I know it's really bad to ask this here but the thing is, I don't know how else to gather answers.
In school, we have an exam where we have to produce a presentation. The grade we get on this will matter in future when applying for jobs. My presentation is on, "How has society's view of love changed over time?"
In order to get modern day answers, I would like it if you all told me your attitudes towards love. Then, I could catagorise the main feelings and reference them. (I'm sorry again, I'll delete this thread when I'm done)
So, what are your attitudes/opinions towards love?
Well, a lot of people think love is different things depending on what that entity or item is, but it really isn't.
Love is a feeling that can be for anything. It's unlike sadness, happiness, anger, or pain. It's all of them put into one word which defines the messy relationship of two beings or anything other. Love is something you feel when you feel connected to something, or someone. You will pay more attention to that certain, special person or thing, you will cherish it, you will try to hold onto it for as long as possible, you will try to keep it safe. But sometimes, some people will take it for granted.
A lot of people think that things will last forever. They don't stop to think that the entity they love could, one day, die out. Be gone forever. Which proves that love can be overwhelming, it can distort a person's way of thinking. It can be dangerous.
But at the same time, love can be a beautiful thing. If you're careful, and don't take it for granted, love can make you happy. A life can only truly be lived if there is love in it. Everyone, even sadist or psychopaths, can love something, anything. When they were young, they probably loved a lot of things.
Then you have the love that a lot of people think is wrong. For example, LGBTQ+ love. People think that you shouldn't love someone who is LGBTQ+, but that's not the case. You can't control love, it will go wild no matter how hard you try. In my personal opinion, LGBTQ love is probably one of the more wonderful kinds of love. It shows that you can be free with love, you can love whoever you want, whatever you want, no matter what others think.
People think they can change the world with their opinions. Yeah, maybe. But that doesn't mean you can change the way love works. Cupid can be naughty if he wants. He will make two people fall for each other in the strangest, weirdest ways. But in the end, he will still make them love one another. Because he wants them to be happy.
So don't take love for granted. Don't throw love away like it's nothing. For it's the most powerful feeling someone can feel.
Okay I think I'm done. xD
