Everyone talks about love. Could love be dangerous?

We all talk about love as though it were something that is desirable to have but I have often wondered about the kind of love that threatens physical harm and surely does psychological harm. What about love from those we do not care to loved by? As in unwanted attention from stalkers who declare undying love for us? What about those who would rather die than be without us? I am afraid of a lot of types of love.

yeah,i think some kind of love can be dangerous.for example , in our life we can find some parents' love to their children(they do everything for their children no thinking about their children's feelings ),some mature daughters'(sons') love to their parents (they don't agree with their single mother or father marring again )must be harmful,though they all think they do these things for love.
i think everyone should understand their duties ,understand which should be done and which should not be done,understand which is the real love.

I agree that there are kinds of love which are not really love but something else masquerading as love. Oftentimes dependence can masquerade as love and that can be a wrong kind of love. I would believe that the only kind of love worth cultivating is the kind that would allow everyone to be strong and independent and capable of loving oneself and others. Love should not be a crutch or a weapon.

There are many kinds of shotgun that anyone can bring into a relationship. One can use the emotional kind or the guilt-trip kind. There is no end to the variety of weapons that anyone can bring to get the upper hand in a relationship, IMHO

Like all things on this earth, nothing is really all that simple. We must take everything and consider all aspects and not just accept things as they appear to be. A very attractive and agreeable person might be masquerading as such and deep inside is really quite toxic.

Love is a positive entity. It's always good as it is perceived by humans. However, men make it appear dangerous and fatal to some. They would add negative propaganda and actions to love making it a harmful entity. Love is not dangerous. It's how we perceive it to be.

As i know love is universal and eternal so it is not only between men and woman so it is for all and everyone so we need to love every human being and we need love nature which it has been giving natural resources so i do love those things i do love friends,relatives,unknown people,animals and everyone because i know to love people and i don't more than these words.

There is love and there is love. Everyone has his or her own idea of what love is. One of the common themes of the world's religions or spiritual philosophy ultimately ends up with love. I am not surprised that there are many thoughts on "love" as there are as many ideas as there are minds and brains. I am sure that even animals have a rudimentary idea of what love is. Love is not universal or personal. It is much more complex than that, I think.
