what is true love to you?

True love is putting another person's interests ahead of your own. True love is caring enough to tell someone when they're making a mistake, but doing it as gently as you know how. True love is being willing to live for someone else, and if need be, to die for them as well.

To me, asking what true love means is like lying down on the grass, and saying "Excuse me grass, why do you grow?"

Well, the difference is that grass cannot help but grow. But love is a decision, and a thing that must be actively maintained..

Ugh, totally out of topic and useless in ways.

1. This is an Introduction section not the question section. So this should be locked or moved to the right section
and 2. I dont have a opinion on the question either.

Hmm. I could see moving it, but not locking it. But that's up to a mod. Little help, please?

Yes, this goes in the other section.

Topic moved

Thanks, Swords.

To be honest, unless you feel it first hand you can't really say for certain what true love is, or what it means to you. Love is mainly based on experience, granted you may love your family but that's different to a romantic sense.

It is a well-documented phenomenon that the romantic sense of love, as many define it, has a tendency to override those things on which the real core basis of love rests. In other words people may think they love someone (such as a rock star) when that love is really for the person's physique or prestige. The greatest love is when you have no benefit to reap from a relationship, or else that benefit is, in your mind and decisions, inconsequential.
For example, if a man leaps in the path of a bullet aimed at his wife and dies, he can no longer reap any benefits of having her as his wife. This is the truest sign of love there can be.

I'm sick of people saying it's a choice or a decision. So it's a decision to love someone? A decision to be married?

Yeah, really makes sense. Not.

Thanks, dunkin.
