Somethin’ like this.

A choice between two individuals to devote themselves to one another.

The minute one stops choosing to love the other, love is over, regardless of what the other desires or feels. Many people mistake love for a feeling, misinterpreting passion for love. Thus when passion cools, unless you have wound up with your best friend, someone you could spend the rest of your life with happily, sharing in interests, hobbies, and aspirations, you will be miserable.

I don’t think that’s love; perhaps that’s infatuation. Love, imo, is the same regardless of whether it’s between family members or not. If it’s different, it’s not love.

Far from it. Infatuation is a compulsory experience. I said love is a choice, one made completely sober.

You choose to love someone else. Each day, you make that choice. Regardless of infatuation, passion, attraction, etc… you choose to love the other. Sometimes it means compromise, doing what you don’t like so your partner can be happy, and vice versa.

Its when you chose to stop making that commitment that love is over.

It’s WoW General Discussion. So let’s have a WoW General Discussion.

ight im here talking about general stuff in the general forums. please be general.

I disagree with this premise; as I don’t think the love between a mother and child for example is a choice, made completely sober, and I don’t think there is any other type of love.

Hmm. Well, I think while you may choose to make effort to nourish the relationship, I don’t feel that love is something that stops. If you stop making an effort to nourish a relationship, and later find that there are no feelings of “love” towards each other, I also don’t feel that that is or was love, but perhaps infatuation or something similar.

I think a more apt forum designation should be “generic discussion” but I digress

*Eros: erotic, passionate love. We might as well get that one out of the way first.
*Philia: love of friends and equals.
*Storge: love of parents for children.
*Agape: love of mankind

You’ve never heard or read stories of abusive mothers, have you? Love is a choice. Even a mother’s love for their child is a choice, albeit an easy one for some, and a difficult one for others.

Well, that opens a can of worms that I don’t think is worth discussion in this thread.

Suffice it to say that the points I’ve made stand as does my opinion. It’s fine that we don’t share the same opinion. :slight_smile:

That’s perfectly fine. We agree to disagree.
