what love is?


Researchers (Hatfield & Rapson, 1995) have broken up love into two main types:

  • Passionate love which involves continuously thinking about the loved one and also involves warm sexual feelings and powerful emotional reactions.
  • Companionate love is having trusting and tender feelings for someone who is close to you.

Now one of the best known theories of love (which means an educated guess that isn't proven fact) is Robert Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love.

The three components of the Triangular Theory of Love are:

Passion, the feeling physically aroused and attracted to someone.

Passion is what makes you feel "in love" and is the feeling most associated with love. It also rises quickly and strongly influences and biases your judgment.

Intimacy, the feeling close and connected to someone (developed through sharing and very good communications over time).

Intimacy is what makes you want to share and offer emotional and material support to each other.

Commitment, pledging to your self and each other to strengthen the feelings of love and to actively maintain the relationship.

Commitment is what makes you want to be serious, have a serious relationship and promise to be there for the other person if things get tough.

Now Sternberg also uses his Triangular Theory of Love to answer some of the most commonly asked questions about love:

Is there love at first sight?

This is when we are overwhelmed by passion, without any intimacy or commitment (both of which take time). Sternberg calls this infatuated love, Because there is not intimacy or commitment, infatuated love is fated to fade away.

Why do some people get married after being in love for a very short time?

This is a combination of passion and commitment, but without any intimacy. Sternberg calls this Hollywood love. This is where two people make a commitment to each other based on their passion. Unless intimacy develops over time, this relationship most likely will end.

Can their be love without sex?

Ah yes, companionate love, where intimacy and commitment are present without any sexual passion.

Why doesn't romantic love last?

Passion and intimacy without commitment is Romantic love. When the passion fades, and the intimacy wanes, the relationship ends.

This a close friend sent me e-mail:

Infatuation vs. Love

Infatuation is instant desire - one set of glands calling to another.

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time.

Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.

Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by their presence, even when they are away. Miles do not separate you. You have so many wonderful little films in your head that you keep replaying. But near or far, you know they are yours, and you can wait.

Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing them."

Love says, "Be patient. Don't panic. Plan your future with confidence."

Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. Whenever you are together, you hope it will end in intimacy.

Love is not based on sex. It is the maturation of friendship, which makes sex so much sweeter. You must be friends before you can be lovers.

Infatuation lacks confidence. When they're away, you wonder if they're cheating. Sometimes, you check.

Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened. They feel your trust, and it makes them even more trustworthy.

Infatuation might lead you to do things you will regret, but love never steers you in the wrong direction.

Love is an upper. It makes you feel whole. It completes the circle. It fills the empty space in your heart. Love is elevating. It lifts you up. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before. If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things you don't have. If there is no love in your life, whatever else there is has a lot less meaning.

The secret of our being is not only to live but to have something to live for.

右手边

静静地坐在你的身边
还会有多少这样的时间
我要迎着这窗外的光线
牢牢的记住你微笑的侧脸
我说了离别不会伤悲
这是我对你唯一的欺骗
因为我最喜欢你的双眼
那么美 不适合掉眼泪

你要好好的去飞 不需要对我想念
我会默默地留下右手边的座位
有一天 当你看过世界
再决定你降落的地点
而我也会继续地 奔驰在这长长的街
左手边是我的心 右手边没有谁
为了你再寂寞我都可以成全
因为我相信 说过了再见
一定会再见

大智慧

绿灯时我们总是第一个

有一个人搭了辆计程车到一个郊区不大熟悉的地方。

一路上,他和司机有说有笑。但不知为什么,一路上连续遇到五六个红灯。眼看快到达了路口,又碰到了一个红灯。这个人随口嘟哝着:“真倒楣!一路都碰到红灯,就是差那一步。”

司机转过头,露出一个很自信的笑容:“不倒楣!上帝很公平,绿灯时我们总是第一个走!”


大智慧。。。

你的人生旅途,可以看见红灯也可以看见绿灯。红灯是让我们停下来思考和欣赏的,人生旅途并不是一味的往前冲。红灯是可以驻足观赏,绿灯时可以一如既往,人生旅途,应如此面对。




失窃以后


富兰克林
. 罗 斯福曾任美国第三十二任总统。有一天家里遭小偷,被偷去很多东西。他的朋友写信安慰他。罗斯福也给朋友写了一封回信:“亲爱的朋友,谢谢你来信安慰我,我 现在很平安,感谢上帝。因为:第一,贼偷去的不是我的生命;第二,贼只偷去我部分东西,而不是全部;第三,最值得庆幸的是,做贼的是他,而不是我。”

大智慧。。。

重要的不是情况糟糕不糟糕,而是你的心态和看事物的角度是好或不好。有时学点阿
Q 精神,就会海阔天空。



开错了窗户


一个小女孩趴在窗台上,看窗外的人正在埋葬她心爱的小狗,不禁泪流满面,悲恸不已。她的外祖父见状,连忙引她到另一个窗口,让她欣赏他的玫瑰花园。果然,一扫小女孩之前的愁云,心中顿时开朗。老人说:“孩子,你开错了窗户。”


大智慧。。。

生活也是如此,我们也是常开错“窗”
,一旦看到了悲伤的一幕便久久沉积心底,无法排遣,甚至成为一生的累赘。我们从来不会想到,应该还有另外一扇窗,窗外的风景如画。

关系,乱了




















为何在这条道路上,总是跌跌撞撞
坎坷的路,依然要往前
因为日子仍然要过

如果明天将要离别这世界
您会有什么遗憾?

