Love And Love Essay: What Is Love?

Love

What is love? I am constantly hearing this question often from others, I even ask myself this question daily. In our generation love is not really love. People are set to believe that love is all about the sex, affection, the happiness someone should offer, how much time they should offer us, and even the money. Love today is nothing the way it was before, people define love into many different categories, it is so hard to keep up with. I know that love is not about what someone must offer, love is about the way you feel towards someone, the connection you both bring out of each other, the value of the friendship, and the constant struggles you both go through with each other. Love is valuable not just something you can pick and choose

Unlike younger adults who instantly see someone, find them attractive, and automatically want to start a relationship. Rather than people who are older or define love the way I define it as, start a relationship with someone you are best friends with, have that connection when knowing or dating for a long time. Younger kids do not understand the concept of how love is, they seem to as well think they are in love when someone talks to them, likes their picture on social media.

My parents aren’t perfect, they been through a lot money struggles, constant fights of there being no

Their love was showing us that they “had it all” the money, the expensive gifts, the cars, the happy moments they exposed over the media for us to view. Society all wanted the Tyga and Kylie type of relationship. Media does affect our relationships, or what we define love as by showing us the movies, the talk shows, staying connected with others’ lives. that contain having lust with someone but as well loving them in every desirable way. The media showing us that it is all happiness, it does not show us the real true and meaning of love. I read an article about how media can affect our love life in many ways by giving us the wrong image about love, and of how we see others when beginning to start a life with them. In the article it states, “Can technology and media aid intimacy? In many ways, yes. However, they also have a polarizing effect on relationships. According to recent studies, the average American takes in about 3,500 to 5,000 marketing messages a day and spends about 41 hours per week using technology such as cellphones, Tv, video games, music, and the internet.” The concept is to show that the media is controlling the way we define love, or the way we interact with others. We are so busy on social media rather than being outside, meeting new people, getting to know them and understanding the concept of interacting with others who you are willing to
