My week has been going pretty damn weird. Just about every person I talk to the subject is family and the very touchy subject of … dare I say it… love. Everybody has a different idea of what love is. Have you ever asked yourself what is the definition of love? Webster Dictionary would like to tell you that it is a feeling of strong attachment induced by that which delights or commands admiration; preeminent kindness or devotion to another. In the long run depends on what you want love to be.
I thought this inspirational quote about love would pretty much sum up my week. “To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.” Brandi Snyder. I have been watching the movie Grapes of Wrath in my history class. I love the movie and the book. John Steinbeck wrote the book. The whole story is based around family bonds. Even though the world is going to hell around them the still have each other. They were poor and starving during the Great Depression and they still had each other. Now that is a true example of love and family bonds.
The end of the quote makes me think the kind of love you feel when you look into someone’s eyes. The one where you just wish you could pause that very moment of time and just stay in bliss. So many people take for granted the people around them. When you hit rock bottom you still have your friends or most of all your family. I think the idea of love is great it is the only emotion that goes from good to bad and you always have a smile on you face. I hope this put a smile on your face too.
Love, something that cannot be grasped or held but rather felt, words cannot describe it, only actions can. I grew up learning that love is one of the most important things on the earth, without love there would be no passion for life. I love how you used examples in your blog to connect with the readers by using the definition of love, a quote, and parts from the movie Grapes of Wrath. Though life is hard and unpredictable at times it is always more joyful with those whom we love around us, I believe life is meant to be hard to show love, kindness, and bring us closer to each other.
ReplyDeleteLove is undefined by words because it is the actions and emotions that make you love someone. When my boyfriend says he loves me I say prove it, don’t just say it show it. I remember growing up I thought love was like a fairy tale. I thought everyone had their own prince charming that would sweep them off their feet one day and their life would be full of flowers, glass slippers, and all the right words. But love is anything but a fairy tale, love is real and now that I am older I think that when you know everything about someone including their imperfections and love them all the more you are truly in love with them.
ReplyDeleteI love this quote, but it also makes me very sad because with some people, they are your world, but you don't amount up to that to them. Love is a happy and sad feeling. When I was younger, I never even had the idea that love could hurt me, but I soon found out that it could. I hate when you see a little fourteen year old saying they love their partner. I have a sister that throws the word around like it is nothing, and I tell her it is not right. If you really think about it, love is a scary thought. Just knowing your giving your all and you love someone so much, and they can take it all for granted and mess with your heart; that is not how it should be.
ReplyDeleteThough love is a scary thing in most relationships, it can be an amazing thing once you get there and admit to it! Looking at love from a different angle, urban dictionary's definition for it is love: life's way of tricking us into reproducing. Some people do not believe in love and I feel sorry for them. Though there are many different types of love, all should be cherished! I loved your quote and hope I am the one person to somebody. When everything is lost, or you just need something there is nothing better than to have a love person to turn to. Love can bring out the best in us too!