许多事情我们无法预料,也无法做决定
世界上,能够相遇,已经难得
能够知心,不是更难得,更应该珍惜?

那....哪个才是该选择的?
当快乐跟痛楚混在一起,那是快乐还是痛?
要放弃它们,会可惜吗?
‘若无其事’是解决问题的良药?
‘逃避’是解决问题的方法?

或许快乐和痛楚也只不过是一线之差
站得远,看得比较阔

ps:多么希望我们可以坦诚相对,至少大家不会挂着问号和猜疑。

两种老公 两种人生‏

A:她:老公。帮我接杯水呗。
他:石头剪子布。谁输了谁去。
她:算了。我自己去吧。

B:
他们坐在一起看韩剧。她起身。他问干吗去?
她:去接杯水。
他:你坐这看吧。我去给你接。

女人多可怜。她对男人唯一的要求就是疼她。你可以什么都没有。只要你疼她。她就有足够的勇气把自己的下半辈子交给你。
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A:
他晚上下班。给她打电话宝贝儿。我晚上和朋友出去吃饭。
她:你不是答应我陪我逛街的吗?
他:改天吧!
她默默地流泪。为什么每次都是这样?

B:
他下班的时候打电话给她:“亲爱的。别人给我一张奥运会的票。巴西队啊!一会儿我去

看球了啊。
她:哦。这样啊。好吧。
他:怎么不高兴了?
她:你忘了。上周说好今天我朋友和她男朋友请我俩吃饭啊。
他:哎呀。对不起亲爱的。我忘记了。那我把票给别人吧。我陪你去吃饭。
她:不要了。吃饭可以改天。或者你先去看。我们等你。
他:那不行。答应你的事情必须得做到。再说你自己跟他俩在一起像电灯泡似的。你肯定不舒服啊
她:没事……”

没等她说完。他很强势的告诉她好了。听我的。你收拾一下。我一会儿去接你。
其实女人不是不懂事。只是。她需要碰上一个懂事的男人。其实。情侣之间。是可以互相的。

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A:
他:我晚上出去吃饭了啊。
她:几点回家?
他:九点之前肯定回家。
九点半,她:你怎么还不回来啊?
他:十点。肯定回家。
十一点。十二点。一点。两点……
后来。她不再打电话催他。因为她知道。对于不守承诺的男人。一切肯定都是未必

B:
他:我晚上出去吃饭。九点之前肯定结束。然后我俩去看电影。
她:你能那么快就结束吗?
他:放心吧。我答应你了就一定能!
快到九点的时候。他:收拾一下吧。我马上就到你家了

信任。是在一件一件小事中建立起来的。
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A:
她生理期。身体不舒服。顶着疼痛洗衣服。收拾屋子。
他坐在电脑前面玩网络游戏。
她干完活。躺在床上。长出了一口气。
他看了她一眼:宝贝儿。辛苦了!然后转过头。继续玩他的游戏。

B:
她生理期。很难受。起身准备洗衣服。
他拽住她:你去床上躺着。我来!
她:你会做家务吗?你自己洗过衣服吗?
他:不会做可以学着做啊。以后你身体不舒服的时候。我当然得独挡一面!

女人需要的不只是甜言蜜语。哄她几句。她也许会给你一个微笑。但是实实在在的呵护。她会对你一辈子的感恩。并且会回报给你一个温暖的家。
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
A:
她给他拿了一包榛子。然后她去洗衣服。
回来的时候。榛子已经被他吃得所剩无几。

B:
她拿给他一包榛子。然后自己去收拾屋子。
回来的时候。她看见电脑前面放了一堆剥好的榛子仁。

女人很感性。她炫耀你对她的体贴。就好像炫耀克拉钻一样。这么廉价的买卖。用一点心思就能收获无比的财富。
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A:
他说:你是最好的。
她问:我哪好?
他:学历高。能力强。长得漂亮。对我又这么好。
她笑了。

B:
他:你是我所遇到最好的女孩儿。
她:我哪好?
他:你对身边的每个人都很友善。很无私。对人对生活总是很感恩。一个人有一颗善良的心。会让周围的人感觉到温暖。你是我见过最善良的女孩儿。伤害你的人都应该下地 狱!
她哭了。

