As I have grown, I have encountered many different circumstances that have had an impact on the things I believe in. I have had some beliefs that have been proven wrong, and some beliefs that did not exist at one point but are now a major part of my life, but one belief has stayed the same through everything that I have been trough and that is “Love”. Love is such a broad topic but the love that I believe in is much deeper. I believe that love is so strong that it is blind and can conquer hate. I have personally witnessed blind love conquer the hate that could possibly never be broken and produce something so beautiful. My brother and his girlfriend are the perfect example that I have personally witnessed over the past five and a half years. …show more content…
During those two years that Halee and her grandparents did not speak, she was never angry. She knew that their opinion did not mean any more to her then a grain of salt. She knew that they would eventually come around. The expression “kill them with kindness” was real. She knew that the hate in their heart would not mean anything in the end. They have been together five and half years and in the mean time she graduated college at The University of South Alabama in May with a degree in sociology and is now enrolled in graduate school at North Alabama and my brother will be graduating from South Alabama in May of this year with a degree in criminal justice. They have their own apartment in Spanish Fort, they both have their own cars, and they are one hundred percent …show more content…
Something so trivial as melanin should not stop someone from loving another person. Jarad and Halee’s love is so beautiful because they have been through so much hate, controversy, and straight up ignorant people and they still love each other the same way. Halee and La’Jarad believe in each other and push each other to be the best version that they could possibly be. They have already been through so much and have survived. When my brother and Halee met she could have easily decided to pass my brother up because she knew that her grandparents would be mad. But love is blind and she decided to give him a chance. Her grandparents are now speaking to her regularly and have accepted that she is in love with my brother. It was very hard for my brother when he found out what happened with Halee’s grandparents but they made it through it and their love story is what I believe in. Because of the example that I have watched for five and a half years I know that true love exists. Love is blind and hate does not stand a chance against
reality. A belief can be modest or tragic, but the true believer seperate one idea to another
The love in ones heart is not always as noticeable as we would like it to be; yet it is always present if someone truly loves another. It is hard not to have such a strong and desirable love for someone you have missed in the past. Ma and Tom Joad had so much love for each other, and it is rather funny how no one really noticed it but them. They always looked out for one and other during the hard times, it was the helping hand of the other that made them survive. "She crawled close to his voice ` I wanta touch ya again, Tom. It's like I'm blin', It's so dark. I wanta remember, even if it's only my fingers that remember `..." (569). If that person that you love with all your heart has to leave you, it would be the worst feeling in the entire world because you would know just then that you might not make it without them during the tough times. Ma Joad feels that exact emotion toward her son Tom. Thought must run through both of there head about how they will ever live without the other. It is a hard thing to face and a hard thing to defeat. The relationship between Ma Joad and her beloved son Tom is more than just family love; during the trip their connection grew to dependence and need.
Mature Love In Laura Kipnis Against Love, what I believe love to be is uniquely questioned and probed in every manner. Kipnis yanks at every part of a relationship that is, according to her, inevitably bound to fail. Unfortunately I believe she mostly writes about the negatives of marriage and infidelity rather than love. It is troubling to agree with her uncomfortable views on marriage and coupledom becoming a sort of renunciation of personal desires, but I think Kipnis is brave in creating this polemic suggesting the way love has been programmed into us by modern society, as an all encompassing, fantasy type of love, all about one person forever.
My life is governed by the beliefs of the Christian faith. The teaching of Christianity is the driving force that gives me confidence, hope and self-acceptance through God’s unconditional love. God’s love enables me in faith
In this chapter 2 of Knox and Schacht the authors explain the way to conceptualize love as well as all the aspects that are incorporated into love. The ways in which people view romantic and realistic love and how here in America we look at romantic love in a sort of fairy tale way. The authors explain the different styles of love that people can be categorized under in different relationships. Knox and Schacht take a look at arranged marriages in other countries and how love is intended to come after you are married and not before Knox and Schacht 2016, pg. 37-45). If relationships are focused on sexual attraction it takes away from simply being friends with a person which can also lead us to not actually seeing a person for who they really
Peak views love and friendship as people who are caring and helpful. Peak’s stepfather tries every connection he has to help him get out of being punished for climbing a building. His whole family cries when he has to leave the country as his punishment. Peak states, “He [Peak’s step-father] looked at Mom and the twins, and for the first time ever I saw tears in his eyes. ‘We’re going to miss you’” (Smith 30). Peak never viewed his step-father as someone he loves, not until he sees him crying and sad because Peak has to leave. Peak now views love as people who care for him and love him. He now begins to care for and love his step-father, as a real father. The way Peak views friendship is very important because it defines who he thinks are his friends, and who loves him.
