bluegreen Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I read a lot about many things here but so far I believe I did not read about this if you had to make a sacrifice for love what would you have sacrificed? Religion, Country, Family, Job, Friends Also what would you not ever ?
TaraMaiden Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 This, if I may say so, is a ridiculous question. Sacrifice - for what? Why could you not have those AND Love? It's never discussed because it's so rare. Rarely does anyone ever have to do any of those things, on a permanent and final basis, for 'true Love'. And what the hell is that, anyway? Would i sacrifice Buddhism for 'true Love'? No. First of all, there would never be any need, and secondly, my'True Love' would never ask that of me, if he really were a true love. Country? From space, there are no borders, frontiers or boundaries.... Many countries speak English, but I'm fortunate to be Multi-lingual - who ever needs to 'sacrifice' their country for love? And why would it have to be such a sacrifice? (Ain't movin' to Alaska tho'. Not for nobody! Me loves warmth!) I really don't see the whole 'True Love' thing making any of these demands - and as I don't believe there is ever only one 'true love' for anyone, so all the above would be ridiculously foolish things to do.... 1
Emilia Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I read a lot about many things here but so far I believe I did not read about this if you had to make a sacrifice for love what would you have sacrificed? Religion, Country, Family, Job, Friends Also what would you not ever ? How do you mean sacrifice? Would I move somewhere else and leave country, family, job and friends behind? Sure if it was a country I wouldn't mind to live in anyway and could have the lifestyle that I was going to enjoy long term. I could always visit friends and family, done this before. Job is just a job for most of us. I don't know how religion would come into it though, do you mean converting? I wouldn't change my values for another person no.
Eternal Sunshine Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I am a bit low on love so at this point I wouldn't sacrifice anything 3
miss_jaclynrae Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I've moved hundreds of miles away from family, given up alcohol in the home... I don't believe sacrifices are always bad. Depends on if the sacrifice is worth it. 2
Emilia Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Perhaps it depends on what you see as sacrifice and what you don't. 1
TaraMaiden Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Ok the first thing is there isn't anything called true love. its either love or nor. Also, romantic love is not the same as loving your family and friends. Romantic love shouldnt even be called 'love' because its a concept that came into existence only since the 12th century. dating came into being from the 1930s. before this most marriages were arranged and love happened as a result of being together. Once we condition ourselves to these facts and cut throught the bull**** of advertising and paid valentine day promotions, we can progress from this regressive concept of 'true love' Personally, I have sacrificed many things for 'true love'. i have moved countries, changed jobs, lost my friend and stayed away from family but guess what, there isnt a man out there in the sky who looks at these 'sacrifices' and sends down some angels to take care of you. Your heart will get broken and you will break down and cry. Yeah...dragoness beat me to it, but basically this is largely a pile of crock. 'Facts' - they ain't. 1
lissa90 Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I would sacrifice nothing. I'd perhaps compromise on certain things, but to sacrifice friends or family or anything that I consider important in my life, than perhaps it isn't "true love". I'm pretty much happy with most aspects of my life (apart from the dating scene) so I'd want to be with someone who enhances my life, not take away from it.
pcplod Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 "True Love" "TRUE LOVE" "True Love" "True Love" Nope. I'm still guessing. Infatuation? Lust? Narcissism? Egoism? Flattery? Lies? Delusion? Mind you, I'm still, after 50-plus years, trying to figure out what "nice" is, apart from something that is not "bad". 2
