Love By Jim Heals Analysis
A reaction on “Love above Feelings” by Jim Paredes

I have reached a milestone in my life and for me, experiencing love is such one. Year 2010 has closed its doors and another has opened a whole new chapter to my life. Aside from another year which brings me nearer to marriage (just wishing so…), I am on a hung-over which tilted my mind if there is really a true love. When my relationships before are getting near to break up, I really felt as if a lure that I can’t take myself out from. But things aren’t forever as they say. As I run through the previous chapters of my life, I came up with something: that there are lots of people who care for me, who came shared their time to me, and who love me which I appreciated so much. The so called

Love means that I know the person I love; 2. Love means that I care about the welfare of the person; 3. Love means having respect for the dignity of the person I love; 4. Love means having a responsibility towards the person; 5. Love means growth for both myself and the person I love; 6. Love means making a commitment to the person; 7. Love means sharing an experience with the person; 8. Love means trusting the person; 9. Love means that I’m vulnerable; 10. Love is freeing; 11. Love is expansive; 12. Love means identifying the person I love; and 13. Love is giving. Based on Corey’s definition of love, I found things that made him realize that love is not perfect, as to have telling himself he never had a choice either to decide by good feelings, or just feelings alone. That which he defined was the imponderable and sublime “authentic love” which for us humans with flats, failures, and spares would be impossible to feel. Well it’s really why we’re born and why we’re living. Imagine the world without …show more content…
It provides a training ground for love although it means a focused attention on a single aspect of the person, or may I say it’s not the love which grows first. Also with lust, it is always included in the scenario. But one thing to break it all for the sake of having a long-lasting relationship is a good decision and intention. Humans are gifted with the faculty of deciding things as we are called rational beings. We are in a perpetual clash, meaning we are capable of seeing things as to whether allow our human nature to precede uncontrolled on things or to put limits into

    Chapter four starts out with an anecdote explaining how Malala’s grandfather did not help out financially with her Woma celebration because she was a girl, not a boy. (Woma being a traditional celebration on the seventh day of a child's life.) Throughout the chapter she starts to notice and disagree with the divide between how women and men are treated, especially in rural areas, such as her family's village. When Malala goes to the village, all of the women cook food for the men and take care of children, that's all anyone believes they are good for. “My mother and I stayed in the women's quarters downstairs.…

    The definition of love is something that varies greatly among individuals. In E.E. Cummings’s poem “i carry your heart with me”, Cummings effectively conveys that true love is a powerful force that brings complete unity between two people through the use of various literary devices such as capitalization, point of view, form, and imagery to enhance the meaning of his poem.…

    There are no prerequisites for love and belonging, we are deserving of love and belonging simply by reason of existence. This is one of the abounding stunning ideas found in Brené Brown’s work. However, this was such a foreign idea to my way of being and of relating to the world that I had no salutation node towards it nor an A-ha moment. Only after repeated readings and listening did the clouds disperse. Theoretically I recognized its truth, but at some level I felt this truth did not refer to me.…

    What is love? Often enough, as a hormone-struck teenager, I am lectured on what love is not. According to my mother, father, grandmother, aunts, uncles, and every adult figure that has ever made a guest-star appearance in the long-winded romance novel that is my life, love is NOT the warm cuddly feeling I get when I see a cute boy at school. Love is NOT holding hands on the playground; is not caring an abnormal amount for a favorite pair of shoes. I feel as though a vast amount of time is spent describing the negative space of a person’s heart, and not long enough spent defining its shape. Although Pastor Ostrum follows suit with his anti-definition of what love is not, he definitely strikes a chord in my heart when he says that “love is not something we wait to have happen to us, but something we do.” Many might disagree, might argue that love is a two-way street; that in order to give we must first receive. However, in the novel “Until They Bring the Streetcars Back,” by Stanley Gordon West, Cal Gant demonstrates this principle of giving time and time again.…

    What is Love? Does anyone really know the meaning of the word? Does it have a different meaning to different people? In Kipnis’s essay “Love Labors”, Laura Kipnis touches on many different aspects of love. This is a touchy subject simply because love brings out many different opinions and beliefs. Kipnis argues over the fact that in order to have a good relationship and love someone people have to be able to meet certain requirements, which are mutuality, communication, and advanced intimacy.…

    “Love, what is love? I don't think you can really put it into words. Love is understanding someone, caring for him, sharing his joys and sorrows. This eventually includes physical love. You've shared something, given something away and received something in return, whether or not you're married, whether or not you have a baby. Losing your virtue doesn't matter, as long as you know that for as long as you live you'll have someone at your side who understands you, and who doesn't have to be shared with anyone else!”…

    We, as greedy, impatient people chase after love when we want it, yet we fail to realize we don’t find love, love finds us. We can choose who we hate, but we cannot control who we love. We love those who hurt us, but hurt those who love us. Victims of Love want to grasp onto love once they find it and never let it go, yet we learn that if you love someone, you have to set them free. We long to always be with those we love yet we are blind to see that distance makes the heart grow fonder.…

He makes it clear that at such a young age, what teenagers think is love, can make them do dangerous things. Teenagers cannot comprehend what love is because there is flood of hormones fogging their minds.…

    Love and Schroeder

    • 1923 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Love is a very multifaceted definition that has been interpreted in countless ways. Tim Schroeder attempts to come to an ultimate conclusion asserting that love isn’t an emotion, as many people might initially believe – thus, this is a very controversial argument. Schroeder manages to support his claims quite thoroughly, making it a generally good argument altogether. However, because he is discussing such a controversial topic with copious room for variability and misinterpretation, there are some deviations and incomplete thoughts that are worth examining critically. When we’re dealing with something as subjective as love, which holds many different connotations to many different people, it’s impossible to have a perfect argument. This evaluation will begin with a broad overview of how the argument is written, followed by a step-by-step interpretation of the various premises and subconclusions, and how they support the speaker’s ultimate conclusion.…

    This is an article review of “Master of Love” written by Emily Esfahani Smith a manner and morals columnist at The New Criterion and published at The Atlantic website on June 12 2014. The “Master of Love” article is mostly about the difference between couple in romantic relationship who last long and those who don’t. I choose this article to review because the topic itself is very interesting, how couples make their romantic relationship last ever after and how they destroy it too. I’m not in a romantic relationship with anyone right now, but hopefully when the right person and the right time come, I’ll be ready because I read this article beforehand. The article corresponds with communication study of interpersonal communication and relationship…
