How love expressed
Love is a strong beautiful feeling of affection towards someone. Love is something that has different meanings based on how different people view it. It is the base of friendship and harmony. Some people think love is purely romantic or even purely sexual, other say true and unconditional love only exists between family members or related people. Others say love is ever changing; it can be love for partners, objects, family and friends, or even fictional characters. None of them is wrong or right because love is a universal theme. Following various quotes from Nicholas Sparks in his novel, The Notebook, we can see that different generations, cultures or stages of life have their unique way of expressing love.
Love is a universal theme experienced by many people throughout the history, and every culture in the whole world. However, love displays itself differently because there has been found a significant impact of culture on people’s conception of love and the way they behave, think or feel in a relationship (Karandashev 3). Different cultures have their unique ways of expressing love. For example, woman from Japan gifts their loved ones with chocolates as a way of expressing their love. In European countries, people express their love using birds such as

Ancient generations had their unique understanding and way of expressing their love. They thought that love is working together and promoting harmony in order to bring change in the society. However today’s generation they relate love to romance and sex. Some date keeping in mind that they are not the first one to fall in love. In the way of expressing their love, they send romantic messages and love quotes full of compliments, “I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I’ve ever had” (Sparks
A History of Marriage by Stephanie Coontz speaks of the recent idealization of marriage based solely on love. Coontz doesn’t defame love, but touches on the many profound aspects that have created and bonded marriages through time. While love is still a large aspect Coontz wants us to see that a marriage needs more solid and less fickle aspects than just love. The first chapter begins with an exploration of love and marriage in many ancient and current cultures.
The indigenous Japanese culture, arts and literature have flourished in the Heian period of Japan. One can tell that exchanging short poems and messages between each other was the most prominent device of communication for both men and women at the time. Composing and exchanging love poems and messages were mostly us...
Love and affection is an indispensable part of human life. In different culture love may appear differently. In the poem “My god my lotus” lovers responded to each other differently than in the poem “Fishhawk”. Likewise, the presentation of female sexuality, gender disparity and presentation of love were shown inversely in these two poems. Some may argue that love in the past was not as same as love in present. However, we can still find some lovers who are staying with their partners just to maintain the relationship. We may also find some lovers having relationship only because of self-interest. However, a love relationship should always be out of self-interest and must be based on mutual interest. A love usually obtains its perfectness when it develops from both partners equally and with same affection.
Throughout the postclassical era, there were many approaches to the idea of love and to the sanctification of love. While some people focused on love as merely a sign of infatuation, others used it as a means of attaining spiritual closeness, and a way of sexual gratification. The countries of Europe, India and Japan proved to be no different. With an emphasis on courtly love, Medieval Europe defined love by romantic gestures and refraining from intercourse, while India defined love in terms of a sexual and spiritual connection and Japan defined love as a means of acting upon desire in an elegant fashion. These vastly different meanings of love were reflected in marriages and gender relations of the era.
There are thousands of meanings that the word “love” carries. There are different significances, different ways of expressing it and different ways it can be interpreted throughout various countries. For example, it could mean a feeling of deep affection, it could mean a deep or sexual attachment to someone, and it could also mean to have a great interest in something. These variations surrounding this single word can be apparent in Anne Hebert’s Kamouraska, and Alice Munro’s Progress of Love. Both of these authors take this one word, “love,” and describe it in ways that are significant to them, their lives, and the place in which they are from. Every single person perceives love as something different, which is why there are thousands of meanings
Love is a strong emotion that you can have for anyone or anything. If you love them you can find a way to show them. In some places, love doesn't even exist, because of the environment. This paper will show why love is the main theme of looking at love between family, love between friends, and love is greater than hate.
Love is a concept that has puzzled humanity for centuries. This attachment of one human being to another, not seen as intensely in other organisms, is something people just cannot wrap their heads around easily. So, in an effort to understand, people write their thoughts down. Stories of love, theories of love, memories of love; they all help us come closer to better knowing this emotional bond. One writer in particular, Sei Shōnagon, explains two types of lovers in her essay "A Lover’s Departure": the good and the bad.
It is the oldest of the stories in the books, boy meets girl, and they fall in love and live happily ever after. Yet, times have changed and with the progress of society so has our story. These days, romantic comedies have modified the meaning of love. Instead of the usual fairy tale story, they have introduced to us love that cannot only overcome everything but also help us find who we truly are.
Love is arguably the most powerful emotion possessed by mankind; it is the impalpable bond that allows individuals to connect and understand one another. Pure love is directly related to divinity. Without love, happiness and prosperity become unreachable goals. An individual that possesses all the desired superficial objects in the world stands alone without the presence of love. For centuries love has been marveled by all that dare encounter it. Countless books and poems have been transcribed to explain the phenomenon of love, but love surpasses all intellectual explanations and discussions. Love is not a definition, but rather a thought, an idea. This idea, the idea of love, burns inside us all. Instinctually, every soul on Earth is
Love is not simple or easy. The kind of love that will last over time and overcome each obstacle it brings is actually a fair amount of work. In the film Valentine’s Day there are all different kinds of love and some of them thrive while others fail by the end of the day. All these different relationships present an opportunity to analyze how different aspects of communication help people find love and make it last.
The Symposium, The Aeneid, and Confessions help demonstrate how the nature of love can be found in several places, whether it is in the mind, the body or the soul. These texts also provide with eye-opening views of love as they adjust our understanding of what love really is. By giving us reformed spectrum of love, one is able to engage in introspective thinking and determine if the things we love are truly worthy of our sentiment.
book “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman, the author writes about the importance of communicating with your spouse in a language that fulfills their love tank. Throughout the book he uses real life scenarios in couples to help them examine what their primary love language is through various acts and experiments. Love and marriage are the primary topics of the book, and the author illustrates how to understand their construction, and how they function in society. Love is needed in all areas to fulfill the needs of a human and to succeed in marriage. Society plays a big role in ideal marriages and how it should be based on the defined responsibilities and rights of husbands and wives.
The word “love” has always caught attention with its meanings. There have been many definitions used for this word throughout history, beginning with its start during the ninth century. With the examples of current use(from Urban Dictionary, Twitter, a student survey, a song, and a film) it is obvious that the definition of this word has been lost in translation in many different ways. Looking closely at the synonyms, along with the history and current use, the true definition is clearly seen through a usual worldly haze.
Many people have different perspectives when it comes to the topic of love. The word love has been tossed around by everybody and not very many people really understand the true meaning of love. There are some exceptions, but I think this is especially true for teenagers and young adults. I might be one of those people who do not fully understand the topic of love, but I hope to better understand the topic of love and its true meaning is this course.
Love is one of those things that means different things to different people. If you would look the word love up in the dictionary, you would find this: “an intense feeling of deep affection.” For some people, love can be purely romantic or even just purely sexual. For others, real love can only exist between family members or between people and a god. For some people, it is felt for your partners, family, pets, or even inanimate objects. None of the people are right or wrong, but I do know one thing, love is very powerful. Love is overused in today's world, people say they love someone because of the way they look or their body. That isn't love. To me, love is the most spectacular, indescribable, deep euphoric
