love?

all love is unrequited. its true, ALL love is unrequited. how can your love, as different as you are from your neighbor, be exactly felt by any other person and returned to you? you will never know exactly how I feel and I will never know how you feel and so you will never know what I feel for you. love, at the very best, is imperfect and I think that�s why its so attractive. something you can try to understand for your entire life and never be any closer to it when you die as you were on the day you were born. we, all of us, enjoy the eternal suffering of a concept that can never really be explained, this "love", this battle, this sorrow, this dance that makes us human. thoughts?

I agree. No one can ever get inside of your head. No one can ever truly relate to you because even if they went through the exact same experience you did, they perceived it differently based on their own experiences.

I think love is having someone to share life with; someone to be important to and someone who is important to you. You will never love them the exact same way they love you, but that's ok.

Of course, they will never be able to fully satisfy the ache in your heart. They will just be someone to comiserate with. You will always long in this life for that which no person can give: absolute unconditional love and acceptance. It's not their job.

I'll agree that love can be imperfect.

But just because I don't know how you feel doesn't mean I can't feel the same way.

i agree with it all, and as a result i disagree with most people's concept of love. i have said before that i dont believe in love, but that's only when it was defined in a certain way. love only exists because there is no single definition for it that everyone shares.

and, also because i agree with everything you say, love is not something i deem as important to my life

i think that's the point. i think that it's impossible to get back the EXACT love you give, unless you're loving..yourself.

if love comes back to you it should be different. why would you want to get something you already have?
