What is love? What is the connection between love and fear?

Wow! did you ever ask an interesting question.\n\nI have heard it said and I happen to agree that love and fear share a somewhat alternative relationship. In other words, it is either love, or fear. In order to experience love, you must cast your fear. I am going to answer as though you are speaking of love between a man and a women of course i.e., two people. When you are afraid to express your feelings for someone it is because you fear negative consequences like humiliation of heartbreak. This is fear and doubt. When you feel love for someone else, then you know what it feels like to need to tell that person. When it feels wrong not to tell the person how you feel, then you are feeling love. When you simply must tell how you feel because you feel fear if you don't, then you know you are experiencing true feelings of love.\n\nSimply put, it's either love, or fear.

Sure we can all tell you what love is, but I can tell you right now you will not get one same answer. Love means different things to different people. So the meaning of love to me will not be the same as your feelings.

Love is all the states of mind put together into a complex state of bliss...in love one can feel every emotion intensified. Like states of mind which come and go, love does not easily come and easily go, it adheres to all tests of time and patience.

There are two kinds of love.\n\nOne that makes you feel safe and secure, in which you may\n\nhave to give up some of who you are to obtain. And one in\n\nwhich you recognize yourself in the other. This kind of love\n\nyou need to give up nothing, but will recieve safety and\n\nsecurity because you're in your natural state. Which is love.

It is because it is "safe" for you.  This is so common with people.  We are all afraid of love because we're afraid of rejection. We have learned that rejection is a reflection of us but it isn't.  People are gonna like you or they're not. Simple really.  So we as humans begin to feel attractions to things that are "safe" for us because we're not stable enough in our own confidence.  Swear it.  Sounds heavy but it is a psychological fact.  To overcome this, (besides therapy), you have to understand that love is not perfect because it is a person giving and receiving it and people aren't perfect.  Love will dissapoint at times and when it does, we feel that we will not be okay.  But we will.  We will be okay and it is safe to love a person once we define our boundaries and communicate them clearly to others.  So the cartoon enfatuation is really your subconscious saying that "I don't feel 100% safe and secure truly loving another human being cause I might get really hurt".  But it is okay to get hurt, and  you will be just fine.  :).   If you all think I'm silly, think about pedafiles and such.  This crime is a result of mostly men not every developing emotionally and therefore can only relate to intimacy through something that they can totally control.  Disturbing but this goes to show us all how many people lack proper develpment in the emotional and mental aspects of the brain, if you will.

Love is when you can't stop smiling when you think about your other or someone says their name. Love is when you go to sleep everynight with a smile on your face knowing you couldn't be happier. Love is perfect and nothing can come between true love. When you can get to the point where things that would usually bother you don't, and when you can be yourself and know you are loved no matter what.

This goes back to the age old question; what is love? well this is my definition: Usually people say that they love someone because the other person makes them laugh; makes them feel comfortable; makes them smile and laugh; makes them feel complete - i tend to say that's not love - that's a self centred feeling. Love to me is when you want to be with the other person beause you want to make HIM/OR HER happy, you want to make THEM feel comfortable, make THEM smile and laugh; make THEM feel complete. Love is more of giving then wanting something from someone. A simple love test: If you took the brains of someone you think you love and put it on another body, would you feel the same? If you would then that's love, because you care and want to GIVE to the person - regardless of looks... more of what's in the inside. So, are you in love? I hope so :)

read the passage in the bible: Love is...\nor watch the movie A Walk To Remember. one of my favourite movies and it gives love a whole new meaning. \n\nmy definition of love is thinking about them before you fall asleep or just being able to spend a whole night lying awake w/ them in your thoughts, smiling everytime you see them or get reminded of them, you want to protect them, take away their fears, cherish them, and be with them. \n\nmy dreams i've had about my crush occured pretty frequent but my favourite is the one where it's night and the moon is out. I'm standing there beside him and we're both looking at Niagra Falls together(we we'ren't in an embrace or anything. No one else was around. It was just me and him. the only thing crappy about that dream was i woke up before anything else happend. lol. aww. it was a pretty sweet dream that i would like to have com true. :)

It is a weird feeling. Love is such a powerful emotion that it can make you feel scared of losing it or convince you that your life depends on it. \n\nIf you've never felt it before, the only thing I can compare it to is the way a roller coaster feels - at one point, exciting and thrilling, but also scary and dangerous.

Love means that you like  he/she to go into your life. Love is something that you felt good to have it. And love can create peace, happy and ect. If you do not felt good to have love that means you yourself do not know how to love yourself and you are not ready to love others also. Love is something that you cannot touch but you can fell, you can not hold but you can give, you can not see but is already  in your heart. So follow what you felt and go ahead to love. Giving out LOVE is not neccesarry to have back.

Its love and Fear,  too love someone completely is too be without any fear of them.\n\nFear is stronger than hate,  you dont kill your neigbour because you hate them,  you kill them because you fear them. When we hate someone or something we normally discard it but when we fear we are obsessed by it, same when we love something.

Thinking has nothing to do with Love.  Thinking is what prevents Love.  Thinking is how humans end up with emotions like jealousy, envy, sadness,  grief or depression.  No one thinks themselves into Love.\nDo I feel one can really love?  Yep, been there, done that, got the T-shirt and wore it out (the T-shirt, not the love).\nTo what extent can it go?  There are no limits.  Love expands to fill as much as one allows.  Love inspires poems, stories, movies, relationships, the very fabric of society.  Love brings out the best, improves the worst and promotes tolerance and understanding.  Not just between two people, but humanity as a whole.  Lovers usually don’t have road rage, forget their biases and ignore the need for food, rest and often even sleep.\nAnd the strangest thing about love, is just when most give up and start to believe that Love will never touch them,  BLAM, that is when Love usually finds them.\nLove is the greatest mystery in a Universe of Unknowns and Unknowables.

Firstly you need to overcome your fears.  Try and find a common interest (if you know each other I am sure you have one) and talk about that.\n\nAnd as for knowing if it's really love... I don't think anyone ever does.  You need to just ride things out.  That's what I've always found.  Best way to learn.

Love to me means a feeling that is so strong that it can make even the most stubborn people appologize.  It makes your heart skip a beat when you think about that special person.  Its the feeling of not getting enough sleep at night because you are still smiling and on a high from being with that person.  Love is also being able to talk to that person for hours and never getting bored.  Knowing how the person feels about something and working to make the other persons life better.  Its putting all of their wants and needs infront of your own.  I know its cliche but if you are in love than you know it.  Because you want to be with that person every second of everyday not because of the physical but because of how you feel when your around him/her.  Its deffinitly emotional and its not that easy to tell the two apart.

Ok....you can't define love as one thing.  Love is something that you feel towards someone or something.  But please do not get love confused with lust.

love is when you cant live w/ out that person in your life. they are the last thing you think of before you fall asleep and they are the first thing you think of when you wake up, love makes your life enjoyable. it is fulfillment and happiness to your life. love brings light upon your life
