These three different types of love will be experienced by everyone at some point in their life. And even though it seems to be a negative thing. It helps grow character, even when the love ends in a tragic way. It is an unfortunate pattern of life, that we all can't meet the true, pure, absolute love right off the bat. But we all need to make a few mistakes in order to find perfection.

Defining Love
Even though 'love' is really just a bunch of chemicals in our brains responding to evolutionary laws, it really is a quizzical and wondrous thing. The true, pure, absolute love is the thing fairytales are made of and very rarely occurs in real life. It is the love that is unconditional and does more than disregard and ignore flaws in the other person, they love the flaws. Then there is the comfortable love. The love between friends and family, where you acknowledge each others faults and mistakes, but still end up forgiving them anyways. The third one is the most confusing one, it is the love where you think it is meaningful and eternal, but it ends. Usually it is confused for something else, like friendship or lust or desperation. This is the 'love' where it is only felt on one side, or it is not an honest relationship.

I liked your thoughts on the different types of love. I spoke of similar ones in my post. I also like the ending statement that says "even though it seems to be a negative thing, it helps grow character, even when the love ends in a tragic way." I think that was a good point and completely agree. Even these dramatic highschool relationships that abruptly and tragically end have their purposes, and they are generally to give us experience and strengthen us as human beings.
ReplyDeleteI like how you said that even though it's just a bunch of chemicals, it's a "quizzical" thing still. No matter if love is real or not, the feelings it creates, and the impact it has on us, will always greatly affect our lives. I agree 100% that true love is when each person acknowledges the others faults, but loves them for their faults anyway. And it is sad, this is very rare in contemporary relationships. The third type of love reminds me of middle school, haha. It's when everyone's love was pretty much one sided.
