True Love

Hmm...Well, was chatting with a couple of people, and somehow, this became the main topic.

"Do you think True Love exists?" (Between People)

From there, quite obviously, the conversation went two ways. The believers and the non-believers. And my answer to that question showed me how much my thinking had changed.

In the past, my answer would probably have been "YES! I believe that there is such a thing."

But perhaps that was never my honest opinion, right from the start.

However, what Jason and I said was this:

True Love does not exist. (SHOCK. I know some of you will be shocked that I had this reply. XP But wait. It goes deeper.)

Our reasoning was that since humans are imperfect, human love is flawed, and that true love needed to be flawless, so true love does not exist. Perhaps the only being that has true love is God. More on this later.

So then, the opposition (haha) YiLin and Elphin, said that True Love did not have to be flawless, as when both people in a relationship are able to believe in it, and imagine it, it will come true in the couple's heart eventually. In Elphin's words, "The definition of true love is only between the couple."

Well, it all rests on what your definition of True Love is right?

But I was honestly quite surprised with my answer at first. Yet it came out so naturally, and I think that this is what I honestly believe deep inside.

Not that I don't believe in Love. It's just that I think human love is limited to strong love, because of the weakness within the human heart. True Love comes ONLY from God, the one true perfect being, and the Trinity that forms God.

Catholic stuff. ^^

"For God so loved the world that he sent his only son to die for us."

Perhaps some might say, I can do that too! I'm willing to sacrifice my life for the one I love.

One CAN, however, look at it this way.

Perhaps the human mind can only understand so much, we are instead limiting the greater sacrifice behind that action, and the Love it took for that action to be carried out?

At the end of the day, it all lies on personal opinion doesn't it?

Ja' ne!
