Veronique Mukamire Professor Michael Mazzolini English 101.02 April 25, 2005 Love According to the definition love is an emotion explored in philosophy, religion and literature, often as either romantic love, the fraternal love of others, or the love of God based on the definition found in The Encarta Encyclopedia. The definitions of love are the same and yet different. Godly, for instance is the love of God, and your devotion and respect toward him, the creator. In all religion, god carries the same aspect. Fraternal love is the love of ones family and relatives, even the love of one who is close to you, in that respect, such as a friend. Then theres romantic love; a love between two people, which I consider to be both intimate and sexual.
Older dictionaries and encyclopedias usually refer to the romantic aspect of love, as the love in which is experience between man and woman. In todays society it is said that romantic love can be found regardless of your gender and based on that definition I would have to agree, but personally disagree for the simply reason that we were physically made to adapt with the other gender sexually. Feeling romantic love for the same sex would defeats the purpose of our existents, which is procreation. Thus making love for the same sex unjust. Love has been expressed since the beginning of time; since Adam and Eve. Each culture expresses its love in its own special way. Though out history, though, its aspect has always been the same.

Love has been a major characteristic of literature also. One of the most famous works in literary history is Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. This story deals with the love of a man and a woman whos families have been sworn enemies. There love surpassed the hatred in which the families endured for generations. In the end they both ended up killing their selves, for one could not live without the other. This story is a perfect example of true love.
true love is the true feeling of romantic love and is a love that should last an eternity. It is often referred to as true love because what is considered to be love is often faulty and corrupt, not even true love at all! Love can easily be mistaken for a simple crush or strong liking of someone. The unfortunate thing is; most people cant tell the difference between true love and corrupt love; the end result may be a broken heart. The term broken heart is used when something has jeopardized the romantic love between two people and the end result is the termination of, what is called, a relationship. Basically hurting the person or persons emotionally involved in this so-called relationship. The term relationship has different definitions, but the one I am referring to is the relationship between to people, an intimate relationship. It is said that when two people fall in love with each other they are to take it to a higher level, a more intimate level, which is called a relationship.
A relationship is basically a compatibility test to see if the two who are in the relationship are truly in love and can handle the duress in which they bring upon each other. This is where the turning point of the relationship begins. Should they decide to spend the rest of their lives with each other, they will get married. Marriage is basically a contract between two people creating a mutual dependence of one another in a lifetime of commitment. This lifetime contract is a way of justifying the true love between couples, a love that should last a lifetime. Marriage is basically a custom throughout different cultures. Most marriages are based on the sole purpose of creating a family; a whole familys basis is on love.
The Essay on Romeo And Juliet Love Juliets True
I consider myself a hopeless romantic. I have hopes and dreams of finding my true love. Although I would like for my true love to say he would die for me and would never want to live without me, and me the same for him, I know realistically that this would never be. There is no better example of this love than in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. In this tale, their love was true and they ...
You cant have a family if you dont have the love that supports the family. It starts as the love of two individuals, and then progresses to the love of a family. The love between parent and child is far more different than the love between husband and wife. That is where the difference in the meaning of love comes in. Romantic love is the love between husband and wife and fraternal love is the love between parent and child. And if youre a religious family you have the love of your God. All in which are very different; and yet pretty much the same! Some marriages dont last, unfortunately and the end result is a divorce.
A divorce is basically the termination of a marriage. Most divorces occur due to corrupted love. If it is true love itll last a lifetime. Nothing can break the love between two people if its true love. If it were possible to break this eternal bond it would have to have been a relationship based on corrupted love. True love is very rare in my opinion and if it exists it will last a lifetime, regardless.
If not, that relationship is corrupt. Corrupted relationships are relationships that are falsified by ones wrong intentions in a relationship. These intentions tend to throw the other companion into a belief that their partner loves them when in fact they dont thus causing heartbreak. Most of these intentions are sexual and physical. Any relationship based strictly on sexual and physical attraction will fail. True love is primarily emotional.
These sexual tendencies are what cause a corrupt relationship. After researching the meaning behind love I have come to realize the importance it has on humanity. Without love, our race could not exist. It is the love for one another that keeps us going; unlike any species on earth we are the only ones that have this emotion and it is what makes us who we are. Without love, we are all lost..
