I am S.T.R.O.N.G. at UAP, Thoughts on Love

Jewelz shares...

There was an I am STRONG, 2-day seminar at UA&P where over a hundred students participated from different schools and different provinces. On their second day, one of the topics they discussed was about love. I found some quotes on love that I want to share. Take time to ponder each on each one.




Quote #1:


"Yes, it may be true you're not doing

things my way, yet I love you,

I honor the good in you,

and I want the best for you, just the same."



I like this quote because it does not try to change the other person and it respects the other person for who he or she is.

Quote #2:


"The love of a person implies not

the possession of that person,

but the affirmation

of that person

in all their uniqueness."



In this quote, material things are not important when it comes to love. What is highlighted is the person's individuality, being different from everyone else, and that's what makes him or her special.

Quote #3:


"Those whose perception of others is

unconditionally loving will receive

unconditional love,

enough for themselves

and to give to others."



This quote is similar, however, this time when we love unconditionally it means that we should not expect anything in return.

Quote #4:


"Everyone, at any given time,

is doing the very best they can with what they have.

When people learn better they do better."



We should seek to do what is good so we can better ourselves. We should do things that contribute to our own development. For example, in school we should study not for the sake of getting good grades but for ourselves. We apply the lessons we learn from our teachers, our classmates and our experiences. When we continuously apply the good things that we pick up, we form good habits that will make us more mature and a better person. As a better person, we can share what we know to others.
So aside from loving another person for who they are, we should also learn how to become a better person so that we can share our knowledge. These relationships do not only happen between men and women, but also with families and friends.

LOVE—to starry-eyed romantics it is a mysterious visitation that seizes you, a once-in-a-lifetime feeling of sheer ecstasy. Love, they believe, is strictly an affair of the heart, something that cannot be understood, just experienced. Love conquers all and lasts forever . . .

falling in love can be a uniquely beautiful experience. But just what is real love?

Infatuation is counterfeit love. It is unrealistic and self-centered. Infatuated persons have a tendency to say: ‘I really feel important when I’m with him. I can’t sleep. I can’t believe how fantastic this is’ or, ‘She really makes me feel good.

I went searching for him
I started to look everywhere I know
I walked in places that were so dim
Asking people that I dont even know

Anonymous said...

The streets looked so empty that night
Although I was standing in a crowd
The air was gone & I was breathing so tight
But I held myself and started screaming so loud

Anonymous said...

Suddenly I felt a slap on my face
Someone was shaking me to wake up
Thats when I realized that I lost his trace
Then my tears went falling drop by drop

Anonymous said...

I stood there wondering why he left
Why he walked away without a say
What did he mean with that last gift?
Is he gone? Or is he coming back someday

If you love someone, then tell them because

I tried 2 write a poem about u 4 the 10th time in my life

It will NEVER come close 2 reflecting how much I love u
It jus wont be
Good enough

Witnessing his smile
just makes her day
she quivers all over
when he says "hey"

keeping her hope alive
that they'll someday be
why can't he understand
he possesses her hearts key?

I mean something to you now
but what happened to the old days when i'd do anything to get your attention and you never noticed?
Why now when my heart needs to choose?

In love there is no permanent,all is quite temporary,so when things are at its best, always put in mind that it may only be borrowed,so that when the tym comes that we should return it,it wont take us eternity juz 2 let go.

There are times in our life that we get in love, it might cause us to be confused of the things that's happening around us, and when we love, we sometimes do things that is out of our league..:)

And, oh, how blessed is it thus to meet! To feel that vanished years have not estranged us, distance has not diminished love, that we are to each other even as we parted; to feel again the fond kiss, to hear once more the accents of a voice which to us has been for years so still,--a voice that brings with it the gush of memory! Past days flit before us; feelings, thoughts, hopes, we deemed were dead, all rise again, summoned by that secret witchery, the well-remembered though long silent voice. Let years, long, lingering, saddening years drag on their chain, let youth have given place to manhood, manhood to age, still will it be the same--the voice we once have loved, and deemed to us for ever still--oh, time, and grief, and blighted hope will be forgotten, and youth, in its undimmed and joyous beauty, its glow of generous feelings, its bright anticipations, all, all again be ours.

Are you ready to cut off your head and place your foot on it? If so, come; Love awaits you!

Do you hesitate? 0 miser, It is cheap at that price!"

Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock.

Anonymous said...

The opposite of love is not to hate but to separate. If love and hate have something in common it is because, in both cases, their energy is that of bringing and holding together—the lover with the loved, the one who hates with the hated. Both passions are tested by separation.
