Since I haven't posted for a while,
I figured I should return to LJ
and say a few words...
I was thinking about english class
today (mostly because I have to start
writing those journal entries).
The main topic of the class is "love and
realtionships."
It's a pretty interesting class, however
no one ever knows what to say when we
are dicussing "love" in depth. I
think most of the people in the
class really don't truly understand
what love is. Everyone always
associates love with good feelings.
I, myself, never thought of love
as just good feelings, being that
I see a lot of relationships fail
due to that reasoning.
People need to open their eyes and
see what love really is and
accept the fact that it's not always
perfect.
I came across a book I read
a long time ago that was all
about what love is, how one
discusses it, and how one knows
when love is present in their lives.
I found this list to be very eye-opening,
if you care to read it:
IN DISCUSSING LOVE, IT WOULD BE WELL
TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING PREMISES:
1)one cannot give what one does not
possess, to give love one must possess
love
2)one cannot teach what one does not
understand, to teach love one must
comprehend love.
3)one canont know what one does not
study, to study love one must
live in love.
4)one cannot appreciate what one
does not recognize, to recognize
love one must be receptive to love.
5)one cannot doubt what one wishes to
trust, to trust love one must be
convinced of love
6)one cannot admit what one does not
yield to, to yield to love you
must be vunerable to love.
7)one cannot live what one does not
dedicate oneself to, to dedicate
oneself to love you must be
forever growing in love
