I see love as a philosophy in movies in books all the time. I'm just wondering what you guys have to think about the whole "we live our lives to love" thing. And any other matters dealing with this topic.
As for my opinion, I think that love is a chemical reaction that takes place in teh brain that makes you desire a person that would help the( I'm not sure what its called, the thing where we mate with the best, so only the best survive) the human race become better or w/e.

Ah, so the "so called romantics" are retards? By what you are saying they are speanding their lives working at a dream? But this makes me think the the "love philosophy(sp)" is almost on the same basis as "trying to make the world a perfect place" idea. They are both almost impossible, but why do people commend them so for trying to do these things? I think that a person living an honest life is better than one who is on a "romantic quest".

Just because a final goal is not absolutely attainable is not an excuse not to strive for it. The moral people, those who try to make the world into (what they deem to be) a better place, or those who seek true love, are not all after some hopeless goal. Some say that it is the journey that matters far more from the goal. In the journey we learn, once we reach the goal, there is little to learn by comparisson. And, who is to say these goals are 'almost impossible?' I do not think it is that the goals are hard to attain, I think it is more likely because humans are terribly selfish and greedy creatuers in terms of these sorts of things. Once we have made a goal, we raise the bar, and keep raising the bar, never ever satisfied with what we've got. Finding true love is easy. Making the world a better place is easy. All you have to do is be satisfied with your efforts and stop wanting more all the time. Or rather, stop wanting more in a fashion that leaves you depressive and melancholy about your current state, as raising the bar is always something we should do for ourselves.

Even if some were to believe that "true love" was an impossible goal, there would still be people thriving on the idea of possibly reaching it someday. The idea gives people something to believe in and hope for. Not all of our goals are always attainable, but we try for them and in the end if we reach the goal or not doesn't matter very much because along the way we've had our bouts with the good and the bad and we're often a much better person because of it. In the case of finding a true love it just takes another person who's looking for who you are and similar things as to what you're looking for on your own journey.
If every dream was attainable then not many Americans, or people in general, would be working towards life - having jobs, building a family, making money. That's just part of the "American Dream" that most people are working for with their lives.

In the case of finding a true love it just takes another person who's looking for who you are and similar things as to what you're looking for on your own journey. Indeed, the untainable often has the power to keep us going. Although, I can't say I'm against hoping that a dream like "true love" can really come true. (For certain, it would be lovely.) But either way, nowadays, the quest for lust rather than love dominates the public, which is sad. But if that is so, would it become easier or harder for the select few still striving to find their true loves to actually find them (supposing the event is possible)? Having sidesteped the actual topic, I leave you with this. While true love seems an unlikely possibility, it's not totally out of reach. (One can dare to dream, no?) While the desire for lust should eventually consume us all, there are still a select few who will continue to search for love. PS- I think that it will be a low day that the only driving force between relationships is the hope of deriving a chemical reaction in the brain which happens inevitably so it does not need to be strived for.

ImNotaFashionStatment we live our lives to love This may be more along the lines of spirituality than philosophy, but I suppose it is my philosophy for life. I see love as the invisible plasmatic energy that flows between all living things. Love is the force that makes people & things grow and minds expand. It is limitless. I think that love exists in one's ideas more so than a feeling that one experiences. The idea of two people *caring* about one another to such a great extent makes me feel the plasma swirling in my brain and radiating throughout my entire being. heart Love exists in our perception of reality. It is what allows everday things to be interpreted in great ways by one's concious.

I believe to an extent we live our lives to love but for the most part I believe we live our lives to live. To have experiences, from love to death and everything in between and then hope to make an impression upon someone else so they may live their life to live just as we did.

Personally, "love" is something that we try and live without and then soon regret. It's inevitable just like someone taking a breath of air. To me, love is something that no one really knows until they really have been in true love, (not what teenagers or even some adults feel is love). I also think that "True Love" is truely impossible to reach. It's a goal of everyone to find their one "True love" but in reality most of those people end up changing themselves or what they want and they don't see their "true lovers" as that at all anymore.

Perfection and true love and indeed are unattainable ideals.
Sucess will never be yours
But never to strive is the only true failure.

I do agree with you that love is inevitable. It really sneaks up on you. But I disagree on your idea of True Love. True Love exists in many forms. Many people make the mistake of assuming that there is only one... But it exists depending upon different situations. There is True Love between a brother and a sister that get along like best friends. It is found in friendship and between a teacher and a student that appreciates schooling. I don't think that there is any one right person, but that you come upon people in your life that are right for you for that period of time. We are all always changing. How can there be one right person that will take care of all of that? I suppose that is why they say marraige is tough. You need someone that will embrace your changes and you need to be able to embrace theirs. It sounds to me more like the unconditional love found in some good friendships, but with added benefits.

True love may exist in many forms but "true love" never is what people expect it to be or come in the package they were hoping. So in a matter of sense, true love in the ideals of the person really doesn't exist based on how they imagine it.

Love is sexual atraction to somebody. I know most people think it is something deeper, but hey. Would nature make love painful, so we wouldn't have sex?
Love has to be pleasant for everybody, both for people that need something "higher" and for people, that are happy with sex.
Love is just a boundage of 2 people. It has its pourpouse. If parents wouldn't love each other, they would not be good parents.
If parents wouldn't love their child, they wouldn't be good parents.
Nature just wants us to have sex ,and make babies, but we needed an illusion
to make love something more, so we created "romantic".

To extend on this: There are many cases in which there have been two people who did not share a "romantic" love at the beginning of their relationships, went on to have children, and eventually have gown to love each other in more than just the sexual way.
