Yea I think it is alright to give up on love, but can someone really do that? having an x husband, I think alot of women my age have said it. But do we really. Just when you least expect it a guy you did not plan on come along does and your breaking your little rule of giving up.
So I think as long as someone has hope for anything they can not truely give up on love.
Binding someone... so that they only feel love... hmmm... (evil horns pop up,hehe...)
Now there are some people who are so prone to anger that might not be such a bad idea. But I probably have not thought that through properly.
Giving up on love is a wall we put up to protect ourselves. Very few people can actually give up on it completely. In fact, I don't know anyone who can personally.
As LadyTessa said...someone usually comes along when you least expect it and brings their bulldozer. *coughcoughNodrkcoughcough*
Binding emotions? It can be done. You have to be veeeeeeeery jaded though lol ( she says from experience ). You get lonely though. That seems to be the one emotion that sticks when you get rid of the rest.
Not loneliness but emptiness... -_-
In either case, you can give up on love but love never gives up on you.. WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO hahahahaa...
binding people emotions does not last forever, so it is ok.. it all depends on if you really want to or not.. -_- you become apathetic... and tend to say things in a too rational form..plus life becomes boring.
Personally I feel that you can give up on love but like Vari said, it wont give up on you. I've given up on love but it seems like something always guides me to someone new. It gets annoying because it seems like the relationships never work out. In some way, i feel like a black widow because they always end sour. 2 of the people ended up giving up their life.(Please dont ask about it.)
Also, i dont think that binding all your emotions would be good. I would say that happiness, sadness, sorrow, anger and emotions like those help you get through somethings. Its not good to bind your emotions because they will make you feel empty. Lol if anything you should bind pain.
I tend to agree with the rest,life and love can become stale if we let it,both can beat you down ,or lift you up,but if its there for you you cant escape it!I know from experience that love cant be measxured by the amount of time you spent with somone ,but the quality of the time you spend!Not long ago I decided there was no real love there were only emotional attachment we called love.Fortunatly for me ssomone came along and HEALED..my way of thinking..peace
I dont know if youve made the connection,but I think the answer you are looking for has been given here already,SilverRain.The Healer82 and I were both at a point about to give up on love,and we both have the ability to bind love as well...Then Fate and chance through us together,and lets just say the last thing either of us wants to do now,is bind or give up on love...Peace
you can never give up on love, once you have felt it for someone you always will on some level, but sometimes, for your own health and life, you have to let go of it...
Detachment is a key element in buddhist teachings. It is, however, important to note that this detachment is meant for any emotion that may sway you from the middle path.
It is also important to understand "love". Without perfect compassion and understanding you can only share imperfect love. (I loosely use these words, perfect and imperfect.) If the love you share is causing you to teter from your path, then you should detach yourself from it, and see that it may not be what you thought it was. One can NOT give up on love, and love gives up on nobody.
"It is in this way we must train ourselves: by liberation of the self through love. We will develop love, we will practice it, we will make it both a way and a basis, take our stand upon it, store it up, and thouroughly set it going."
And more
"Putting down all barriers, let your mind be full of love. Let it pervade all the quarters of the world, so that the whole wide world, above, below, and around, is pervaded with love. Let it be sublime and beyond measure so that it abounds everywhere."
"The buddha was joined by his own son, Rahula, a young boy. He advised him; "cultivate, Rahula, a meditation on loving-kindness, for by cultivating loving-kindnesss, ill will is banished forever. Cultivate, too, a meditation on compassion, for by cultivating compassion, you will find harm and cruelty disappear."
"Happiness or sorrow, whatever befalls you, walk on untouched, unattached."
I implore you to take these things to heart and meditate on them. I'm not saying be a buddhist, but if more thoughts convened here, love and compassion would be allowed to come into fruition and be seen by them who have no path.
