No matter what someone is no matter who they were, if you love someone, you can change them. Love, has such restorative properties. Some day I would not be surprised if the scientists discovered Love's properties. I am serious! What do you think about this topic?
Love can change anyone..If loved correctly..not through monetary things... Love is good..But has to
be shown consistently...Who doesn't love to be loved...But one must always be humbled by love.
It certainly can but I don’t think you should use it to change someone only help them with their
own changes brought about from a different perspective.
I am sure it can be measured, could be akin to happiness and contentment.
People do modify there behavior and even change their own beliefs and points of view.
Not sure about scientists discovering Love's properties? Love is purely a physical and emotional
branch of science between two people. A union of two minds, two bodies, two characters, which is
bound to have a major changing effect on all concerned.
Love is an emotion you feel towards someone else if you love someone you should not want them to
change you cannot i don't believe you love someone with the hope of changing them otherwise you
don't really love them some people need love to bring out the better in them some ppl lack love and
do stupid things to try to gain affection but simply loving someone would not change them. For
example Hitler, his characteristics of a dictator would have been more likely surely to change the
people he loved rather than change him, you could say love brings out different sides to a person
but a personality is a personality we are our past our present and our future we do not change we
grow! To suggest love can cure evil as suggested in the hitler example is some what a bizzare
suggestion as it was hitlers strange but strong "love" for his ideal Germany which changed Germany
because by nature he was a dictator. As for your idea of no matter who someone is lets take for
example Amy Winehouse her father loves her as does her "husband" in his own way she also is crazy in
love with her husband as reflected in her songs and chosen way of life if love could change anyone
surely her fathers love would have changed her! Love cant control behaviour just create emotions. To
suggest love as such a power makes no sense as we see so many examples of this not being the case.
Anything is possible and sometimes love does indeed change someone. BUT, it's not a given. There's
no guarantee.
What if someone has a legitimate physical or mental reason they can't change?
What if they have an extreme addiction they can't kick and it interferes with love changing them?
What if consciously they really want to follow the path to love but subconsciously they're still
drawn to something contrary? Think of a gay man who tries to repress and stay in the closet, finds
a woman who really loves him and who he loves in his own way, but he can never get away from that
nagging urge toward homosexuality he locked up.
I think that a person is not going to change due to one loving them unless they themselves are the
one in love and want to change. Love is a great thing but we seldom realize this until its to late
or until we have none.
Why do you keep starting debates about love?
Couldn't you have made a general one on simply 'love', rather than all of these silly ones? Or do
you admit to wasting time to get your post count up?
It is not love if you feel a need to change someone.....it is a control issue. If I fall in love it
is because I love the person why the heck would I want to be with someone if I felt the need to
change? That is why the divorce rate is so high.
"Love" does not solely mean the erotic attraction we call "falling in love." It can be expressed in many more ways than romance. You can show love to someone who needs to change and this love will help them. For instance, you can show love to someone who suffers depression and this will help them overcome it.
What about Hitler? Could love have inspired him to stop the cruel mutilation to the Jewish populace.
I don't think so. Love can change someone, but not anyone. There are some people who are born
without all of loves aspects.
ok, verum, point well taken about Hitler. But he doesn't count he was a sadistic sociopathic nut job.
Hitler is exempt human race status LOL really.
I am talking, normal ppl here...........something to work with, you know??
