Love is never a waste
Person A: My brother spent a lot of money to fly overseas about 2 times to see his girlfriend.
Person B: Long distance relationships fail.
Person A: She came back with him and now they’re married.
Person B: At least they’re together now. If it didn’t work out, that would have been really stupid on his behalf.
This was a conversation I saw in a chat room the other day. I wanted to hit Person B over the head with a large mallet. How would that have been stupid? What happens when you go overseas to see someone? You get to see the person (duh) and spend some time with them.
Apparently, according to Person B, spending money to go see a person you love and spend time with them is really stupid unless the relationship “works out”. I guess what he really means is that it’s a waste of time and money unless the two people end up living together. But even if they don’t end up living together, they still got to see each other. They still have the experience of that, and the memories, and they got to know each other a bit better.
I can only conclude that Person B was not talking about unconditional love, and has probably never experienced it. The sad thing is that this kind of thinking is quite common, and generally encouraged. People think it’s “smart” to focus on what they can “get out of” a relationship, and if they aren’t “getting enough” then it’s a waste of time.
Don’t ever fall for this “logic”. It will do more to prevent you from experiencing unconditional love than it will ever do to help you find more of it.

Love is only a waste to the ones that don’t feel it, or have never experienced it. But to thoughs who have experienced love, you know when you’ve fallen for him/her because it just hits you all of the sudden! And in that very moment nothing else matters but that feeling of loving someone and being loved in return because honestly that all everyone really wants. Truth is their just afraid to accept it.

Love is never ending, it has to nurcherd. Yes I have love and lost and the experience was worth all we put into it. To keep love sometimes is hard you have to be willing to put the time into and expect nothing in return. Oh yes there can be lust and the meeting of two in that special moment experiencing each other what a wonderful feeling. Keep the spice in it don’t let it die for when the person passes you have the wonderful memories that will bring you to love again.

love is giving all for those who loved.That means not only money,time and power but more than that you pay for love including your life also.If you love any one your happiness is his happiness not only must be together.LOVE 4 EVER

This is a big disease.

For me though, this is the only thing that gives meaning to life.The darker side of it is lust and the brighter side is a sensational feeling with thoughts.

for the first time in my life I read something that brought pure joy in my heart… reading the passage and your comments has been bliss, which kinda sparked the “love” i have bt skeptic abt. Most people are afraid to love, so they’d rather not- hence resolving to lust, promiscuity etc. bt im not to judge! No 1 can ever hurt you without your concern. what you guys wrote weakens my knees, keep writting peeps, I’d love to hear what else you have to say on the subject matter…
