Hello. I have a question for all the Lost Souls:
What is love in your reality?
To be more specific, I am talking about the kind of love you find between two lovers. I realize how strange this question may sound. But this is very important to me and I would appreciate it if as many people as possible could reply to this with serious answers.
PS: please don't reply with a link to Haddaway's song.

In short, love is patience and acceptance brought to their most complete conclusion; being able to know a person as easily as you know yourself, and not rejecting their worst parts. I'm not sure if quoting my betters is helpful, but it's what has stuck with me for many years.

Thank you. I think it's the most hopeful answer I have had to my question.
If that is what love is like in this reality, then I have reasons to hope.

With responses like you've received, at least the shape of love's impact can still be seen, even if it might seem quite ugly to take all in to account. (´▽`;) It might seem dark, depressing, even dangerous and strange...but love is motivation, to better ourselves and the world around us! Writers don't strike so passionately about anything else save death, after all!
Then again, I'm a writer myself, so I suppose I'm predisposed to being more romanticized on the notion of love? But it's not as if I write romance myself, so maybe that's not true in my case. I am in love, however...that may be the cause of my perspective more than anything else.

[ Not that no one reads or writes any more in the future. But with videos games, movies and so many new things, books are far from the only media that can tell stories by then. ]
You're absolutely correct. I'd never really thought about it... But most famous and influential poems refer to love or death in some fashion. Same for other forms of literature. I guess that's really what defines us as people.
That said, a writer and in love huh? Whoever your significant other is must be very lucky! I hope the two of you will be very happy.

Ah, thank you. (´▽`*) We're as happy as can be, given we're here and all...actually, being here is quite a bit nicer than when we're from, so I guess I should count my blessings. I'd not be able to use these cellphones at all to send cute texts to my s/o otherwise!
But even if reading of classics has dwindled some in this 'modern' age, it's still kept alive by love! I received a commission of sorts to write a love story very recently, so even if it's not the typical genre I pen, I'm dedicated to making good on it! Maybe I could turn to someone else who's curious about love's expressions for review of it?
[ this sounds legit...but given he was asked to write faction leader drama romance,,,, sorry to future monika ]

Gosh, already writing new stories? I would absolutely love to read it. I've been super into romances of late. Though... I think I'd need to break the anonymity of my post for that and...
The question I asked is so embarrassing, ahaha...

I think that is an apt quote.
