On Love
I am beginning to really like the General Forum
 I used to only visit the Tolkien boards, but now I find myself doing just the opposite.I thought it would be interesting if I shared some of my English work done for my senior High School's class last year. Wow, that was a badly arranged sentence. It's just a journal entry for my English class, but I think it can be very topical. Feel free to post any thoughts about it. Quote:
Criticisms (on the content, not the writing style [which would belong in the writer's forum]) are most welcome, as well as any other ideas about what I have said here, and your ideas of love are welcome.

Ahhhh we are trying to sum up love i dont think there has been any amount of books songs or poem written that sum it up we have the word love to try and convay an emotion that we cannot convay.
I love my girlfriend i have no idea why i do but i do. I love the way she looks in the morning i love the fact she dont mind farting i just love her full stop if she has a fault its i feel i dont deserve her but then again she says the same about me so i dunno we have just called a truce on that argueement! Love can be held by one person for another but is it love the act of love is a connection and i think a connection is what mainly love is. Its something you connect with or hold dear i love my car! does my car love me of course it doesnt its a machine but i am connected to it so that love exists. I love my country! does my country love me? What is my country it is mearly a peice of land its not possiable for me to love me for England to love me everyone and everything in it would have to know who i am wouldnt they? Put simply i think love and hate are the two words we use when we have an emotion that we cannot ever fully jusify

I have to say that I basically agree with the content. A good distinction, and an important one.

  I'm just kidding around buddy. But seriously... how does love act? I believe it acts differently for different people. For some, it makes them do odd things to win the attentions of their love, for others it gives them a new perspective on life, etc. For some people love turns their guts to jelly but they never reveal their true feelings.

Love... is the light of a distant star which guides a man as he walks alone through the dark of night.
Marriage... is the hole he falls into for not looking where he's going.

Love is something made up by bad teenage movies to make us grow up with ridiculous ideals and ultimately be depressed because we didn't live happily ever after.

Love is utterly subjective, which is why a man can be in love with a woman, but the woman feels indifferent to the man.

Eh. I've given up on relationships. Who would have me for the rest of their lives? I'm going to be a cat lady instead...as long as I feed their fluffy butts and scritch them, they'll love me.

Here's another short pithy enigmatic comment on love, just because I'm in the mood - love is a choice. And another - love is wonderful! awesome! amazing!

Everyone's entitled to say what they want about love, but I wasn't quite going for enigma. *shrugs*
"Love acts" and "Love is a choice". What do you mean by these statements?
