The greatest gift in life is not really a gift but a priviledge. The priviledge given to all of us to love that one special person and to dedicate our entire lives to them.

Loving someone isn't really a priviledge , its more of a choice. I mean we can love anyone we want, but just because we love someone doesn't necessarily mean that person loves us back. The priviledge or gift is having someone who you love, love you as well. And thats what is hard to get a hold, to find that right person...

That is my philosophy. Love is a choice indeed however, it is simple in the fact that it is also a priviledge. We could live through life without anyone or anything. But, as mercy and grace would have it we do not have to. We as people are given this priviledge so that we do not have to live this dismal life alone. That is simply my philosophy and sometimes people differ in opinion. And as for being more profound this is my word. That is enough..................

it's profound enough as is, but I really don't know if loving is a privilege and not a curse...yeh it's all well and good if someone loves you back...but over time love can stumble and hurt is inevitable...i mean seriously..people view love as this great big thing...but the only way to make a relationship work now a days is to WORK at it, find common ground and just try and keep interest flowing in the relationship....anyway, that's my opinion...love is really just an emotion someone puts to something they really want to have

I guess the reason why we have numerous ideas on this is that we have different concepts of love.
I respect your philosophy.

Thank you Amanda, I appreciate your comments. Your young age proves nothing in this case. You speak as a grown woman who has had a heart ache or two. Thanks again, His Majesty

Love is most definitely a gift given from God Himself to humans to share with one another. It's the most powerful of all. However, in life, love can seem more like a curse at times. During heartache, love seems like a deadly disease eating away at your very being. At the same time, when you are madly in love with someone, and the feeling is mutual, love seems to be the greatest thing you could ever imagine. Loving someone with your whole heart and soul is a scary thing, but with both good and bad involved, I honestly believe that it's worth it. Being in love with another person, during the good times, it makes life worthwhile. When you have no one, and you are unloved and unloving, life seems to be purposeless. So yes, it is a gift and a priveledge at the same time. You can't choose to fall in love with anyone, it's a priveledge granted to you. That's my philosophy on this.

I agree a lot with John. Love is scary, and at times can be hurtful, but when 'madly in love' you feel as if you are living in a utopia. Love is a huge risk, but taking big risks can often leave you with big rewards. Love, i believe in a sense, isn't so much a gift because love is just not given to you. Yes when you do fall in love, you cannot control that, but it's not like we are handed our soul mate. We may have to search for that person or that person could be right in front of our face. Love is more of a priviledge, a priviledge that each individual has a chance at... well i've spoken most of my mind, i'll stop before i get too far ahead of myself.  |

"Love" is nothing more than a few chemical reactions in the brain. We have taken those reactions and feelings and worship them in everyday life. Like happiness it is all a choice, you choose to be an alcholic, you choose to love the husband that beats you, and you choose to take your own life when you can't handle reality. Nothing you are born with, all things are desired on some level of the human psyche.

ok, i know i just took a liberty i probably have no right to take, but i believe it is a shame when a moderator can take it upon him or herself to judge others based on NOTHING...RICHIE...i'm sorry but that was uncalled for, and i'm saying it out in the open...i apologize to Kemleth, i thought the mods here had better taste...and although i'm probably in someway preaching to the choir i have no idea where you got the idea he doesn't believe in life...and to be so underhanded like that...I"M insulted...
