Then one day…

I just gave up. The autopilot took over. And love became something I can only imagine. And I metered my love for others in the world. Loving only to a fraction of what I was willing to give. The magic died and I learned to live like others live. Waiting for the end.

I am asking how you quantify something that is not linear, not physical, and cannot be quantified. Perhaps my question should be, HOW DO YOU YOURSELF SPECIFICALLY DECIDE SOMEONE LOVES YOU? Perhaps an even better question is what is love in the first place. Is it when you kill someone and bury them in your backyard just because you can't stand to be away from them? Is it an act of service? Is it a feeling am i a slave am i a robot?
@SW-User you don’t you never do but you don’t really have to it’s just a feeling that’s incomparable but while it’s yours you don’t control it they turn it off and on inside you. You can’t measure or control it some things just need no explanation and are unique in life.
@SW-User love is a power. It creates it blossoms it transforms. You don’t do nothing but bask in it. Anything else will shorten its existence. It’s gratitude that keeps it alive. Skeptical thinking kills it. The soul yerns to express itself. But not with words. When you can talk another one or understand their soul that’s love. Words there and definitions aren’t relevant.

@userfawkes1105 i thought love was a verb. something you do. an active choice. when you get married, you say things like for better or worse, til death do us part, etc. i think you're choosing words for the purpose of manipulating this.
@SW-User you can’t think love and you can’t do love. It just happens on its own.
SW-User
@userfawkes1105 Didn't you have to think it to post that?
@SW-User nope I posted what I felt love just flows it is not logical.
SW-User
@userfawkes1105 yes you can. when loving or making love you are engaged in and doing it.
SW-User
@userfawkes1105 You obviously had to think the word love, or verb love, inorDER to put the verb love in the post.
SW-User
@userfawkes1105 I have to disagree. It is perhaps not always logical, but love, again, cannot be quantified, and thereFOrE, does not have just one definition.
@SW-User there’s diferente ways of loving. Some is unconditional some is not everything in between is individual perception of its definition I suppose. The ultimate one being unconditional if u must have a meter unless u have experience greater but then you wouldn’t need my metrics you would have your own defined meter. And if you did you wouldnt need the definition to begin with. Unless you have anything in that regards to share?

@userfawkes1105 by using the word, wort, or verb loving you've proven how flawed your argument is and was immediately. how could you be loving if love is not an act(en), or choice? Please ignore the parentheses.
SW-User
@userfawkes1105 by creating, or making love, like with your hands, you are doing love. it is an act(ian), that comes from your heart. Again, please ignore the parentheses i will not fucking bow out.
@SW-User because the person brings it out of you you don’t control it. I’d call it a mode not a choice like a mode you have to operate in if u must limit it to a verb sure. But it’s not an action I. The sense you have control on it. It just happens.
SW-User
@userfawkes1105 kommmitment is a choice. eventually, youll get mad or hurt and say or do something the other person may not call love. Does that then mean that you didn't love then or perhaps a better way to say it, that person? I didn't limit it to a word, or verb. I said that love doesn't have one single definition.
@SW-User love fills the heart not the ego. When you love unconditionally you don’t hurt. You understand it’s your purpose and path to love them above your own ego.
