Limited Love
"Your love for her is limited, for you love only if you can be with her. If you really love her, you will love even if you know you can't be with her."
My Thoughts:
The above was the statement made by one of the characters in the TV movie I watched this evening. It made me pondered much though I have not been thinking about such topic for quite a while. It sounded very profound to me.
Isn't that true for most people, especially for guys, that when they can't be with the one they claimed to love they will stop loving after some time? *sigh*
Other than Jesus Christ, I have not come across someone who has unlimited love for the one he claims to love. Time shows up many false claims.

I agree with it. Love is not some transitory feeling but a permanent state of concern and affection for the other.
I tihnk most people do not experience love, just a good feeling.
love is freedom...love is big and spacious....no limits..

Hi Richard & G,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Don't mind I ask if any of you have ever had unlimited love for someone? That means, even though you can't be with that person for whatever reason you still love her in actions?
If the guy would continue the undying love for that girl... If you were that girl, would you prefer he would love you like that, or would you prefer him to let go?
It seems romantic and beautiful in stories and movies. But in reality, it is pathetic and ugly. Many would see the guy as sick. The girl would detest and hate it.
letting go and sometimes saying that he no longer loves her, is actually a way of loving her. You should respect and admire the guy more, because it never easy to really let go.
My kids would be my purest example of my experience of unlimited love.
Of course, there is also Sofia, who is my other half. I loved her before I ever knew her and remained faithful to her to her always.
David,
For the one being loved, he/she can choose whether to be loved. For the one that is loving, if that love is unlimited it goes on regardless....
Richard,
Glad to know you love your family. Will you continue to love them, if one day you can't be with them anymore for whatever reason?
Of course. Love is eternal, love never dies.
My ability to be close to a person may change, but my love cannot end. It endures.
Unfortunately, modern culture (and let us be honest, ancient culture too), takes lust and wraps it up and parades it around as love.
Love is more than a feeling, a buzz or a high. I cannot describe it as anything other than love - a combination of unselfish caring and commitment for another.
No matter what happens, it does not end. If it did not endure, then it was not love.
1 Corinthians 13 is the measurement for unlimited love. It's hard to find many who could have unlimited love for another.
Glad that you could do it for your family, Richard. :)
I may not be able to win your heart, but I will always be by your side when you need me. Is that "unlimited love"?
erm.... more time to tell ;)
