Is Love Complex or Simple?
Many people say that life is complex. Such a vast world. So many people. So much we don’t know. So much science behind everything. Others say that life is simple. It’s a small world after all. We're pretty much all the same. We’re the ones who try to make it complex.
What I’m curious to know is about your thoughts on one aspect of life: love. Do you believe that love is complicated, with so many possible contradictions, so many layers and types of feelings...or is it something rather simple that humans make complicated?

It's both.
Love, the emotion itself, is simple.
Love applied to life can become complex, because humans rarely experience emotions individually.It is the most complicated thing. There is nothing more complicated and more desirable.
@unabridgedtales@xanga - I agree.
I think love is simple. People make it more complicated than it needs to be.
Everything is complicated.
complicated.
if you look deeper into anything, even the simplest thing is complicated....
don't search too deep if you want things to be simple, it really depends on how complicated you want things to be. sometimes u can help it sometimes u cant.
don't worry bout it, its complicated stuff.
it's us that gets complicated, not love. we only see what we think. if we think that everything is complicated in the world, everything then becomes complicated even if the nature of the object is indeed very simple. it's just like whether we see a glass of water as either half full or half empty.
love indeed is very simple. there's no way to be any happier than to be with the one you love. regardless of how swiftly the world constantly changes, it shouldn't matter what you do with your significant other. as long as the both of you can love with the most genuine heart, love will continue to be simple.
Simple.
Too many people draw themselves out and look at the big picture too much, than seeing what can be the straight and narrow. Life is simple if you just stick to a path and flow with it, and love can do the same. Too many look at every single variable they can, and decide "They can work, but this wont work; I can accept this until they do it too much". Et Cetera.
Love is the best paraphrase within itself in the world; You can split it up into a full essay of nonsense to define it and the "nature of the beast", but in the end you just make clutter, put it back together. It's just love!
i think that....
love ( if you know what it REALLY is ) is not complicated.
but its when you confuse love for other feelings, is when it gets complicated ya know?
love is simple. that's why the saying goes that fools fall in love.
I think it's a simple thing, but we make it difficult.. Most people dont really see what's infront of them and search for better things and overlook the most important thing
i think it depends on how you look at it. love gets a lot more hype, but i think any emotion could be either simple or complicated, depending on the context.
@unabridgedtales@xanga - oh, look, it's the girl who both blocked me and took me off her friend's list, as I reasoned on her speculative essay, is now making statements. You are defining everything as is or isn't. Just get out Boole because he did it first. And you aren't invited to my birthday party this year either :P
To you and this girl,
Yes, love applied to situations is complex as life is complex. To be in love is different from feeling love, making love and loving someone. Matured love is different from youthful love and above all, love must be separated from lust.
Love at its purest form is simple. But in this world we live in today, with so much going on, it's nearly impossible to keep it at that simple form. It often gets complicated, more complicated than it should be. That's why it's best to keep love as simple as possible.
i think it is very simple. it just means you care about someone more than you do about yourself. thats it.
it can make people do crazy things and get into complicated situations, but love is VERY simple@unabridgedtales@xanga - Well said!
SIMPLE,
but people make it complicated
@Shy___Away@xanga - @wideopenskies@xanga - Thank you. ^_^
As simple or complicated as you wish to make it.
it's really simple but we make it so complicated because we are constantly digging deeper to define everything when it's right in front of us and it's simple.
It's complicated, but only because life is complicated.
Love is never just simple. No two people are perfect as individuals or together. No relationship is every completely perfect. There is always something, whether minor or major to argue over or disagree upon at least. Two people might "complete" each other but nothing is ever 'peachy perfect'. It is easier to be depressed while happiness must be worked for. In order for a relationship to work, sacrifices and compromises must be made to satisfy one another.
And what about long distance relationships? They’re never easy... but if it were to work, one or both must make sacrifices.
the feeling love is simple. you either love someone or you don't.
the actual being together part is what's complicated because you can only be sure of what you're doing and how you feel.
Maybe it's simple, but since we tend to think there's got to be more to it than just this, we complicate it for ourselves. Or maybe it's complicated and we try to say that it's actually simple because that would make life seem easier.
On another note, I'm laughing at how the 'question mark' in the photo at the top of the post resembles balls/penis.
