Love: Strength or Weakness?

[Tiffany]

Do you think love is a strength (because it can help you get thru things) or a weakness (because it can confuse you, make you do things you normally wouldn't do, or hurts so badly when it's over)?

[Lancet Jades]

I dunno, i think it can be both a strength AND a weakness. It can cloud your judgement and stuff, but it can also make you stronger.

Thats...about all i can answer. I dont really know, cuz i've never experienced love =/

[The Wang Master]

Define love and I can answer. Otherwise its more of a person to person evaluation. I've read Robotech, there are too many aspects of Love.

judging from your post Lagunasgirl it seems you are not fond of love. It's just one of those things in life, if you ask me for an example of love I will say this.

A man marries a woman with genital herpes, knowing full well she has herpes.

Love can be a strength at first, then it can go wrong. But if you pull through it, it's a strength, because you know better, and you have experianced it before. At least... I'd hope so.

[The Wang Master]

Love is how you use it, some use it to manipulate people. I prefer to use it as a reason to go do something.

[ChibiArisu]

I've never really been in love, so I really don't have any place to say. But I have learned that some people don't pull through when they're heartbroken. And sometimes they really don't have anything to look forward to. But still, you always have a reason to live. And a reason to love.

these days i just think love is sad even when your happy love is sad lol but its a strength..and i go with lancets post......and im spent

[Zelphiel]

It can be both. Very great and very stupid things can come from it.

[Chicken Little]

its a tool, an excuse, and a reason.

Some use it to force situations and people, to keep going or quit.
Others use it to define.

Either way it is both negative and positive

[Aoi Asahina]

Love... would say that it is a weakness.
Naive, weak, easily tempted...

[The Wang Master]

but you could also say that through it you learned and gained experience. *hugs Aoi* glad your back.

[Aoi Asahina]

You can also observe. I had to do something cause I'm bored.

[Chaos Theory]

it is both

[The Wang Master]

First hand experience is usually good. But it's what you take away from the experience usually determines that. Introspection owns.

weakness thats as in deph as im going

[Leknaat]

Love is a strange thing...it makes me feel weak but at the same time it helps me push through and do things that surprise even me. So I guess it's a double-edged sword.

[Wallie Wildo]

in the end its a weakness though

[Lancet Jades]

not always. It can sometimes be the ultimate strength, but as with any strength, it can be turned into a weakness...

[Wallie Wildo]

iv never saw anybody made happy when someone they loved died and thats enevitible no matter what also when they are in pain does anyone here see somebody going around screaming someone i love is dead its like i won the lottery i think not i see it only as a weakness and anyone who needs it as weak i could live without it because i know in the end it will only make me suffer but i cant just stop loving my grandparents but knowing that it will happen and being prepared takes away some of the pain i chose never to love after they die i just am too weak to handle the deaths of the people i love its just too much for me ive been through it many times and i have came up with a way to stop the pain and that is to not love i know that i sound cold and i am but its better to be cold then suffer

[Laggy]

i think it can be both...for me i mostly think its more of a weekness and some things in it are so overrated that i get tierd of it...i love to love lol but theres just alot to deal with when you do...lets say you love a girl that wouldnt love you, that hurts..thatsw somthing everyone at some point has to deal with, so love sucks, then when you love someone that loves you, and they let you down and do somthing that hurts you..that may be the worst thing of all,..most of you know the good things about love, so i wont name them...but that bad things are real bad, in some parts of it, love my be the worst thing anyone could have.

[Kaffee]

Love seems like a distraction to me, I've seen love fail so many times, both of my brothers are getting a divorce. I watch people who claim to be in love and see them make such puzzling decisions. And then I look at my parents, who have been in love for 35 years, they fight and agrue, but in the end are still together. I think love can be a grand thing to experience and in the same breath a crushing blow that feels worse than death. Love is still one of the things that eludes me, i stopped believeing in it but found myself miserable. Go figure.
