wanna know what love is?

Hi guys!so i am a bit into reading lately..and i just wanna share this part of a piece written by Buscaglia. 

 

Tell me what you think about it.*winks*

 

 

 

Most of us never learn to love at all. We play at love, imitate lovers, treat love as a game. Is it any wonder so many of us are dying of loneliness, feel anxious and unfulfilled, even in seemingly close relationships, and are always looking elsewhere for something more which we feel must certainly be there? “Is that all there is?” the song asks.

 

There is something else. It’s simply this — the limitless potential of love within each person eager to be recognized, waiting to be developed, learning to grow.

 

It’s never too late to learn anything for which you have a potential. If you want to learn to love, then you must start the process of finding out what it is, what qualities make up a loving person and how these are developed. Each person has the potential for love. But potential is never realized without work. This does not mean pain. Love, especially, is learned best in wonder, in joy, in peace, in living.

 

Love is an emotion, that is true. But it is also a “response” to an emotion and, therefore, an “active” expression of what is felt. Love is not learned by osmosis. It is actually acted out and acted upon.

I honestly think that media is ty at portraying love, when all they do is just put in romance , because I know that the love portrayed in media wouldn't make up a satisfying and fulfilling relationship. I wouldn't say they are wrong, but that wouldn't be called love, or is it love in a different form? Should I say that there are many different types of love hence I wouldn't like the use of true love because they may come in different forms but aren't they still love?

But I think something more important would be to communicate to your partner about the conflicts and if we can't communicate to our partners about that, maybe we shouldn't get into a relationship in the first place. Because the lack of communication will destroy a relationship as well.

But yes, I really agree with the essay.
