It is a feeling that has to exist for the fact that people have felt something strong enough to give it a name.
Of course I do:L That's like asking if I believe in anger or happiness. Love is real, but the word gets thrown about too much by people who aren't in love. It's lost it's meaning a bit.
I'm talking about love between two people in a relationship. Not love between a parent and their offspring.
There are many! In fact, many languages have multiple words for love... there is love for, say, a partner/significant other, love for your parents, love for your brother, even love for books or love for food. And it's all different.
For example, in Greek, there is "agape," or unconditional love; or there is "eros" for passionate love or desire; or there is "philia" for freindly love.
Do I believe that love exists? Yes. Do I think that I will ever find it? I'm honestly not sure sometimes, but I think I am mostly positive about it though.
Anyone who has genuinely been in love, believes in it, most people who have not been in love don't.
Those who voted no are not thinking for themselves but giving in to the brainwashing effect of consumerist propaganda.
hmmm. I'd say no, but only because i've not experienced it. Who's to say people who say they're in love are experiencing the same feelings as others? If it does exist, I don't think it's universally describable.
Love is relative like all emotions so no. A man can love a forest or he can love the meadow. He can love murderers or those who punish them.
It has its place like all things but to somehow use an inane emotion as your guide through life is destructive.
No but I believe someday someone will come into my life and show me what it is. I dont think I've fallen in love but I know there's someone whose happiness is essential to my own. but she's a girl and I think its a best friend kind of thing, not love hopefully not love. *crossing fingers*
I believe in love but for people who go out there and look for it it ajnt gonna fall on ur lap and say opps!
I believe in a thing called love! Just listen to the rhythm of my heart!
I honestly believe that its 100% simply a need for sex and companionship. Not love. Spot the scientist!
I'm referring entirely to romantic love. There's a familial bond, of course, but romantic love is something that I just don't buy into.
Love is love. It exists.
And how would you explain why couples stay together for long periods of time? If people didn't love eachother, they wouldn't stay together, go to such lengths for each other, or put up with each other....they could just hop from person to person if they just needed sex and companionship. Staying with one person for years shows more than just a need for sex and companionship. You can even buy sex and companionship, no love needed there. Or what about people who stay together but aren't really companions, or aren't sex partners? My parents are like that, they're not really tight companions in that they are hardly ever together and don't really like to be, and they don't have sex (mom has medical issues), yet it's clear they love eachother. They'd still do anyhting for eachother. They're still together.
i think the word love is slightly over rated..because if it was not then less divorces would be taking place...
