Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get. Only what you are expecting to give — which is everything.
-Katherine Hepburn
Sometimes it is hard. But when the love you have for that person is for real, it is possible to just give and expect nothing in return. At least I believe it is. For me that is.
You?

HAHA!!! aijor~ told chu d, love is selfless. however, we beings what do we know about selfless??? we oni know how to sell fish ler…
xox
isn’t it sad that we don’t know what being selfless is all about? and even if you can be selfless, you may just be the only one who is? and that after the guy is tired of you, they move on to the next one?
oh well.
Yes, love may be about giving everything and expecting nothing in return. But if you really getting nothing in return, is the person you’re loving worth loving?
i totally get what u mean mindy. i did ask myself that question. i guess it always rolls back to how much u can take not getting anything in return, or not being acknowledged in the most appropriate ways. it’s all about how much limit one has. something which differs from u, me and any other girl.
but i guess if we still evaluate the worthiness of loving someone, is that still a form of selfless type of love?
唉！庸人自扰
For me, love is also just to give.
Even though the one is leaving me, I would think bless is another kind of love. I hope he to be happy, no matter if I’m the one to be with him or not. It seems silly but it’s the way for me to move on.
koo: what? it’s just a thought. but don’t u think it’s true?
michele: it’s not silly. i would have done the exact same thing. although it hurts, but sometimes, when u truly do love someone, it’s not about what u’re getting, but what he’s getting. right? *hugs*
only prophet or the likes are selfless. good normal human beings will work towards being selfless, coz normal human beings, by design, will always be self centered, with their own set of ‘needs’.
for me, i’m not going to kid myself on this. i’m still far away from that ‘enlightenment’ stage. tho i will try to ‘give give give’, i still have my needs.
your question is very easy to answer. its yes. but the real question is, are we ready to be selfless? have we fulfilled all of our emotional needs? are we emotionally strong enough to be one?
great topic. i like.
we should make it into a topic for discussion. after i’m done obsessing about me sea turtles.
