After watching all the presentations on All About Love, I think one of the most important aspects when it comes to dealing with love is Romantic Love. Romantic Love is important because I feel like our generation now is so blind to what love should be like. Most people are full of so much hormones that they let it get the best of themselves. Instead of waiting and seeking if you really do love the person, they go straight to sex. In most cases, a majority of us would say that sex is for the one person you love. "Save sex for the person you love," sums up what everyone says. But others just give their virginity to someone they could care less for or are indecisive of if they actually love them; some even give it away just because of peer pressure. I think everyone should focus on the romance of love and take the slow route in the relationship. It makes things more interesting and much more special.
An aspect that I think people disregard is Healing. Healing is a long, long process. Healing can be handled in so many ways, due to what your situation is. People die every day and bell hooks points out that everyone should live life as if it were their last day to live. I don't think most people realize how lucky they are to have another day to live. "Live life to the fullest."
isn't that last bit about "Loss"?
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I'm not sure if we need to comment but I feel the need to do so in order to... polish my typing skills:
I agree with every statement of your post, but believe me when i say this. I know that there are people out there who keep their integrity and keep searching for the one that they truly love before they give themselves up.
Also, healing is definitely something that people can miss ( most likely because they are focusing on their current pain.), but remember that we always experience it regardless of whether or not we know of it.
What an interesting conversation here. I think that the issue of integrity that Milo brings up is connected to honesty, trust, and romance. Great connections and perspectives that you share.
