Loving a person means accepting him/her as a whole. Including his/her strengths and weaknesses. The good side and bad side, well you can easily accept the good ones but how about the bad ones? Are you really blind not to see it or just ignoring or denying it?

Accepting someone's weakness is not being blind, not ignoring nor denying it. That's what you call, unconditional love. That's how God loves us. As for me, if you truly love someone, you'll love every bit of his/her character not only the strengths. When it comes to love, it's good to follow how God loves us which is stated in the Scriptures- 1Corinthians 13:4-8a "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonors other, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, a;ways hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

hi greicy07,
welcome to mylot..
i guess you can only say that you truly love the person if and only if you learned to accept and love his/her imperfections..it's neither being blind, nor just ignoring or denying it. that's the first thing you must do if you really love the person..
have a nice day, happy mylotting!ΓΌ

Thank you for welcoming me anjiel052707. ^_^ I definitely agree with you because when you love a person you cannot find a specific reason why you love him/her inspite of his/her imperfection/s. Anyway nobody's perfect. It is just happened and without noticing it, you are now madly inlove with him/her. When your heart speaks your mind cannot fathom. Am i right?

in this world there is no thing that is 100% good or accurate. there is saying that if you want something than have to loose something so is the case with love. you cannot say people are blind in love so that they cannot see the bad things of their partner. actually when you are in love than you get so much that you can ignore that bad part very easily. so people in love don,t go blind but ignores things in love because they are of very less importance.

In my relationship, I have had a lot of trouble accepting the bad side which I found out late into my relationship. I do see it and I acknowledge it, and I still love him the same, not any less than the day before I found out. Our relationship changed when I found out, but I think it has gotten stronger because before I believed he was perfect and did no wrong. After finding out, I realized he is just human and has his flaws and because we went through a lot during the time trying to help him, I think we are better today and have a closer relationship. He knows he can come to me now and I will help him. I think it built a level of trust between us that was not there before. I think everyone has their flaws, but if you love someone, you love them with the flaws and don't judge them for it.

Problems, challenges, troubles in a relationship is normal. Without this things relationship turns to be boring, stagnant and not growing. You will not know your partner very well if this things do not exist. If it happens do not treat this negatively, instead make this as an inspiration. Be determined to make things better because after conquering a problem you can see the difference between your present relationship with the same person than before.

Love is not blind, it can see everything but accepts the other person nonetheless. Love is crazee

Hello there.
I don't believe that love is blind, it is the lover who is blind.
But I must agree that when you love someone you can accept his whole package, no less no more. Maybe because love makes us believe that it can do good things and inspire someone to change for the better, that it can bring out the best in that person we love someday.
When we are in love we keep on believing on the good things only. it seems that everything is beautiful when love abounds in our hearts.:-)

Love may be blind in many cases but not in the sense that go toward something but have no idea what going toward. It may be blind, the idea that doing crazy things, things that normally you do not., love often defies logic., That if it is pure and honest. But if you have a specific purpose, a goal, with someone who shares your love then it's not quite so blind., Anyway love itself is beyond any sense that a man can have.

love is blind only for them who can't see realita. i'm agree with your words "accepting him/her. including his/her strengths and weaknesses". but love blind is not including with that words.

I guess when I fell in love with someone, I just love everything on that person, no matter what. I could find that like something new and loving it. When it comes to bad things, I guess good things lighten bad things. Anyway, I never fell in love with delinquents or that kind of people. I was always attracted by sucessful people.

Love is blind. Loving someone you see them and you don't notice the world around you. You see them and past their flaws and see their true self. When your in love you learn to accept and grow with everything, the good and the bad.
