say i love you

...

 

I want to say I love you
I want to hear it too
I want to see your smile
and make all your dreams come true

and this will make me cry
and this was never ment to be
and now I just want to die..........

well thats alot of love to share
and i love that ya revived this thread

 

oh gosh, i am so full of love its just plain silly
some say i am too magical...i say i am how i should be

and actually you i am not that close with....but i love your vision and your aura...

 

I dont want to seem like a grouch but there is something about this thread that really bothers me and i am not completely sure how to explain it.

However if we are going to discuss love, what do you people consider to be the difference between compassion and love?

 

hmm good question.. i suppose you can feel compassion for someone for what theyve been through.. but feel love for them for what they have to offer..
i tend to feel both for most people

 

love is just accepting yourself and others as they are...once you have you down...its impossible to not see it in everyone and everything that is good.

 

Why only feel compassion for someone for "what theyve been through"? does that mean compassion = sympathy/empathy?

Are you sure you feel compassion and love for most people? there are alot of scum bags out there, are you sure you could love them?

 

the way you described love there sounds much more like tolerance then love to me...

 

not once you embrace it....to tolerate is simply to deal with....
to love is to embrace...but to embrace requires acceptance.

 

in general scumbags are scumbags cause they dont feel loved

 

Very well put, but it is easy to embrace "everything and everyone that is good" but then again you never claimed to love everyone.

 

generally this makes me want to reach to them more, unless they are so desirous to cause harm that i am frightened by them

 

Maybe, the question is, could you show them love? could you feel compassion for them?

 

of course not, i am not god...i am human and i have parts of me that prevent me from loving certain things...i dont love injustice, i dont love rape, murder, war...i dont love people who want to cause me harm...i love their possiblities but i dont necessarily love them....one still needs to be cautious and be protective, i feel...i couldnt love someone that would cause my daughter harm.
