I Love You

Maybe more potent, but I wouldn't say necessarily the "truest".

What would be the truest love in your opinion?

[Tiay]

My opinion on love is similar to lumberjack's. Two years (tops), and then you move into something more lasting (or you don't). Initially, it's all about chemistry, and then it is all about tolerance.

I wonder if this holds for long distance relationships; 2 years in total.. but only a few weeks of actually being together. Makes for an odd feeling of time.

Except for your children. I believe that is the truest kind of love.

That makes sense, seeing as they are your genes. Interestingly, there was a study where people were asked to dunk their heads in water and hold their breath for as long as they could for another person, and they managed to do it longer the closer the relation was.

I'd say there is no "truest".

Love is love is love.

There are different types amongst different people dependent upon certain situations.

It is quite possible to lose love for your children, or siblings, or parents for that matter.

I agree with that, Fras. Familial ties can be broken. I would throw my parents off a cliff to save my boyfriend. Does that make me evil? You wouldn't necessarily think so if you knew my parents.

That is intriguing. I don't suppose you can remember at all where you saw that? I'd like to read about it, but I don't care enough to actually search for it.

it was in a BBC documentary a while back

This stuff is so confusing. I find myself easily depressed about the whole concept of love. Distinguishing between love and lust. I think I have a good understanding of what Love is but iono. You get in trouble when you think you know something when in reality you always end up suprised.

I think I know what Love is now, but I bet in even 5 years im going to be think I was naive right now.

All I really know is that I love hard, I would have given my life for any of my girlfriends. I know that sounds terrible, but I truly think I would have. If the situation would have arisen of course.

I think after the sparks fade and the passion dies down, you really need someone whom you can be around naturally. You prolly need them to have alot of the same interest to keep that closeness. You dont want them to be completely different than you when it loses its sparks. Companionship.

Just some thoughts.
