most people have the misconception that love is supposed to be like the stuff in fairytales. however, it's not. love isn't just about the relationship between 2 people with all the mushy stuff. there are different kinds. examples are love for family, friends, life, etc. the best proof that love exists is the fact that people possess various kinds of relationships. love is the root of many things like unity, respect, trust, etc. without it, it's either we live in a world of indifference or not live at all. loving and caring are closely related. caring is like giving heartfelt concern. loving is caring and some other extras. example, when you love, you learn to sacrifice and accept some things for what they really are. to be totally in love with someone may perhaps seem possible. the thing about being in love is not the illusion of living happily ever after. to be truly in love, you realize that you have to take the good with the bad. that calls for a lot of compromise and even times where you just got to swallow your pride.

The love is basically a pronoun from an adjective to have something. The word "something" at here, could mean the person or object, whether movable or immovable, tangible or intangible. In practice, people often say love in the sense to have it within a period of time, so, sometimes they have dream of love is like a tale which full of romance

Love in real terms calls for mutual trust and sacrifice. It is to flow from within oneself like a natural stream flowing over the hilly terrain making its own path.Love to be real and genuine,must stay untouched by all kind of differences and limitations on the part of the partners of relationship. It must be unconditional and unquestionable. It must have the power to dissolve the individual ego and pride,expecting nothing in return fro the other side.

Love in fairyatales is more fantasy than anything else. Real love takes time to nurture and develop and grow. You have to take the good with the bad when it comes to love. Love in a fairytale only shows the simple beauty of love. it dowesn't show what giving and receiving love can mean.

yes^^ love is not only good things^^ we also have to accept the bad things^^ there is this guy i was loving^^ i was so caring to him^^ but he was always jealous of other guys also every time we argued he just turnt his back to me. anyway i really liked him so i ignored that and always talked with him and he did it again and again. now i decided to forget him bcs he always just acts as he want. leaves conversations, always say for me to forget him, never trust my feelings. i think is pride is stronger than the love he has for me. so it just means he is not the right guy for me. bcs when we argue is always me trying to make things right lately. is never him or when he says sorry says is better i forget him bcs he just hurts me. he just wants give up always so. you know i never give up unless i really see is impossible to be with that person. like this guy that even i cried for him. i cant always be sad or crying or arguing. so you are right. if we love someone we must let pride behind and say how we feel. i always did that but this guy i loved never did.
