I Think Too Much

I love unconditionally. I get hurt, and then I grow and love even more deeply, for many who hurt others are in need of love. Sadly, it's self love that most are lacking. Because I have so much love to give, I give it to many.

The problem occurs when someone gives all of their love to a single person, or very select few, who does not reciprocate. That is a parasitic relationship. The key to love is to give to as many as possible, thus not getting sucked into the disappointing and erroneous expectations of receiving something in return that is seen in those fairy tales. Giving to one person places a lot of pressure and dependency on someone who may not, and most-likely, hasn't the ability to handle it. Thus, I say we should teach to love openly and freely all who walk across our paths, for in the heart of those who harm us, there is always a lack of love. <3

It is our own expectations not people that disappoint us when people don't react how we expect them to. Lack of love, kindness, and compassion is what is making people not know how to love unconditionally. I feel compassion for those who cannot love because they were not taught, they were harmed themselves. I have no expectations, even if I am hurt, I love anyway because for me I would rather flow like water through life than become hard like stone.

I think its ok to tell little girls stories. But as they change into young women, and women, then a parent should speak to their daughter more realistically about how relationships are hard and prepare to have your heart broken perhaps a few times before you find true love

We all have that hope as a child. Girls and guys but you see I know what the problem is.

A guy meets girl and wants to give her the world, the girl turns out to a b*tch and is using him. Then the guy is heartbroken and thinks all girls are like that, so he need to be a bit of a d*ck and not commit so much. The same guy meets a nice girl who believes in fairytale ending and the guys ends up using the girl. She then thinks all guys are the same and that fairytale ending are not possible, so she turns into a bit of a b*tch and meets a nice guy.....

So you see it's a vicious cycle. :(

Agree, stories like beauty and the beast send the wrong message to girls, that inside the bad boys is a caring, good man. Guess what, there isn't.

it's harder to tell a story where the girl realizes the good guy who was always there is going to be a good guy, and the bad boy will always be a bad boy. But it's a message that needs to get out more.

Love and respect should always be taught to children. Love and respect for them selves will go a long way in curbing the emotional challenges of making wrong choices because they lacked self esteem to pick a person worthy of their life and interest!

Only a tiny tiny fraction of the world knows unconditional love and true love. Unfortunately EVERYONE thinks is for them and they go and marry blindly..
