Is Love Good or Evil?

Is Love Good or Evil?

Love is an emotion we all experience in our lives. The feeling is

amazing for most people and not so wonderful for others. As I searched

for the word love in the dictionary, the definition explained it to be a

strong affection and warm attachment for another person. I believe the

word love has a more intense and deeper meaning than any dictionary is

able to represent. It does little to define what love is beyond the

eyes of the person who actually experiences it. A person that is

familiar with the term learns the emotions and feelings that develops

throughout the relationship. A dictionary definition is unable to

explain the true meaning of love. This is why it is my duty to clarify

what love is, or in some cases, what love is not.

love we share with our animals. There is even the love for our prized

possessions, but the love I wish to explain is shared between a man and

a woman. Many individuals search for this type of love. These people

come together and begin a relationship. Some relationships last and

others fade away.

This type of love is thought to be the candy, flowers, or even

the first glance, and they live happily ever after. What would be the

meaning of music without this emotion? There are not many songs that do

not relate to love. Love se...

sickness. When we think we are in love, we need to be aware. It can go

two ways; either we remain together with the person or we live our lives

separately. Know that love is about caring for the other person’s well

being. It grows slowly and we have trust and confidence in the

relationship. We work harder and we are in no rush to make decisions

because the future is planned with confidence. Our lives would not be

complete without that certain somebody. We feel their hurt, and their

problems become our own. We are not selfish when we are in love. Love

is a relationship which is best expressed by trust, honesty, and

respect. It cannot be mistaken by the infatuation we feel in the first

stage of the relationship. Although it brings pain and anger at times,

love is vital to numerous people.
