to love without expectations ........

Is that really possible????

I mean at the end of the day, we'r only human. don't we all want to be loved in return? how long can one stay committed without expecting anything in return?

to love without expectations ........ is an outdated and archaic notion that needs to be change to ...I expect therefore I love 😉😉

Hey Priya,😃

Interesting Topic.....Love Without Expectations...

It is possible task to accomplish nonetheless a tough one at that. It is like you said, at the end of the day, we too are human beings and it comes natural to expect reciprocation of feelings and a sense of appreciation. However, if the love is one-sided, all we can do is to shower our beloved with love. When we know it is one-sided, we should also know that it is only fair to not expect the love back from the person as they did not ask to be loved. 😊

As far as how much we can stay committed..it depends on us as a person. It is how well we understand the situation we are in and how much are we willing to put at stake for the sake of our love, which helps us stay true to our feelings and to ourselves and the person we love.😊

Let me know what you guys think.

Love, KP😊

Nope not at all...

hey thanks KP! 😊 i must say.... WELL SAID ! 👏

i totally agree with you ! even i think that IT IS possible.... but only by someone with great willpower, great belief and great amount of patience! otherwise, most of us need constant reassurance that the ones we love... love us back just as much if not more - whether it is shown through gifts, gestures, quality time together, or whatever.

or else, i think it is difficult to maintain a strong bond for very long (in my opinion).

well i have something to share..
thanx for this topic
as psychology point of view
there r two types of love i.e
Conditional love and unconditional love
every parents love their children uncounditional no matter what they still love their child but put conditions to mould them according to society rules..
eg. if u study then i will tell u a story or otherwise i will not spk to u unless u finish ur homework
luv or helping someone without expectations is called Altruism and is a part of prosocial behaviour like if someone is drowning some ppl wud just fall into water to save them even if they dunno how to swim...
it is true that every individual is very selfish and can't survive with luv but there r ppl who still survive in the hope that one day they will get love so the hope of something is the key to many success.it is hope that or rather say trust that keep us alive

That is an immensely profound statement

wow! that is really interesting ! never thought about the psychology side of it !

yes i agree - humans are selfish... and when we do realise that the other person doesn't love us (or doesn't love us the we want them to love us) we tend to move on. im not saying that we're that selfish that we'll move on the minute we realise this. it may take time, and a lot of heartache .... but eventually a lot of ppl do move on.

but isn't it true that you need great willpower to hold on to that hope/trust?? say for example, another person comes along.... who showers their love on u.... what would it take to to continue holding onto that trust?
