Love?

[Salems lot]

So a thought crossed my mind recently. Is it possible to forget love, or more specifically what it's really like? Others opinions and input would be great, thanks

No love is the same. Sometimes you love someone like candy, you wanna eat them because you like sweets... Sometimes you love them like a flower, you wanna water them and watch them grow and bloom... Sometimes you like someone like the sunshine, you want to keep their sky clear so you can see them shine.

Wow Prat, that was kind of beautiful. 

 

I don't think you can ever actually forget love, once you have experienced it. But it is possible to forget that you are worthy of being or giving love.  I think it's the knowledge of the existence of love that keeps a lot of us going through life.

In my opinion, I think that someone who's been on they're own for a while can feel like love is alien, a foreign concept, not so easy to fall back into. However I do believe everyone strives to love and be loved. If any of that makes sense?

 

**Edit**

I also believe due to past experiences with love some people could grow to prefer being alone

Personally I believe that it is possible forgetting that you are, or individuals are worthy of love. Everyone defines love with their own perceptions, their own experiences so I think there is no vividly shaped definition of love. I've witnessed people who try to abstain themselves from love, for love's necessity of sharing any single detail with that specific significant other. Especially in romantic bilateral relationships.

 

People's getting rejected and sometimes being bullied due to their affection towards something often ends up with their dissociation, and eventually their unability of developing love in the first place. I believe that every person borns with a tendency to look for love, no matter what, even when they don't realize that. Soooo in my opinion, the way you experience love changes the way you develop a viewpoint for it.

I like the idea that love is the only emotion. Sometimes love expresses itself in strange ways, like hate or fear or jealousy or sadness... But it's always some form of love.

I agree Prat. Love is one of those hard to wrangle words that means different things in different contexts. English is sorely sorely deficient in words that are able to capture all of the emotions, sensations, and feelings bundled up in a single syllable word like love. 

 

Let's take another word that is as complex and ambiguous as love. "Art". Is it possible to forget art? I don't believe so because art is a concept not an experience. Experiences can be forgotten. Concepts are inherent and are instinctually felt. 

 

That's the best I can do with such a multi-layered idea.
