*Sigh* Does actual, true love really exist anymore? I see everyone around me wanting to do nothing but break up or divorce--is there nothing but hate in this world, now and days? Why do people want to cheat on their wives? Why do we cheat? How is that supposed to be thrilling?!
Punch line:
Is love a real feeling anymore? Does it exist above infatuation and lust? Yesh, a hard subject. But...this is kinda advice for Miss Admin here.
(Yesh, very depressed about this issue--considering about half of the guys at my highschool are GAY. Not to mention...ok, no mentioning another part.)

It does. It has to. Otherwise every brilliant sunset, every dew-jeweled morning, every brush of hand, flit of eye or human gesture is for naught. I cannot believe that love is dead. I believe that love is only dead if you let it die. For me love is a vibrant beat, pulsing through my being all the time. I also know that there are people who shun love. It's a subconsious reaction, a curling in to avoid being hurt. The only way to be hurt is to trust, the only way to be betrayed is to love. That people are unwilling to accept the pain along with the joy is one of the tragedies of existance, the vast majority of people preffering the safe, boring grey of appathy. For these people there is no distinction between a physical act and the essence of life. Therefore it is the physical coupling and not the linkage of a pair of kindred souls that is important and therefore the crass coupling can be completed with any warm body. Love is a connection. Love is life. Sing. Dance. Jump. Shout. Run. This is love. But the truest love, the kind that kindles between a man and a woman, that is the rarest and sweetest of all ideals. It takes work, and is not instant as some would have you believe. But when attained and nurtured it is as pure and good as a spring of water welling from one heart and flowing to cover the world. Do not despair, poor heart. For you love is just around the corner. You have but to reach out and take it into your deepest self. Embrace it. Internalize it. Er...Love it!
Be in love with life and life will love you right back.

Well, I am quite the speechifier when given the chance. However, anyone that knows me usualy anticipates that chance and either gets the heck out of dodge or breaks out the pepper spray and muzzle when I start to go off.

I guess I have a question dealing with this subject *Kameron grabs pepper spray just in case* but I have a friend who is having a real hard time, and I know I just don't know how to put it into words but what is the difference between love and passion? This isn't for me it is just gah!! I hate seeing people down on themselves all the time and I need the right words to show them the difference between this cause I guess you could say I know a real emo person who used to cut their wrists and all and they are indirectly pleading me to help them. That is my pride and joy is to help others seeing as I seem to always be the one that needs help, so if you could help me help them that would be totally awesome and I would owe you guys all something like...hmm...how bout a super sweet mirror that summons demon zombies from the abyss to do your bidding.

I think that one of the main problems with people is that they take themselves too seriously. I think that you should tell your friend to step back and smell the roses, take a look around and get over themselves. Failing that, tell them that love has nothing to do with physical attraction, altho that can exist as well. A good measure is this. If you want to be there for the other person more than you want them to be there for you it's probably lust. Wich isn't all that bad. Just recognize it for what it is and understand that real, that is to say emotional, needs arent going to be filled.

See now I didn't know what the crap passion was at all, but if it is like lust well then I can figure some stuff out.

You shouldn't be after the 'lust' thats probably not a great relationship if its going that way. You should go after more important things. Like getting to know a girl, all her favorites (stuff like that) oh and tell her just how beautiful you think she is (after a while) and thats when the relationship really begins. You need to care for her. Never let her think you don't care for her. Center the relationship around one thing. Our church. You will never be happy without it so why not have it and be happy forever? Well to me these are my views. So yeah enjoy...

dude I don't have no problem with lust. I am helping a friend who is being stupid and has the same beliefs as Vince. Oh and on a side note the friend I am helping is a girl and I don't want her to become like my homecoming date.
