Zone1 True Love - The Hardest Goal to Achieve in Life

[Luckyone]

True love is the hardest thing to achieve in life because you must first become the type or a person that can be loved, then you need to learn how to give true love, and then the toughest thing to do is to find someone that has done both as well.

I am the luckiest person I know because I have accomplished both. In addition, she is a very talented singer who is also beautiful.

I wrote this poem when I married her in 2001.

I Am In Love​

"I am in love" is a very simple statement
And one that’s said a million times a day
And yet I know my feelings are much deeper
Than those simple words can ever say

How can I have you feel the tremors
That shake my body when I think of you?
Or have you know the awesome power
You have to take away my "blue"?

I wake up every single morning
And thoughts of you pervade my mind
I go to sleep each and every evening
And feel your soul cuddling to mine

And in between those waking moments
My heart is filled with pure and utter joy
For just the knowledge of your love for me
Makes me feel like an innocent young boy

My days are filled with brim and fervor
As everything I see or touch I like
And everyone who I meet in person
Seems to draw upon my smiling sight

I love the way you make me feel
So full of purpose and of goals
And yet I know that when I’m with you
I tend to lose my learned controls

The physical desire I feel within me
Is unlike any I have ever known before
For I dream of being deep inside of you
In mind, body, heart and soul

My love for you is endless
In fact it grows much every day
I know that as time goes forward
It will expand in every way

This love I have for you inside of me
Is greater than the one I have for my own self
As I would gladly sacrifice my very existence
If it meant your happiness and health

So when they ask "Do you truly, really love her?"
I can surely answer "Yes, I really, truly do"
For I know true love requires giving
And I am giving all I have to you.

Love of God is more important.

Love of thyself comes first

God and family. That's where the love begins and ends. What more is there?

What does Love mean? What is the definition of Love?

What does Love mean? What is the definition of Love?

Loving someone for who they are unconditionally

 

[Unkotare]

Love of God is more important.

They are the same thing.

You used the word to define the word? Would you like to try again?

Every person on earth has good things and bad things. If you find someone that offers something that you want (is important to you), that is willing and offers it to you and that the negatives things are not overwhelming negatives that take away the good in them), you fall in love. Once you do that, you need to realize that the negatives that are there are not going to go away and you need to accept them and only look at the good things (ignore or give very little importance to the bad). That is unconditional love.

For it to work for both of you, she too has to do the same.

Thank you for your opinion. May I just ask, is there a difference of loving a person and being in love with the same person? The dictionaries often say Love is a deep like. I was asked both questions in a psychology class and to write a short essay on what is love and is there a difference between love and being in love as you stated?

I went to the Bible to see if I could find a definition. I really could not. But, one of the commandments is to Love the Lord thy God with all your mind, might and strength. So, being here on earth, separated from God, how can I love the Lord thy God? I found a simple definition. Love means to "Serve." Serve the Lord by serving others. Serve in all capacities that I can. This leads to a simple difference between loving a person and being in love.

Loving a person is serving their wants and needs in righteousness. I asked a General Authority of our world wide Church once in a one-to-one interview, How do I honor my mother and father if they do not follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ? He added two words, "Honor your mother and father IN RIGHTEOUSNESS." That I could do because they were very good and righteous people when they were alive. But, when they went against a principle of righteousness, I did not have to agree with them but still love them.

So, what is being "In love?" Being in love is what we have between a man and a woman in righteousness. We can love each other but also be intimate and in love with their beauty or sexuality. Perhaps their personality as well as long as it remains within the bounds the Lord has set. If not within the bounds the Lord has set, then it is no longer being in love. It is simply put, LUST. An unrighteous forgery of love. It would not be love to say you are in love with your daughter regardless if you are the mother or father. But, you love and serve your children even into adulthood in all righteousness.

Being "in love" is totally different than "loving that person" given that being in love is for your benefit alone. You are not giving unconditional love, your love is conditional as long as that person does what makes you feel good.

Loving someone unconditionally means forgiving them when they do something to you that hurts you.

It sounds like we are on the same page.

Love of thyself comes first

True.
If you can't love yourself, you can't love others.
If you can't love others, you can't love God.

Agape: Thoughtful loving service (head love).
Phileo: Emotional loving affection (heart love)

Love of thyself comes first

That depends. It's true you have to love and forgive yourself and you cannot really forgive others until you do that (unless you just say to Jesus: OK, I can't forgive this person but will do it because YOU say so).

One does not love oneself well without being first loved by God

God loves everyone. People.. not.

A leader in the company I work for once was giving a talk on the founder of our company. He was explaining that our founder's dad died at age 48 from a congenital heart defect. But, when it came out of his mouth, he said "He died from a heart genital defect." I had to leave the room several times from laughing so hard so I wouldn't interrupt him. After the meeting, a few of us were hanging around and those of us that heard it started to laugh again. The Leader asked what was so funny. He didn't realize what he had said. So, I said through my giggles, "I didn't know the heart was located below the belt." He asked what did he say and I told him. He was devastated that he said that but that was over 30 years ago and I still laugh about it.
My point is that Phileo is located lower than the heart when we say we are in love.
