Why do you love?

We did this not once, but several times, in several places. I felt like doing it again. But really, why?

Because He made it His word.
Because my parents showed me what it was like to be so.
Because an MID told me he loved me, and I believed him . Never mind that he broke my heart a few years later.
Because it feels good to love, whether or not it is returned.
Because it's infinite and unmeasurable.
Because you can't really define it. Like, what is it?
Because it isn't something you can control.
Because, like, love makes the world go round!
Because I got sick of criminal-wannabes kicking up a fuss and asking me 'Was that me you were talking about?' Like, no. Hell. Maybe. Who cares? I love you anyway so rest easy in that.
Because it isn't a constant, and you've got to work at it.
Because it's also very confusing, and you're not sure whether love is really love, really.
Because its better to hate and incite hate, so love and spread love? (Corny, but true, ya?)
Because someone called me up one day, and asked if he could take me out to dinner.
Because he told me that we would have many more years of argueing and making up ahead of us, so I'd better get used to it. If that's not love I don't know what it is.
Because I actually, really, really like working at this current one. It's an enjoyable adventure.

And then maybe, because it's Christmas, that's why.

  4. “Because it’s also very confusing, and you’re not sure whether love is really love, really”

  6. I love chocolate – but I am allergic to it … why am I always being hurt by the ones I love! Waaah! Chocolate, you are a harsh mistress!! Waaah!

  7. Actually, I think the Lyrics to ‘How soon is Now?’ by ‘The Smiths’ might be a more appropriate response to the question from me. :-)

    (They use it as the theme to Charmed for those too young to remember ‘The Smiths’.

    I am the son
    And the heir
    Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
    I am the son and heir
    Oh, of nothing in particular

    You shut your mouth
    How can you say
    I go about things the wrong way ?
    I am human and I need to be loved
    Just like everybody else does

    Oh …
    Oh …

    There’s a club, if you’d like to go
    You could meet somebody who really loves you
    So you go, and you stand on your own
    And you leave on your own
    And you go home, and you cry
    And you want to die

    When you say it’s gonna happen now
    Well, when exactly do you mean ?
    See, I’ve already waited too long
    And all my hope is gone

    gah… i was hoping you guys could give me your versions of ‘because’ lah… AIYOH.

  12. because we hate as well?

  13. because we love attachment, and love is one kind of the many attachments :mrgreen:

  14. MS – Because we love being tortured!!!!

  15. there’s no such thing as LOVE nowadays, mate! it doesnt last coz people change. most of the time its jus for fun. a lot of time people r not sensitive about life.. jus enjoy life while u can and stay cool..

  16. because he/she is everything we r not. The thing is we think we r happy,we think we’r whole n then we realize we aint shit without the other half.

    Okok…i cheat. It’s from the movie “Guess Who?”. But it’s kinda true…tat’s y we love.

  17. Because they complete us. Bwahahahaa! You had us at Hello! oh, wait, you never said Hello! Bwahahahaaa!

    Merry Xmas and happy New year.

  18. Love is something each of us perceived it to be, but in reality love is not what it’s really is. Are we all so lame and spineless that we need to be in love to survive?

  19. if there’s a motive behind love then it’s not called love, it’s called social engineering.

    to quote wikipedia -”Social engineering also applies to the act of face-to-face manipulation to gain physical access to computer systems opposite sex.”

  20. Because He IS love, and thus we all have a natural capacity to love, if not romantically then at least the people closer to us, like family and friends.

  21. because I need to get laid??

  22. Just wanted to drop by and say Merry Christmass! God bless you.

  23. Other Kenny -do you know how many women have said that to me … Dabido, I love you because I need to get laid!!!
