We all know how important the words "I Love You" are, but are they really the most important words in the world? In a world where hundreds of languages and endless billions of phrases have been spoken over our thousands of years of recorded history, could three short words like I Love You really exist as most important, consequential phrase ever spoken?
There's no doubt that for certain individuals throughout history, I Love You did not end up being the most important words they ever heard. But for our culture and society as a whole, and where all of history is concerned, it's arguable that I Love You (and all of its equivalents in other languages) are indeed the most important words in the world.
Love in its many different forms has undoubtedly been the driving force behind much of the world's progress, wars, and monumental developments. Whether it is love of country, love of self, or the desired love of another, the words "I Love You" have played a much larger role in the development of humanity than the history books suggest.
While there are specific recorded examples of romantic love changing the course of history (think of the face that "launched a thousand ships," for example), love almost certainly exists as the influence behind many other significant events in history. While mankind's need for power is often blamed for many wars and innovations, the need to defend something we love or earn the love of another is undoubtedly a strong influence in these events, as well.
Few words have the power and life-changing influence as I Love You, even for the vast majority of us who have no influence on the world stage, politics or international disputes. For the rich and famous as well as the average person, I Love You carries a huge weight both physically and psychologically. Everyone wants to be loved, regardless of whether they admit it or not, and hearing the words I Love You is a huge comfort to every person in the world.
So, are the words I Love You the most important words in the world? Ask yourself, is I Love You really the most important phrase in the world for you personally, as well? If they are, then you might be able to create the type of romantic relationship that goes down in history. If not, then you might not be ready yet; but that's not to say that you won't be someday in the future.
Above all else, romance is patient. Never rush into anything, and if it doesn't feel like the time to say those special three words, then love may just have to wait a while!
I Love You In Words
Love is...patient and kind. How can we say we love someone if we get easily frustrated and treat them with disrespect? Love is...rejoicing in the truth. Is it possible to love someone and deliberately lie to them? Love is...bearing all things. That means putting up with each other's faults. No one is perfect. Love is...believing all things. It doesn't mean we have doubt about someone. We should be able to take what someone says at face value. It is trust. Love is...hopeful in all things. It's knowing that everything will work out for the best. Love is...enduring. That means it puts up with the little things that drive us crazy. Love is...never failing. Love is real when it can stand up to all these things. It looks for the best in others and brings these things out.
True love can stand the test of time. Being with someone for a long period of time allows you to go through different emotions and periods with that person. If your heart has the strength to weather through these different experiences with your lover, then both you and the relationship will grow stronger.
Love doesn't mean that your lover has the responsibility to keep you happy and vice versa. The only person who has the responsibility to make you happy is yourself. While you and your lover can make each other "happier", you shouldn't be solely dependent on each other for happiness. The couples who end up being happy together are made up of individuals who were happy to begin with. Keeping yourself happy is a hard enough responsibility, don't make it harder for yourself by letting another person's happiness be your responsibility too.
Love is sublime. Love gives power. Love gives determination. In love, many lovers do what they could never dream of. Empires have been sacrificed for love. Battles have been fought for love. Love has ruled mankind since ages. Those who experience love are truly lucky. Real love is supportive. Love yourself, love your dream, love your mission, love your life, and surely enough, a wonderful person will show up and love you even more. Love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion. Love is not exclusively based on how we feel.
Certainly our emotions are involved, but they cannot be our only criteria for love. True devotion will always lead to action - true love.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ... Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
Love is friendship set on fire." - unknown "Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing." - Goethe "To be in love is merely to be in a state of perceptual anesthesia." - H.L. Mencken Love stretches your heart and makes you big inside." - Margaret Walker
"Love has no awareness of merit or demerit; it has no scale... Love loves; this is its nature." - Howard Thurman "Love is like war: Easy to begin but hard to end." - Anonymous "Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other." - Rainer Maria Rilke
"Where love is, no room is too small." - Talmud
"Loves makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place." - Zora Neale Hurston "Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." - Mark Twain
First and foremost focus on yourself. Your dreams, your goals, your truth. Somebody who really loves you will love you even more if you are being your true self. Someone who cannot love you when you follow your excitement is not worth being loved by you! If your husband is angry with you because you take time to achieve your goals, then he is not supportive. If your wife is jealous because you have success and she doesn't, then that is her problem. Don't lose yourself, and your love will last. Focus on the reason why YOU are here on earth, make your mission the first priority in your life, and you will be loved for WHO you are. This is real love. Real love is supportive. Love yourself, love your dream, love your mission, love your life, and surely enough, a wonderful person will show up and love you even more. What you are able to give to yourself, you will get back thousandfold from the outside world. If you are already in the energy of love, by simply loving yourself, then you will attract love from outside into your life. Make love last by loving yourself first. Love Love Love...
