as a result, not everyone is willing to share what they think of love. especially with someone they fear might judge them for that definition.
I have never judged anyone in my entire posting history, except by mistake once.
I have opinions, but I do not judge.
But I feel you have judged me in thinking that. It doesn't seem to matter what I write or say now, you will just somehow give a provoked response, and that sucks. I think that is what prejudice is based on. In other words, you have made up in your mind that we would never be able to get along.
My definition of love is seeing people that way God sees them. When I look at people, I try to look past all that may have happened in their lives, and see them as a child.
I look at people spiritually, and it helps me to see past any indeffierences we might have.
When I look at your pictures, and read your words, I see awesome stuff, and I get a great picture of just who you might be. A wonderfully smart person with many talents, and a zest for life. I love the artist in you. I ignore the fact that you may be going against me, for good reasons or bad, and see that child in you, and that is what makes me love you.
I feel that is God's love, and I think I have felt that from God. That made me understand love a little better, unconditional love, and I think God wants me to love people in that way.
That is how I love people outside of my wife, kids and, family.
Enjoy.
perhaps this question is what keeps people from responding to your thread.
Because with all the "logical" minds here, they will try to rationalize love, and how it evolved. Or maybe, when people think about it, there just is no rational answer to it. Maybe you just can't put it into words. Yes, I've heard of love being described as a survival instinct. I don't buy into that one fully. It doesn't work logically.
