What is True Love? : My Thoughts & Reality.

There are fours elements of love that makes it true love. These elements must combine to make love true and long-lasting. They're not magical or even spiritual concepts, they're simply behaviors and virtues that we must hold in order to make love strong. They make a relationship much more joyful and fulfilling.

The first one is kindness or benevolence. This is not only the desire to make someone happy but the ability to do so. You can harness the ability of kindness by truly looking at the one you love and developing a deeper understanding of who they are as a person. By understanding the person you love, you will, in turn, learn how to love them. This understanding is based on the ambitions, the desires and the troubles of your love.

The second one is compassion. This is the ability to ease the pain of others, as well as the desire to. This is also based on understanding, but the understanding of the suffering of your love. Only when you truly understand their suffering will you be able to help in alleviating and easing their burdens.

The third one is joy or happiness. This element of true love is one of the most important, and in some ways, it ties all four elements together. If there is no joy or happiness in love, then the love is not true. If your love upsets you or distresses you, then it is, in fact, not love to begin with, or the love has been lost. Love must be fulfilling and bring joy and happiness to those who feel it.

When we are in love and we experience joy from it, our love grows stronger, and this is a sign that the love is true. Once there is no joy or happiness in love, then there is no longer any love.

The fourth one is freedom. When love is true, both people within the couple should have freedom, and feel free within the relationship. Each person should feel free to be an individual to allow them to grow and develop in their own way. This allows you to be yourself and have time alone, safe in the knowledge that your love is doing the same. There should also be freedom within the relationship, being able to feel comfortable to share ideas and thoughts without fear of judgment. Having freedom whilst also being able to be a part of a couple is a sign of the truest love.

What does society think love is?

For most people in today's societies, the problem of love consists above all in being loved rather than the act of loving, that is, the ability to purely love. That's, mainly, why the problem for them lies in being loved, than to be worthy of love. To achieve this goal, they adopt various strategies. One of them, used substantially by men, is to - succeed; being powerful and rich, as far as the social margin of his position permits. The other, used by women principally, is to - be attractive, through body care, clothing, etc.

Therefore, people think that love is about passion, and as a corollary of it, they look for it (erroneous feeling of love), which is the act of loving yourself, unevenly, the way you love other, and as a consequence, only a love of giving predominates, not including an unconscious love, before the virtues and peculiarities inherent in the other being.