What exactly is blind dating? Bind dating is when on a date with a person with whom one don’t know until the actual date. Usually the date up by someone you know, for example a friend, a relative, or even a colleague from work. Blind dating can be wicked, but it’s convenient and you are opening yourself to meet people that don’t quite fit into the social norms of life, also known as a nutter.
The essay “Homeward Bound” By Janet Wu reminds us that we can have feelings towards people who we are so different from us, also it shows us the importance of having this kind of relationship no matter the contrast. Wu talks about her and her grandmother. Her father was separated from his family in the 20th century, which made him move to the US. But her father has tried to contact his family for 30 years, until he came to know that his mother and brother were alive, so the first thing he did was to gather his family and go to China. When Wu first met her grandmother, they both had feelings towards each other, Wu says “And yet we communicated something strange and beautiful. I found it easy
Humans experience three types of love in their lives: eros, philos, and agape. Eros love is conditional, like the love we experience for our favorite foods or TV shows. Philos love is conditional still, but deeper; the love we experience with our friends and family is philos. Agape love unconditional and everlasting; agape love is the love that devours. Humans cannot exhibit agape love for anything or anyone, but rather, only God can. God shows us agape love through Jesus’ crucifixion for our redemption. By sacrificing His one and only Son, God has freed humanity from sin. What about those that still sin? Does God truly love everyone with such unconditionality, or is His agape love reserved for an elite few? God’s love is indeed for everyone,
At least once in their life a person will cross the path of love. They will find someone they feel deeply affectionate for and in some cases the feeling will remain throughout the rest of their life. Love has always overlapped the lives of many, creating both happiness and sadness. As time has moved forward love has also moved forward and is constantly being shaped by four key factors. These four factors are race, identity, gender, and religion. Similarly to these factors shaping love they also shape and inform the community. The reason for this is because love and the community coexist. Love can be used to influence the community and as love is shaped and informed by race, identity, gender, and religion so is the community.
There are many positive things and negative things about the movie and the story. In the movie
“A Love like that was a serious illness, an illness form which you can never entirely recover” said Charles Bukowski ,a German born poet. Love can exist in many forms; however, there is one manifestation of love that seems to have fascinated humanity since the dawn of history. This is the love that two people share when they “fall in love”- the love that is now more frequently described as passionate or romantic love. In this sense, love has a special place in human affair. It has always been a universal preoccupation. It may be that lovers’ madness is part of the human condition. The connection between love and states of illness and madness has existed since antiquity. In fact, love is an illness that leads to many psychological and physical disorders.
I disagree and would argue that being in love and loving someone has two very different meanings. The word love is used too loosely. Loving someone and being in love with someone are two very different things. Although I am not a love master, being only 19 years old and in two serious relationships in my life, I have come to realize being in love is something special. I believe when you are in love it’s not a choice, that person is picked for you. You are addicted to them, you want all your friends and family to love them as much as you do, you are there when they succeed and there when they fail, you miss them every minute you are apart and you unconditionally love them, even when times get hard.
What is love? Love is a very special and meaningful word to each human being. Each human being has his/her own thoughts about love to guide himself/herself to land safely and smoothly into the kingdom of Love. Without this preconceived idea of love, people would be acting like a blind person searching for the light with thousand of obstacles in front of him.
Love happens when you least expect it. It can happen on the street corner, at the bar, at the grocery store, the park. That’s one of the greatest things about love. As for me I found love in the pouring down rain in the middle of the street. I fell in love with a man who I never thought in a million years I’d fall for. A man who is loving, caring and respectful. The night I laid my eyes on him I knew he was it. He came into my life at a point when I was unraveling and losing control. I was lost for two years after my high school sweetheart and I broke up, I thought I was never going to find real love, but I did. He saved me and I remember every minute from that night.
