We were given the assignment of writing an essay over one of twelve possible ontological questions and we have to incorporate a book we have read into the essay. Quotes or etc. I wish to know if I have done a good job with it or not, so here it is :
What is love?
What is love? Love is love, passion, kissing, holding hands. Love is being with your family, protecting your little sister, looking out for others. Love is knowing your unique in your own way, there is no other exact person in the world just like you. There isn't and can't be a basic definition for “love”.
“When Bruce the second says ‘I love you’ after I . . . do certain things with him, he is careful to immediately divert away, like “I love you when you yell at the frat guys making too much noise down the halls when we’re alone in my room. You give the most excellent bitch tirade, and now all those guys only envy me more. I love you for that” Quoted from the book Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List, love takes many forms, possibly coming from something as simply as a one night stand, a quick kiss on the cheek, or holding hands in the movie theatre. When you wake up next to that certain someone in the morning and can’t help but to say to yourself “God he is beautiful”.
“When I tell Ely ‘I love you,’ I’m not lying to him. I’m lying to myself. He absorbs my words as if they’re natural, coming from his best friend / almost-a-sister.” This is not to be mistaken for the same kind of love as a loveual relationship type love. Rocking a newborn baby back and forth in your arms is a way you show your feelings to an infant, though it may not understand what your doing. Humans have all sorts of ways to show there love to each other such as simply spending time with them, watching out for them so they don’t fall down, and being there to catch them when they need a helping hand.
“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.” Standing in front of the mirror, continuously asking yourself “Am I pretty”, debatable as it may be you must learn to love yourself before you can learn to love others. Loving yourself meaning that you know your special, your beautiful inside and out.
Whether its teen love, a quick romance, or helping your grandmother take in the groceries, to love is to be human. The single most complicated word in the English language to comprehend, yet probably the most important word to ever be thought up, only this word can describe our true feelings for someone in a way that nothing else can. I love you, I love you, I love you.
Please keep the commentary relevant, I wish for helpful criticism, not “Ololo ur essay suckzz.” : Well oops I forgot to make it not suck, not very helpful.
