  • The Phony: Love


    Is love a fancy or a feeling?

    Have fiction invented love? Is there really a feeling as breath taking as the one we read about, or see in movies? Or is love something we think we feel, because the books say it exists? I have many questions. They can't fit in my head anymore. I just want to blur them out on the pages, but the words don't seem to be enough today either. What's wrong with them? Why do they oppose me? They are supposed to help me now. But they won't.

    I refuse love. I'm shutting it out! I won't let it bother me anymore. If it dares to defy me, I will defy it back. No more words of passion shall affect me. They are just words. The same words that oppose me.

    If only it were that easy. I suppose it can be with enough conviction :)

    @MidnightChyld - Haha xD I'm trying really hard to convince myself right now! Thanks for the comment <3

    You do have to wonder tho if love really exists? I mean, i know it does. But when you haven't been in it yourself? It seems like a fisaud.
    btw way I could not find fisaud anywhere even on my spell check, I'll just assume you know what word i mean lol.

    Love is fictional...a feeling we think we feel.  When really it is just a synonym for stuff we really like.

  • NoHeroJustNerd

    @MidnightChyld - Exactly. I wonder if it's real. I have never felt anything like it.
    I think the word your looking for is facade? :) I understand what you mean though. ^^

    @NoHeroJustNerd - Yea thanks I had no idea how that was spelled. I'd say it only exists (in romantic form) when it is reciprocated.

    I get what you're saying. Like no-one knew of love until the media [persay] exposed it. Great entry, as for the words to describe what has come to mind...they will come, they always do, even if it takes longer than you wish for.

    Hilariously, I met my husband within three months of saying exactly what you just wrote.  Strange, isn't it?  Life is quite the experience.

    Let us look at love, as on dictionary.com:

    <table class="luna-Ent"><tbody><tr><td class="dnindex">1. <td>a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. <table class="luna-Ent"> <tbody><tr> <td class="dnindex">2. <td>a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend. <table class="luna-Ent"> <tbody><tr> <td class="dnindex">3. <td>sexual passion or desire. <table class="luna-Ent"> <tbody><tr> <td class="dnindex">4. <td>a person toward whom love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart. <table class="luna-Ent"> <tbody><tr> <td class="dnindex">5. <td>(used in direct address as a term of endearment, affection, or the like): Would you like to see a movie, love? <table class="luna-Ent"> <tbody><tr> <td class="dnindex">6. <td>a love affair; an intensely amorous incident; amour. <table class="luna-Ent"> <tbody><tr> <td class="dnindex">7. <td>sexual intercourse; copulation. <table class="luna-Ent"> <tbody><tr> <td class="dnindex">8. <td>(initial capital letter) a personification of sexual affection, as Eros or Cupid. <table class="luna-Ent"> <tbody><tr> <td class="dnindex">9. <td>affectionate concern for the well-being of others: the love of one's neighbor. <table class="luna-Ent"> <tbody><tr> <td class="dnindex">10. <td>strong predilection, enthusiasm, or liking for anything: her love of books. <table class="luna-Ent"> <tbody><tr> <td class="dnindex">11. <td>the object or thing so liked: The theater was her great love. <table class="luna-Ent"> <tbody><tr> <td class="dnindex">12. <td>the benevolent affection of God for His creatures, or the reverent affection due from them to God. <table class="luna-Ent"> <tbody><tr> <td class="dnindex">13. <td>Chiefly Tennis. a score of zero; nothing. <table class="luna-Ent"><tbody><tr><td class="dnindex">14. <td>a word formerly used in communications to represent the letter L.

    Certainly affection is not invented, as it is what most mothers feel for their young.  And what about that warm feeling you get when you hug someone?  Perhaps I should ask what sort of love you refer to?  Romantic love?  I believe it exists, separate even from fiction.  It exists for me.  Maybe it depends on the individual and on their life in that moment.  I never thought that it existed, or that I would experience it and yet here I am. 

    I hope I was not an intrusion.  If so, please delete my comment as I won't mind.

    Ha! So you're going to examine, analyse, discover classify, define.... love. You and a thousand writers before you. Love, a strange liquid, or is it many things? Of course the words won't help you, they're not meant to. You are there to help them. But don't let them bully you; kick the bastards about, and make 'em do your will.

  • NoHeroJustNerd

    @marissa_and_her_darkness - Thank you for your comment. Your words are wise.
    @darkoozeripple - No I do not intend to dissect love, just whine about it. xD I'll kick the little bastard words butts!! They need it.
    @zenzen6 - I hope something like that will happen to me too. Or do I? I don't know... :/
