is love enough? [+ favourites]

is love enough to truly live life to it's fullest? is love enough to truly understand the life we live and accept it on it's own terms? is love enough to truly be happy?

no... but it makes everything a lot easier

It depends on ur perception of love. If u mean love as in 'loving' ur Girfreind or boyfreind, or even 'loving' ur parents,which are the lowest and most pathetic kinds of love then no, that iz definately not enough, and often, it makes life even more difficult then easier; relationship problems,suicidal tendancies...
However, if ur talkin bout 'real' love, then thats sumtin else. Now what the hell iz 'real' love? Well, it cannot be explained in words, but it's experiancing the the universal love that flows within u.
Nywayz, it won't make sense to nyone whu hasn't experianced these higher forms of love, but lets just say that once u have reached a certain level in meditation, then u may catch a glimpse. That is all I have, something less then a glimpse, and with that, I feel that even if I lose everything in the world, I l still be very happy and content, because I can survive on love alone.

love is the answer, but questions are still needed for a fulfilling life.

Yes, or rather, first come the questions, then the 'true' love

"I'll heal ur woundz I'll set u free, I m jesus christ on xtacy"

Yes, or rather, first come the questions, then the 'true' love, but ofcourse, very few ppl have experianced that, so lets jus say that love and questions go hand in hand(ofcourse in that way, countless number of things can be included, like grit, determination, patiance etc)

But if u have love inside you, then all these things, all the postive values of life will automatically come into u.
Love and negativity can't both exist inside you at the same time

"I'll heal ur woundz I'll set u free, I m jesus christ on xtacy"

Love can be enough only when one is enlightened through it and not restricted by it in any way. When you have love within you and are able to use it to enrich your own life, and of lives those around you, then you experience a fullness and completeness that just can’t be compared to.

"My time passing.."

in that case, what with all you people talking about questions and stuff...
what are the questions of love? are you in love? is your love truthful? does it exist at all? what questions are you talking about?
personally, i don't like to ask questions. love is a feeling, therefore i like to feel it, not think about it. and as for which love i'm talking about, i'm talking all love, wife, gf, bf husband, friend mother father stranger anything and everything. do you think these feelings through, or do you just feel them blindly and heedlessly?
thanks for replying to a confused teenager, cheers

"hope and love are the meaning of life"

Well, that depends on ur defination and perception of love...

@ gilbert, regarding the questions I wz talkin bout, I meant dat throu questions we may perhaps be able to c the path of love. nywayz, as ur reffering to wordly love, then you shoudln't think bout it, if it happens so be it, if it doesn't so be it. Dont exaggerate or under rate it, just let it be

Ok, now regarding the perception of love. Everybody here has so far only been concerned with 'wordly' love or a lower form of love. The love I m talkin bout is the one which spiritualisim talks bout...
Nyway, even with wordly love, yes it is enough, i.e, as long as it lasts. If ur 'in love' with ur girlfreind, then during those moments u will feel love iz the only thing u'll need, although it may be a different story when, not if, there is a breakup.

Theres 3 types of love:
Eros, which is based to physical attraction and fulfillment, Philo: which is the friendship love, and Agape: which is the giving love.
With these loves, it does help life to become fulfilling and it could be all what you really need. Only if it doesn't become a problem or a burden to you and others and it's effects would be positive and enlightening.

Then what kind of love are you talking about?

"Crap. I lost my watch, now I'm lost in time."

^^He's talking about Godly love.....the being of our existence all powerful everlasting love, contentment with nothing..... that type of love, not needing anybody to love, but having everybody to love.....confusing??....I mean why segregate love in 3 parts??....in the end it's still love right??..so why not just go for love alone without breaking it down..(destroying it)..
