What has love taught you?

I have never been in Love yet, I have a Crush on someone, but I am yet to experience Love

 

Everyone is beautiful in their own way... I guess that's one thing we all know.

It's turned me human and it has taught me that I have emotions so do others around me.

It's also showed me how sad and alone I am, and it's turned me around into a person who always tries to be there for others so they won't have to feel the same.

It's also taught me to accept the way things are. And enjoy their beauty.

 

love has taught me to be yourself not someone you wish you could be .

 

I've never been in love, but I've unintentionally messed with someone's feelings before while I was still confused/in denial. I guess that you can say that what love has taught me is that it's nothing to mess with, it's sacred and it should be respected.

 

- That yes, I do have human emotions, and yes, I can be happy and hurting like the rest of them

- It's not a crush, or being turned on, but the state when you can say, "This is who you are, and I accept that," regardless of circumstances

- Love will be the greatest thing to happen to you, and the worst thing, too

- Sometimes, it takes another person to get to know yourself better than you already do

- Definitely one of those things you have to experience to truly understand

Love teaches you to accept people for who they are and not what they are, embrace our differences and above all, love teaches us to be open minded to learning more

 

I'm actually kind of confused on what you mean. Are you asking "what has being in love with someone taught you" or are you asking "What has the concept of love taught you" or "what have the things we've discussed that have revolved around love taught you" or something else?

 

Love has taught me that the rarest things are those to be most treasured.

 

Love has taught me that self-righteousness will get you absolutely nowhere, and that patience is indeed a virtue.

 

What do you mean by self righteousness? Non native English speaker here

 

Love has taught me a lot. I learned that I have to love myself and that even though being able to depend on each other is important, being codependent is not healthy. It's a commitment, but it's important to have your own lives, too. It's important to acknowledge your partner as their own person.

Also, as I've been trying to convince my sister, marriage will not solve any problems. It's a lot of hard work. It's not a surefire way to prevent loneliness. It doesn't secure your happiness. There's nothing better than a great marriage, but there's nothing worse than a bad one. It's not worth it unless you're making this commitment with the right person.

 

Self-Righteousness: Confident of one's own righteousness, especially when smugly moralistic and intolerant of the opinions and behavior of others.

Basically...any kind of unreasonably strong belief that your opinion, feelings, or beliefs matter more than anyone else's.

 

That no matter how much I chase it, it will always elude me.

 

It teaches me to care more about others. We appreciate inner-beauty more. However, it also teaches me that I get stupid.

 

That love is give and take- only works if all involved parties are willing to put in as much as they get from the relationship. Takes time, understanding, and respect.
