I can't believe I'm saying this.

But recent events have led to me to question if love is real.

Can it really conquer all. Stand up to anything.

Or is it a fad that has come and gone. Dead.

NO. it is real.
But is the love you are currently experiencing sincere or insincere? Is it just something to fill a hole.etc. those are the questions.

but LOVE is still real.

I don't believe there is insincere love. If there is love, it is simple. Love is love. Not something that can be described as sincer or insincere. If love is there, it is simply love.

Perhaps one day erin, you can introduce me to love. You can lead me up to love, and introduce us. I can shake loves hand. Maybe that would give me hope. Seeing is believing.

Sure. Anytime :o)

[tylerherman]

Don't say anytime. Not unless you mean it.

Words like anytime can be dangerous. It suggests that at the drop of a hat, any day any hour, I'm welcome to request that you do so.

Don't ever let your words be empty. Else you do them injustice.

If you do mean it. Then don't be suprised to find me outside your house at 4 in the morning throwing rocks at your bedroom window.

Love exists. When the bible was first written, there were four different words to describe what we call "love". The most important are agape and phileo.

The greek word "Agape" is represented by God's love for us. It is a non-partial, sacrificial love probably best shown by this verse:

"For God so loved (agape) the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16) The gift of God's son as a provision for sin was given to all humans, regardless of who we are. God's love is unconditional..

On the other hand, there is "Phileo", which is kind of like brotherly love. It is earthly love. It is conditional and based upon how other people behave toward us. It isn't unconditional, it isn't at all how God loves us. But it may be the only kind of love we are able to feel here on earth.

Maybe you're searching for a "love" that no one is able to feel...

uncoditional love is something humans are capable of.

For instance. I love god unconditionaly. Maybe its something that two humans aren't capable of. But it is something I feel for god. No matter what happens. I love him unconditionaly.

However. I'm not searching for love. I gave up looking for love a long time ago. Before I wondered if it was maybe just a passing fad.

I don't think I will ever be able to find love. Love will have to find me. I'm just not sure I'll recognize it when I see it. Because after to many times of trying to share my love. I turned my back on it.

My relationship ship and love for god remains something independent still though.
