Analogically defined true Love

apola_anamisha · 21st November 2003, 04:57

A friend has just sent it to me.I'm not sure that you guys have already read it or not .............but it seems superb to me.

Quote:

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.
Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming
pool, she filled the palm of her hand with a little
water and held it before me, and said this: "You see
this water carefully contained on my hand? It
symbolizes Love."

This was how I saw it: "As long as you keep your hand
caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will
always be there. However, if you attempt to close your
fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill
through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they
meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they
expect... and just like the water spilling out of your
hand, Love will retrieve from you. For love is meant
to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are
people you love, allow them to be free beings. Give
and don't expect. Advise, but don't order. Ask, but
never demand. It might sound simple, but it is a
lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It
is the secret to true love.

To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no
expectations from those who you love, and yet an
unconditional caring."

Passing thought...
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take
but by the moments that take our breath away.

Dont know whether the above is right, a few replies regarding agree and disagree might clear the confusion.

Excellent thought

i agree with shyshy, that quote is most radical

iomegajaz · 21st November 2003, 05:25

"Radical", how TMNT. I like it. =D

As for the quote, I can look past the gquestionable English and appreciate the mushy sentiments within it. Nice. =)

dasdax: you do not believe that there is someone out there willing to go through life with you and all the turmoils that go along with it? would you not do the same to someone else?

apola_anamisha · 21st November 2003, 06:36

I'm not sure where my friend get that(though he claims he wrote it.........he he which is no way possible)but the lines are great.........I agree.
But anyways do you all agree with it......I mean the subject......I thought someone will say no and will show me some reasons which I can tell to him.

Bazman63 · 21st November 2003, 07:00

Tell him YOU wrote thi; If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it's yours. If not, if never was.

*sighs* We tried to tell Apola nicely that her constant posting about boy bands was annoying. We'd like to see her contribute something else other than that which for the most part, all of us detest. But, she CHOOSES to continue with it.

I think you'll forgive me now shyshy........I really like you ......you are so helpful.
I didn't say anything 'bout ***-bands till now.........

Raz · 21st November 2003, 13:14

That quote seems quite good, but the rest is pure, uncut, untampered CHEESE.

Don't worry, there's many more of us callous, desensitized freaks around here.

I was gonna orginally make this a seperate thread, but I changed my mind (sorry for any semi-derailing):

Hmm, I've only had one girlfriend so far in my life (I'm 15), and I've had her since septemeber. She's already had two other boyfriends in the past year (she's 14), but she seems to love me just as much as I love her, which is a hellalot (we hug and talk all the time at school, and when no one's around: we kiss

). But do you think I stand a chance, considering that I've never had a girlfriend in my lifetime?

Not true at all. At all. Unconditional (i.e. true) love is a very real thing, it is only a question of if you are lucky enough to experience it.

/edit
Scyth you do definitely stand a chance, it isn't about experience, it's about what happens right here and now.
See experience defined is a rigid example of something we've been through. While sometimes helpful, it can't always be stretched to meet the specific needs of a new situation or handling a new thing. Thusly, experience isn't really needed, as long as you put your true self forward, and give it your all.
You stand a chance, go for the long run, you can make it. ^_^

The use of metaphors to describe an emotion and it's boundaries is quite interesting.

i don't have no parents

White Raven · 22nd November 2003, 21:28

LONG RUN AS IN THE REST OF YOUR LIFE... Jeez... It's an expression... and I meant that he should go for it, try to make a good relationship that will last 'for the long run.'
Sheeshers.

Daxie · 24th November 2003, 02:06

thanx i'll look forward to that i guess

White Raven · 24th November 2003, 03:01

/me commences feeling like an ass.

Fickle · 24th November 2003, 03:24

pfffft. True love has yet to find it's way to my door. Maybe wet lusting and crushed dreams are True Love, but I certainly hope not.

Wet lusting is better than true love i think

hgnis · 24th November 2003, 03:37

Does not make for clean sheets does it?
Why have wet lust when you can have wet reality?

To my surprise, my True Love accused me of not being True to Her
Because a Friend told Her it was so.
The day She thought I was not being True
Is the same day I bought the ring.
My True Love cursed my name, struck me,
And threw me out of Her life.
I proved to Her that I was True
By showing Her when I bought the ring,
And that I was True after all.
Once I was sure that She knew I had been True,
That a Friend was not a real Friend after all,
And once Her tears began to flow,
I left my True Love behind forever.
And now, after so many calls and unopened letters
I refuse to ever let my True Love
Into my Heart again
Until She feels the same amount of Pain I have felt.
Hence I would see my True Love again
Only after forever has passed.
My Love for Her is without condition and without end.
This is the endless cause of my Pain.
It is why She will never feel just as much Pain
And why I will never again know my True Love.

is that a poem???

Nope. Just a story.

It's giving me a headache to look at it. Maybe it's better just to nuke it...

White Raven · 24th November 2003, 15:33

*Bows* I too have felt pain, but yours shalt ever be greater.

There once was a man
That I fell in love with
Oh, I was a child...
He deceiveth me,
And left me unsure
And left me to bleed when he should have been there
He made empty promises
He had given me his word
And now he shalt die
In service of the army
And forever I shalt feel pain
For what might have been...

But hey, I have a better man now, and yeah. ^_^ No need wasting more time on the past when all it does is cause you to bleed.
I think the secret to finding true love, is not to look.

I see love like a couple others here: basically complete BS. I don't there is such a thing as true love anymore. I used to think otherwise but the past several years have really changed my views on relationships, love and loyalty.
