Love is complicated because we make it that way. We decide how to react to other people and what feeling to share or not to share. People alone are complacated it's bound to be that two people together will be complicated even more. [show less]

Love is worth being complicated. People don't spend their entire lives committing to and fighting for something that is not ultimately worth the effort. If you are that bound up over Love than it probably isn't as complicated as you think. [show less]

We get confused between what we desire, and what we think we ought to desire.

"Falling in love" is a biological response to sexual attraction. It's designed to keep a man a woman together long enough to get the next generation going. A long-lasting relationship is based on commitment and some actual compatablity. People need to be a little more rational about love, even at the risk of losing some of the romance. [show less]

Kahlil Gibran on Love...

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.

When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

Love is All, even when you're not in it.

With things the way they are, it's not going to get more simple for a long, long time.

Love is something to feel with one's heart & soul. It disguises itself in many ways, and only with an open heart and open mind will it appear. If love were easily obtained it wouldn't be a grand, for it would be another common thing all would have, and we know that's not so...Love is complicated because it tests us and makes us live in reality..Love is complicated because as the saying goes.."anything worth having is worth the risk"..

Therefore, it's simply you trying to rationalise attraction to a member of your preferred sexual orientation group in a manner which appeals to your psyche rather than admitting to the cynical answer I've put here. [show less]

Love is not something you obtain or get. It's something that you realize is there and harmonize with. Trying to win it, steal it, keep it, give it, etc will lead to the "complication" [show less]

When love is really a verb, it is something you DO, it is an action.

Life is not a movie....what you see on tv and film, read about in books and poems; they create impossible Utopian ideas of love. They create standards by which love is measured, when in reality it is unmeasurable. It has become so overwhelming that it has become the sales-pitch of many a salesman....."That will definitely say, I love you!".

It's no longer enough to look someone in the eyes and say with conviction and honesty that you love them. It's not enough. Society now requires us to purchase something, create a spectacular experience, compete with some of the worlds best writers to show (through film, tv, books etc) a significant other how much we love them.

It makes me sick......I long for days when you could hug someone and know that you were loved without the pressure of having to set up some fairy tale act.

Wow, sorry....yep....love is complicated. [show less]
