What is love? Well, I can't exactly tell you what love truly is but I can let you into my mad world and the love within. As I see it there are three main kinds of love: the kind that we have for a material item like our car or a favorite blanket when young, second is the kind of love that we have for family, Close friends and pets, and finally the love that makes us go mad, the romantic love we have for a person outside of our family. Those, to me, are the three kinds of love found in the world, there are a couple sub sects of love within those listed but I rather not bore you with a thesis.
To begin, we start with the love for the material. Many may say that don't have this, I personally doubt it, we have all felt it at one time or another, whether it be your car or your favorite stuffed animal when you were a child. It is an odd attachment to something not living that usually gives us a sense of security or pride. The love for an inanimate is one that the depth is often not recognized until the object is gone, it is usually a love that has been lost to know its true significance.
The second, the love of family, friends, and pets, it is an unconditional love that arises from the providing of company and support provided by a living thing. This is most likely the longest lasting love that we will have in our live. Family doesn't usually fade away and truly close friends don't either, they last a life time and give an unmeasurable amount of support, security, and happiness to us through out our lives. This form of love often lasts until death and it is only with death that this love comes to an end, and that is only for the departing party, for the other left alive their love will continue until them meet their end.
The final, romantic love, often the most trivial and brutal of the loves. Hopefully it isn't the shortest love in ones life, but for some it may be. It is the most intense and the most painful, with the extreme joy often comes deep sorrow. But, we'll stay positive and look at the up side, there is almost no end to the joy that can come from this type of love. With that I must let you take what I have said and you can do what you wish with that information. Those are my views on love, and maybe I'm mad, or on point, that is up to you.
That's interesting how you think people can love material objects but I'm not sure that I agree even with kids and their stuffed animals I don't think that they truly love there stuffed animal or something like that. But I do agree with you that with romantic love even with the deep joy that comes from it, it can cause extreme sorrow like you said and some people look back on that love their whole lives of what could have been. It's also interesting that you said that love between friends is the longest lasting and gives us security and happiness throughout our lives because alot of friendships end maybe after high school or sometimes college but I agree true friendship could last your whole life.
