important to everyone. “I may be dying, but I am surrounded by loving, caring souls. How many people can say that?” (pg 36, Morrie). For Morrie, the importance of love is especially clear as he nears his final days, for without the thorough care of those he loved, and who love him, he would not have lived as long as he did. Morrie clings to life not...

...A flock of sheep wanders as the all-seeing shepherd meanders nearby. He watches them closely as they consume their daily vittles provided by nature, making sure not even one sheep goes astray, or that any predator comes to disrupt the supposed bliss. The shepherd's love for his flock is that of presumed perfection. He maintains the assumption that as long as he guards the flock and provides ample grazing land, the flock will provide him with copious amounts of wool: that their relationship will be all right. Unfortunately, this simply may not be true; his flock can produce the wool or it may suffer from an unexpected disease or any other ailment and their presumed relationship will fail. As Christopher Marlowe so elegantly presented in “The...

...Daniela Jauk Introduction to Sociology 4 February 2013 Love and Lyrics What is love? Love is a journey and a risk. It is difficult to maintain and easy to mistake. It is not always simple for someone to know when they have found love. When asking the question “When do you know your in love?” there is a common response of “When you are you will know.” That is a very frustrating response; it is far from concrete and can easily drive a person mad. Love is life’s mystery that everyone wants to experience. The love song, “When a Man Loves a Woman” (1966), by Percy Sledge can just about sum up being in love and the many ups and downs in less than three minutes. The woman’s love is all he needs but she can break him and “play him for a fool” and “he’s the last one to know”. This kind of love is near slavery in the control that the woman holds over the man. The line, “She can do no wrong” proves that the man is blinded by his love. Love hurts, especially when it is one-sided. There are no limits of what a man would do when he loves a woman. When Sledge wrote this song if he was not in love at the time he definitely knew what it was like to be ruled by love for a woman. The pain that you can hear in his voice tells it all. He has been there and that love was right in-between heaven and hell. “Maybe I’m Amazed” (1970), by Paul McCartney is a very simple love song with lyrics that hold a lot of meaning. McCartney’s approach to love in this song is humble and naturally, amazed. He is shocked...
