Why Do People Let Other People Determine Their Love?

I never really understood how someone else can tell you how to love and who to love. I beleive love is something you should be able to do with not jsut your heart but your mind. I have seen many people try to tell someone that they shouldn't love this person because of this or they shouldn't because of that. Lvoe is an emotional feeling you have to acquire on your own. Noone can make you love although God said you should love your neighbors. But somewhere we find that hard to do. Noone wants to love a person they don't like or a person they hate. Hate is a strong word adn Im glad Im not a person of hate. You have to come in terms with yourself what it really means to love someone. Lots of times other people get into other peoples love life because they have none of their own. Just because one person may have been in a certain past relationship where it didn't work out doesn't give them the right to tell someone else how to love and who to love. Hearts can be harden this way.

Yes you are 100% correct love should be from on our own thoughts and wish it should not from any one else, I have many of my friends won't express them love directly to the person who they are loving, but they will send them friends to talk about them love or convey them love to them lover. It's very bad idea in many cases the communicator became them stronger lover for ever because they will become very close because of the actual lovers.

Love is so complicated that we may say that I love someone but really you are not,you just don't know what love is.besides the ones in love are blind as an adage says Love is always blind,but the ones have nothing to do with your love are not blind,so maybe they can give us some constructive suggestions.that's what I am think right now.hope it make sense.

To love is something which an individual must do himself or herself. However, some people might see more things and caution that individual in order to save him/her from grief. That is not so bad. Cheers!!
