By entering in...Love itself is a power all its own. By entering into, or having a relationship with someone, you are opening yourself up to many new experiences and life changes. Love itself “makes a clown gentle and gives a coward a heart.” I think what Ralph Waldo Emerson means by this is that love has an intense power: The powers that love has bestowed upon you never leaves, it will always be there, and you can feel its presence.<br /><br />Love isn’t something that just stops like the end of a song. The feeling of love stays with you thought the ups and downs of life. Just the feeling of love brings up the thought of marriage and the feeling of permanence. Love can open up someone’s imagination and they will begin to experience new and interesting things.<br /><br />Once someone is seen portraying love, we no longer see him or her as strangers. “We understand them” whether it is an eighty-year-old couple, or newly weds, love has no age. There is a youthful passion that you can see within a relationship even though we are told to test the waters or take our relationships slow. Love has no time limit, if we are in love and that is that-there is no going back. <br /><br />Young love is sometimes the most pure and amazing of relationships, where you have a love that is tender and rare. Sometimes it can be one of the more mature relationships because you aren’t as worrisome. <br /><br />Young love is also less complicated. I know this because I am one of those young loves. I know that this love it true and pure. There is this young passion that you have, and it is amazing the way it makes you feel. By being in love you can say it whenever you first feel it. Sometimes when you are in an older relationship you might not say you love that person right away because you are wondering “If I love you, what is that to you?” When you fall in love at a young age you know that person’s faults and you grow to love them. But in an older relationship, those faults might aggravate or annoy you because since you are still looking for that one true love you now want it to be a perfect love, but what you don’t see is no one is perfect.<br /><br />Someone might think that to have a picture perfect love, the couple has to look picture perfect. That is not always the case. Physical beauty is the first thing some people notice. But you can’t always depend on physical beauty. Emerson states “…Body being unable to fulfill the promise which beauty holds out;” If we look only for physical beauty and not love, then that is most likely what your relationship will be based on. If it were me, I would rather have a relationship based on my love for that person, not how they might look.<br /><br />First loves are something that never leave your mind. I know that in my life I will never forget my first love. I will remember it forever. I will most likely use it to compare it to my next relationships, but I know that I will never have this same relationship ever again. That is the amazing power that love has. Love it very unique, it can never de duplicated or repeated. <br /><br />When you are with the person that you are in love with, you want to be with that person everyday for the rest of your life. That is what true love is. It is the passion and affection you feel for another person that should not be tampered with. Someone from the outside can’t tell you if you love or don’t love that person, only you and the one you’re in love with can. Emerson feels that it’s “ a private and tender relation of one to one. Which is the enchantment of human life.” <br /><br />We show love for people even at ages five and six. You can see little boys being mean to little girls on the playground. That is a form of love. We show it in all kinds of ways. They might look like enemies, but in true light, they have a secret love for one another. Love isn’t always as obvious as you might think. Young boys might say that it is difficult to see if a girl really is in love if they don’t say it. My first love said that if I didn’t tell him I love him everyday then he wouldn’t know for sure. I understood what he meant but then I realized I felt the same way, I had never thought about it in that way though. <br /><br />Emerson states, “no man ever forgot the visitations of that power to his heart and brain.” Love has an intense power. Its power makes a relationship out of nothing and makes it the most beautiful thing in the world. “That which is so beautiful and attractive as these relations must be succeeded and supplanted only by what is more beautiful, and so on for ever.” Love can be seen in many different ways, and what is rare about love is that no one can change it. There is not one person besides you and your one love that can stop your love for each other. The power of love is in your hands and you decide the fate of it. No one can change the power of one man’s love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
