I always thought that love means you care about a person and want to see them do good with their lives and become something. If their not your children then you still love them like that But you may not provide for them but would help them out. If they are you then you will provide a platform or things making sure they are doing good. You would not mistreat them bully them or try play games with them, children or not.
You accept that they are not perfect and they may do something bad to you or others but not a criminal act. It should not be an issue for them to at least Try to stop doing something that hurts you (like being rude/treating you like S**t) even if its hard for them children or not. Selfishness is a no and hatred is a no..
Hi Peter, I think your view is great.
Dirt Grinder's, not so much.
Yes, love accept's a person or doggy for who they are.
This not expecting them to 'be any different~ever", I don't.
I expect my whomever or doggy or baby to change bad behavior...
It doesn't mean I stop loving them. For decades I have one friend I love
but doesn't change a couple very irritating traits, which I have never mentioned...my
deceased 5 pound dog never changed EVER peeing in the house...I always hoped and expected a miracle, but I still loved him.
The word ''expect' is the word I have an issue with in your post.
I could say it this way....and if they never change, you still love them.
To be quite honest I am really not at all sure what love is, if indeed it's anything at all. If I go by what is written about it, what I see in movies and in the media I have to say it's nothing I've ever experienced one way or another. As far as I can tell it's a myth and people just use each other.

Is it called fear love when a person you know mistreats you, and you care for them but are scared to tell them to stop. Because you know they might get an attitude ??

SO what do you say about my view on love?
I'll probably die without it, since to me it's over rated.

Mistreat is a big word. I have another friend that seems to be insensitive and occasionally
mistreats friends...I ignored it for 2 yrs then finally said ok that's it, I luv ya, but can't hang with
ya anymore bec you're too mean for me, you're like a street scrapper.
She tries to change, but continues to be snotty at times...I love her bec she was so wounded
as a child..and that behavior is not 'who she is', poor thing...I feel it is not her fault...
And she won't go to therapy so I think of her as a bratty teenager at 60.
Another guy friend asked, Do you think something happened and she has brain damage?
That is how mean she can get, yet we know her spirit is wonderful.
Love is funny...cause I can love someone, but it is unhealthy for me to be around them.
Love makes no sense.
It is a mystery and a wonderful wonder.
I can be robbed from, lied to, ignored, used, taken advantage of, unappreciated,
criticized and misjudged....and STILL love someone so much I would rush to
them at 4 am in the ER and give them all my blood or forgive their cheating and forgetting every birthday.
It shows me if I have this illogical love as a meesely human...how much love does
God have for me/us who does all those things to Him.
And at the same time see that is is simply pure love, not co-dependence.
I believe God places that kind of unconditional love in the person's heart.
Because I couldn't stop it if I tried...and I have bec it just makes no sense.
Love has no pride and is long suffering, for sure.
Love is wanting the other person to be happier than yourself!
