In your opinion, does love conquer all?

No, it doesn’t. There are circumstances in life when love is not enough.

@CookieCrumbs tell me about it!

@Rilyn i didn't mean it like that
What I meant was
You can't expect someone to keep or stay loving you without putting in the effort

Rilyn · 31-35, F

@antonioioio rofl. Haha. Im not even responding to this. Love sometimes just isn't enough. No matter how much you've tried

antonioioio · 70-79, M

@Rilyn I'm 100% in agreement with you.
Of course its not enough

Love in the worldy mainstream sense? No. Love in a more all encompassing spiritual sense? Probably.

If other feelings aren't stronger yes..
Selfishness can be stronger.
Fear can be stronger.

@SW-User Love must be pretty weak, then!

SW-User

@GeistInTheMachine I think that people get scared of it or just feel too comfortable and want everything easy... That's when it becomes weak. But in others it's way to strong and can ruin people's life

@SW-User Perhaps the Human ego taints love, or at least distorts our expression and internalization of love.

nope. money does though

antonioioio · 70-79, M

@akindheart when money goes out the door
Love goes out the window

akindheart · 61-69, F

@antonioioio love follows the money out the door.

In theistic language, from the writings of the great Christian mystic Julian of Norwich, from her "Revelations of Divine Love":-

I was answered in spiritual understanding, and it was said: What, do you wish to know your Lord’s meaning in this thing? Know it well, love was his meaning. Who reveals it to you? Love. What did he reveal you? Love. Why does he reveal it to you? For Love…. So I was taught that love is our Lord’s meaning.

And as Meister Eckhart has said:- "Love has no why"

Thomas Merton has spoken of the hidden ground of love

Yes, well hidden at times, yet such is my own faith. Self-surrender to love.

SW-User

@fakable Did you ever see the Blackadder WW1 episode with the firing squad? Hilarious.

Yes, I do like lollipops but prefer cornets.

All the best

Love conquers all but it does not always conquer.

Busybee333 · 31-35, F

Yes, if you allow.

All relationships require work, but sometimes there are problems such as incompatibility that cannot be fixed, even with the best intentions. In reality, love cannot conquer all no matter how hard you try.
