Ive got a wonder on my mind. For the monogamists out there, such as I, and you love everyone, what about marriage relationships? Ive always seen it as love and in love. Love is unconditional. In love is also unconditional, unless you realise you arent in love with that person, and you just love them.
I would do whatever possible to help someone. But thats considered something in modern society that people who are in love do for eachother. But I do that for everyone. So to me, being in love with someone is wanting to spend your life with that person, and face lifes challenges together. What are your views? I hope I didnt make it too confusing

Nah man, It's all good.
Love should be shared, be it with someone special, or just being a lving friend.

I think the exact same way, PL&S.
It's difficult though because many people don't, or just haven't thought about it like we have. Just be careful to not throw the word around casually trying to tell a friend that you love them, cause in my experience, some girls will take that as a proposal.

Haha, yeah, I told someone I loved her in front of my girlfriend, and my girlfriend had this crazy look on her face, but I explained it. Thanks for the feedback.

I totally agree with you here.
I think love can be a way of life. I think that is the beauty in religion. I think it is our destiny.
Love as raw experience can be a pooowerful thing, granted you accept all the pain that comes along with love.
I think that devoting yourself to someone is an agreement to share everything intimately. Absolutely you can love everything and still have a very special person.
Rockin' thread brother!

'On Marriage'
You were born together and together you shall be for evermore
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together in the silent memory of God
But let there be spaces between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of Love.
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each others cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance and be joyful but let each of you be alone
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts but not into each others keeping.
For only the hand of life can contain your hearts.
And stand together but not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the Oak and the Cypress tree grow not in each others shadow.
( from THE PROPHET by Kahlil Gibrain, a Lebanese Christian prophet)

Nice one Ankaret!
I believe there is a difference between marriage and love, much in the same way as the difference between spirituality and religion. Also, bear in mind that love is easy to get into, but hard to get out of. A commitment can be a beautiful thing, but it's hard for free spirits sometimes.
Ancient peoples differentiated between several types of love, and modern people still do today: familial love, infatuation, platonic love (between friends), etc. Not everyone is as adept at distinguishing between these subtle variations as us hippie types are.
Love is a positive emotion, allowing for much expansion and growth. However, it can also give rise to destructive emotions like jealousy.
Love is power. It can be used for good or for harm.

My personal views are that there are varrying degrees of love, whether it be a friend or family. but to be in love means that you want to be with that person and that you have a desire to be in personal contact with them.

Love all around, I rekon. But help... I could use... I've loved (for real) someone for going on 2 years now, ever since I met them, but I'm a shy one and not nearly that awesome. The person is waaay outa my league. Which is ... slightly problematic? no, it's REALLY SUCKY. REALLY. I guess there isn't much I can do, anyway. I mean, love is an awesome emotion, but sometimes it can really suck... crying
