Whether it’s familial love, brotherly love, romantic love or whatever other label you may have, putting the word love in it, takes it to a whole new level. Some even rise to the level that makes it appropriate to use the word love. If you’ve ever experienced both kinds, you probably have a definite preference for what I call true love, right? Compare this with a relationship where one person has a form of love for the other, but it isn’t mutual. True love (you may use a different word) is between two people and is mutual in nature and based on the calling of the heart. To me, this is where I differentiate true love from common love. Let’s start with some definitions, shall we? Love is defined at as “A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities or a sense of underlying oneness.” and “An intense emotional attachment, as for a pet or a treasured object.”Īnother definition to consider is infatuation, which is defined as “A foolish, unreasoning or extravagant passion or attraction (synonym of love).” If we look at the second definition listed for love, and apply it to people instead of pets or objects, you can see how it would resemble infatuation. That is a battle that you will eventually lose, so lose it early and get on with your life. If they don’t come back, you would only have been fighting a losing battle to hold on to them. In each of these cases, the love (true love) is only in one direction, the other direction of love is tainted by the reason for the love (something other than true love).īy turning the other person loose, they if they come back, it is (one hopes) because they love you, and the feeling is mutual. The freedom to choose is important, as sometimes a love is out of duty, loyalty, fear (of loneliness or retaliation) or for some other reason. If you love someone, you have to give them the freedom to choose for itself. This quote talks about mutual love and of the only valid test. To me, this quote is speaking of the most fundamental rule of the universe.
