True love is kind, caring, giving.. always willing to go that extra mile.. always makes time for that special someone, never failing, never ending, endures all challenges, overcomes all obstacles.. willing to make sacrifices, goes out of it's way to bring a smile to the one you are in love with... is always sensitive to one anothers feelings..
And something I have wondered for a long time.. are we possibly missing out on the one true love? Are we so wraped up in our life that we just won't open our eyes long enough see what is right in front of us?
Now with that being said.. this is a quote that I made over a year ago..
If you ever find true love, or it finds you, never let it slip through your fingers, because you may never find it again..
I would like to hear what everyone elses opinion is on this subject..
LOVE is not a feeling. Love is an action. Love is a choice. True Love is the action to choose unconditionally in the process of offering to another human being the qualities of: Affection, Care, Concern, Respect, Thoughtfulness, Forgiveness, Compassion, Trust, Joy and many other positive emotional expressions of value and worth toward ANY living being as being Loveable and valuable. Removing life support for a dying loved one. In every example, Love is an action through choice. When you see each other and have a smile on your face, when your loved one makes a mistake and you can't get angry wih him even when you try hard. When you think of spending every possible time with your loved one. This is True Love
"True love" can and will differ from person to person based on emotional maturity. To know true love you not only must love in such a way that you would give your own life at the drop of a hat to save him, but you must be loved in return. If you get married to someone, and fifteen years later, you can still look them in the eye and feel the same you did on your first date, then it's true love. Like the below quote; a good way to know true love is to base it on how you feel for the last person you love romantically in your life.
"We always believe that our first Love is our last, and our last Love is our first."
I used get choked up telling my late husband how much I cared about him. I'd feel pain every time he'd hurt. Every couple I see reminds me of him. Everything I wanted to do I wanted to do with him. I''d have a craving for something I craved it with with him. By telling each other we love each other meant more each time. I knew that I loved him more now than I did yesterday. I could be my absolute self with him and he can do the same. his beauty in my eyes will never fades. we realized we could disagree and compromise with each other.
True love: is hard to find and painful to lose, can be the best thing that happens to you or the worst, can drive you crazy or keep you sane, can destroy lives or save them, can stop wars or start them, can clarify or confuse, pushes and pulls people away, obvious and subliminal, is impossible to define
When one is aware of shortcomings of the partner and yet accepts. When the ego does not come in between in differences and one would rather clear the air, or apologize. and patch up, than break-up. When one 'desires' the partner inspite of not 'needing' or 'wanting' the other. When you 'chose' to be with him inspite of other options - not bec there are no options ! When you give each other space and respect individuality. When you enjoy togetherness - talking or even silence - and tender touching. When you cant even think of hurting or insult the partners feeling. Thats true love. Maybe too idealistic ? ! And it may or may not mean that it is reciprocated. It could be unrequited for all you know. But yet the memories bring a spring to the step and a smile on your face. You never wish him ill and would never harm in any way. These are just a few points which come to my mind but there is so much more. Like true love the topic is also 'endless'.

Then said Almitra, "Speak to us of Love."
And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them.
And with a great voice he said:
When love beckons to you follow him, though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth, so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

Very true, I think you have opened my eyes to something I should have seen, I tried to help someone yesterday to see a few things and it seemd to be ok then, but today was very different..
I am not the same man I was yesterday when I posted this thread, and I don't believe in love anymore, no longer will I ever show love and compassion for anyone ever again like I did before, my heart will be forever sealed from now on, never to be opened again, i'm tired of being accused of things I know that I am really not..
Hmm I will just some it up to what it really is ...
Love is ...it just plainly is .. it can not be justified or worded down to any conclusion ..to each person it represents something different ..so on that note love just is ..
True Love to me is the lifetime work of a man or woman to see things through the eyes of a child again. The effort and energy expended upon this journey is far beyond that required of any job, with absolutely no paycheck expected. True Love is giving away everything you have of real value and expecting no return. True Love is not taking but receiving. True Love is mutual, reciprocal, eternal, a circle like the ring that we use to physically represent it. True Love is the most wonderful gift any man woman or child can give or receive. True Love is the reason for life, not the reason to live. True Love is long suffering. True love is kind. True Love is not jealous. True love does not boast. True Love is not inflated. True Love is not discourteous. True Love is not selfish. True Love is not irritable. True Love does not enumerate the evil. True Love does not rejoice over the wrong. True Love rejoices in the truth. Ture Love covers all things. rue Love has faith for all things. True Love hopes in all things. True Love endures in all things. True Love never falls in ruins.

I am very familier with that... I have read my bible many times.. unfortunately there are those whom still need to learn what unconditional love is
Daniel4021: I am very familier with that... I have read my bible many times.. unfortunately there are those whom still need to learn what unconditional love is
There is only one person in the world we should truely give unconditional love to and that is our selves. Children should have it cause they are part of us and so unconditional love should be extended to them as well. And too truely raise our children well we need to love ourselves first then them, that makes them stronger.
