    1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (New International Version)

    4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

    Why?? - why do we put ourselves through the heartache and pain and waiting and problems and visa and phone calls and...and......and...
    when we could be with the woman or man down the road when we want.

    This is why i was asking what love is and why we want it so much?

    a friend once told me something about love, and maybe he could be right. he said... love is used by people to get what they want... women want security and assurance and men want sex. both use love to get these things.

    love and cynicism... not a good cocktail!

    The word “Cynic / cynicism” comes from Ancient Greek and means ‘doglike’ and was used to describe the behaviour of the philosopher Diogenes.

    Thus be careful when using the words sex and cynicism in the same sentence!

    my definitions about LOVE...

    Love is MAGIC coz It Bounds 2 people from thousand miles away.

    Love affects human behavior…
    can’t sleep proper…can’t eat that much…forgot many things… forgot what’s in order…

    Love sometimes deceiving …it made us blind …..but in order to conquer negative act… love teaches us in positive ways like..being understanding, patience, loyal, faithful and A better person from the experience we had from love.....
    And lastly LOVE is the reason why I live….

    You really got me here Mark!!! Love for me is unconditional...comes pain and sorrows, thru good times and bad times, you still choose that person regardless of her past, flaws, and anything that is far from your "dream girl" when you we're younger, which I knew everybody here happens to draw or put into picture the kind of person they would be in love with when they we're younger, but as days passed, It will turn to nothing. For most of the time, the one u happen to be in love with, posseses all the qualities that you never dare dream of in what you called "dream girl" or prince charming. But even then, you still would want to be with that person and you just can't live a day without her/him.
    For me...I would know if I'm in love when I could say to this person "you're the one I wanna grow old with and you are the one I wanna be with, for the rest of my life ........

    now I feel like singing here....:9:

    Only you...can make this world seem bright
    Only you can make the darkness bright..
    When you hold my hand, I'll understand the magic that you dooo
    You're my dream come true my one and only you...

    Only you can make this change in me
    For it's true, you are my destiny..
    When u hold my hand, I'll understand the magic that you do
    You're my dream come true
    My one and only youuuu

    What is this thing called "LOVE"?

    "To describe love is very difficult, for the same reason that words cannot fully describe the flavor of an orange. You have to taste the fruit to know its flavor. So with love."

    "Could it be that Love is a story that can never be fully expressed?"

    Love is looking past imperfections in your partner and seeing the beautiful person inside. True love seeks the happiness and well being of your partner. Love expresses itself in the mutual respect you demonstrate to your partner."

    Love has no meaning other than the meaning "we" give it.

    "A sad thing about life is that when you meet someone who means a lot to you, you'll find out in the end that it was never bound to be and just have to let her go. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so when we finally meet the right person, we should know the grateful for the gift."

    "It hurts to LOVE someone and not be loved in return, but what is painful is to LOVE someone and never have the courage to let that person know how you feel. It is always better to have found the courage to LOVE even if you lose it in the end rather than losing love because your were afraid to face its challenge."

    "Love is a CHOICE! In every thing we do and in every way we respond to other people in that moment we choose to either come from our highest space of compassion, empathy and good will or a lesser space inside of ourselves. When we decide to approach ourselves or other people from that higher place we are choosing to love. In every moment, if we can just stop our and think for a second instead of just reacting, we have the opportunity to choose to love. No matter what the situation."

    "The secret of our being is not only to live but to have something to live for."

    Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing, And your voice caught within your chest?

    * It isn't Love, it's Like.

    You can't keep your eyes or hands off of them, am I right?

    * It isn't Love, it's Lust.

    Are you proud, and eager to show them off?

    * It isn't Love, it's Luck.

    Do you want them because you know they're there?

    * It isn't Love, it's Loneliness.

    Are you there because it's what everyone wants?

    * It isn't Love, it's Loyalty.

    Do you stay for their confessions of Love, because you don't want to hurt them?

    * It isn't Love, it's Pity.

    Are you there because they kissed you, or held your hand?

    * It isn't Love, it's being Unconfident.

    Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat?

    * It isn't Love, it's Infatuation.

    Do you pardon their faults because you care about them?

    * It isn't Love, it's Friendship.

    Do you tell them every day they are the only one you think of?

    * It isn't Love, it's a Lie.

    Are you willing to give all of your favorite things for their sake?

    * It isn't Love, it's Charity.

    Does your heart ache and break when they're sad?

    * Then it's Love.

    Are you attracted to others, but stay with them faithfully without regret?

    * Then it's Love.

    Do you accept their faults because they're a part of who they are?

    * Then it's Love.

    Do you cry for their pain, even when they're strong?

    * Then it's Love.

    Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply it hurts?

    * Then it's Love.

    But do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible mix of pain and elation pulls you close and holds you?

    * Then it's Love.

    Would you give them your heart, your life, your death?

    * Then it's Love.

    Now, if Love is painful, and tortures us so,
    why do we Love?
    Why is it all we search for in life?
    This pain, this agony?
    Why is it all we long for?
    This torture, this powerful death of self?
    Why?
    Because it's...
    Love

    Hi mark!
    there are four types of love according to Greeks.
    1. Agape - love extended from one to another through a relationship with God, also God's love for a person.
    2. Phileo - brotherly love as between siblings and close friends.
    3. Storge - family love as in love from a parent to a child
    4. Eros - romantic love, sexual.

    The love you feel with the other sex is eros

    My Opinion:
    you're inlove:
    when you get up in the morning, she's the first thing on your mind. you wonder if she's also awake
    when you're eating, you ask yourself, 'is she also eating'
    when you're working, you always get mistake in your works. you wonder what she's doing that time and if she's safe in her work.
    before you go to bed, you wonder if she's also going to bed or sleeping.
    Conclusion: He/she is in your mind all the time whatever you do.

    Why do we keep in touch and have to undergo all this internet communication, waiting and visa process in a long distance relationship? because if you're already in love with your online bf/gf, spending time with someone else is useless & worthless. because the only person who can make you happy is your online bf/gf.