一个人。是因为你对他好。所以觉得你好。
一个人。是因为懂得你的好。所以想要对你好。
幸福的恋人。首先应该是一对彼此欣赏的知己

when you miss someone

思念,苦也甜。想一个人,虽然枯涩酸楚, 但心里也会充满幸福的感觉,因为有人值得我们去思念。当你拥有思念,你就能在苦中品尝到只有自己能体会的甜。 如果心里连一个值得去思念的人都没有,那是多么的孤单平静,平静得可以让自己沉睡。。。

被一个人思念也是件幸福的事,因为有人心里装着我们。如果一个人在任何人的心里没有地位,没有人会在任何时间和地点把他记起、想起,那也挺可悲的。

最苦的思念就是你在苦苦地牵挂着对方,而对方不知道你在挂念着他。或者即使知道,却没有心动的感觉。单一的思念,与其让它折磨得你身心交瘁,不如在他背后悄悄地关心、默默祝福他。

但如果,在你傻傻思念对方的同时,他也在痴痴思念着你,两个大人变小孩,那当是人世间幸福无比的事情了。

有一种思念超越空间,却可以把脑海里的那个人看得清晰 -- 老花眼镜后眼角的皱纹,感觉她的呼吸、甚至她身上的体温。不管时空的距离,思念却越变浓厚。当双手无法去握及她的时候,思念却是他心灵上永远的拥有。

昨夜,我做了个梦
梦里,欣赏你那份勇气
现实,能够呈现吗?

Why do we need friends?


We need friends for many reasons,
all throughout the four seasons.

We need friends to comfort us when we are sad,
and to have fun with us when we are glad.

We need friends to give us good advice.
We need someone we can count on to treat us nice.

We need friends because we are social in nature
and having friends makes us feel secure.

We need friends to remember us once we have passed
sharing memories that will always last..

That's why I need YOU!

FRIENDSHIP DOESNT NEED EVERYDAY CONVERSATION, DOENST ALWAYS NEED TOGETHERNESS.
AS LONG AS THE RELATIONSHIP IS KEPT IN THE HEART, TRUE FRIENDS NEVER GO APART.


变脸

或许我确实是一个冲动派
有时候会为了自己已做了的决定后悔
如果要回忆过去...
我也怀念
但是...
或许大家立场不一样
打暗战,决不看好
万万想不到另一面的你---
是这样的
低估了
会变脸的人,是不是心机重?
做某事前,想过、量过、算过---其实是好呱!
有时人算不如天算,
往往算少了一些...

无题

白昼,摸索不到
黑夜,别说探索

地球,每天在转动
时间,一分一秒过
人,无时无刻在长大

思想~~也在变
我想了什么?
你又烦什么?
他又愁什么?

不能忍受了

想来想去,都不知该不该上来发愤一下
但....我还是想上来发泄发泄一下,哈哈...
以前,我听xxx本人告诉我说有某某人在背后中伤她
起初,xxx不打算告诉我详情,
但追问下,我还是知道了...

某某人说xxx跟别人交朋友是有目的的,
还说了她一些比较不好的东西
我起初只是听了就算,
毕竟不关我事嘛!

直至在数月前,
我开始觉得xxx真的是太过意想不到
觉得她一心一意想踩进我的圈子
1.之前知道我打算要搬,xxx问我几时会搬,以为出自关心,
原来....“等你搬走后我想搬进去。”
2.xxx:你可不可以给我那个人的msn?
我:Eh...(我是没怎么回应的)
xxx:如果你介意的话,那不用紧。
我:没有啦!我问下他咯!
xxx:ok!
随之是不了了事....
想不到xxx竟然在别的途径,翻我的profile找到了他,还自己add人
真的是够狼!!!
3.added了人都还不用紧,还要跟别人装熟,装可爱。(想吐)

还有比较琐碎的内容...

不知从何起,发现xxx比起以前,有一百八十度的转变:
1.从冷漠,变装可爱
2.的却发觉没有像以前那样,时不时给脸色人看
3.变得友善

或许种种的变化都是好事,但这不算很假吗?
越是改变自己,其实就越恐怖,太有心机了
冷漠其实不用紧,只要做回自己就好了。
原来某某人形容的xxx,是正确的。

唯独你是不可给取代

临睡前,我想起了你
钩起了许多以前的回忆
……
原来我们对彼此都感性过

你,就像是我的守护天使
:)
还记得吗?

i must admit that yes i was touched and wept on my way home after dropping you off. and yes Yiruma was playing at the background. :)

thank you for believing in me constantly, and thank you for just being there at the right time and the right place, after so many times. i strongly believe that our meet up was not a coincidence. and just the thought of you being there all the time, brings tears to my eyes.

i know you'll still be here. and as you know me, i'll double up my effort to ensure that you know i'm here for you, and always will be. God Bless you my soul mate. as we've promised, we're both gonna double up our efforts this coming year, the time to rest is over, and it's really time to strike again, remember, it's all in your mind. We are what we think we are.

much appreciated,

"感激遇到你"...
