TRUE LOVE...

Below are the answers of some of my students when I asked them about their definition/s of TRUE LOVE. The respondents belong to the 18-21 age group.

----
  1. Is when you are with someone whom you are comfortable and happy with.
  2. Is when two people accept each other’s weaknesses.
  3. Is when you are able to love unconditionally and you’re both happy in the relationship
  4. Is when you can be yourself with each other and still be happy. It is also when one can say they would die for the other.
  5. Is God because God is Love – He is not merely loving because He is love itself.
  6. Is like dinking booze, you know you’ll get a hangover in the morning, but you’ll take the risk and drink up anyway!
  7. Is when you feel that you have found the perfect person whom you want to spend the rest of your life with.
  8. Is something that can never be explained by words. It can only be described and exemplified through one’s actions.
  9. Is felt when you are willing to sacrifice or give up anything for that person. It is something that varies in meaning for it is based on a person’s specific perspective and his/her own experiences.
  10. Is something we will never find, it is just his thought of the perfect kind of love, but nothing is really perfect.
  11. Is when you accept someone whole heartedly. It is when you think about him all the time. It is when you feel secure in his arms.
  12. Is when you are willing to sacrifice anything for that person. Also, if you are willing to change yourself for the better. It is also true love if you’re willing to share your life with him.
  13. Never dies. It is giving, caring, not jealous, unselfish etc.
  14. Is a human emotion that goes beyond wordly desires, it has the ability to see beyond the physical appearance and sees another being in different yet special way. You have it you when you start feeling the mixture of joy and pain and is the reason why you want to live.
  15. Is when people have a deeper than usual connection. There are four elements of r a successful relationship: Friendship-Emotional-Spiritual-Physical, and in that order. Once these 4 parts are achieved, we can say there is true love due to the presence of love, trust and respect and acceptance.
