NescienceEscape and so, you should just be yourself and even if you can't have something or someone that you love, you shouldn't hurt yourself too much and try loving yourself first
GLOBAL DISCUSSION!!! FIRST TOPIC: NAME YOUR PRICE FOR (...)
KingBiBiK well to do so, you have to love yourself first beforehand before loving someone else, but there's quite a limit if you think love could be bought, because sometimes love that was bought for instance, using money, status, fame, etc.. Doesn't actually last on long terms . As for true love, lasts for a lifetime and that kind of love is usually earned even through the smallest sacrifice and surely not bought by something materialism

Azuminyan Buying love depends on the person who is buying it and who you buy it from.
If you want to buy long-term love, then you need to keep paying and putting effort into like in a subscription service. Typical love is like leasing a land. You BUY the right of the land for a certain period by paying and you have to continue paying to keep it.
Congratulations now you own a barren land with no return. [Love bought for instance].
Now you irrigate it with effort. You take proper care of the land and it can give you wonders. (Some land is innately bad that no crops grow on it despite how much you work on it.)
There are always a lot of twisted ways to buy something. Not gonna go into that.
There is ancestral land you get the moment you are born. That last long for a while.
(The land analogy is not for offending anyone, just to make the idea easy to understand. I can give examples but why should I?)
Then there is the barter system. You love someone to get loved. (Bartering is considered a form of buying).
This can be considered a popular form of true love but not the best.
"I love you because I know you love me so much."
True love depends on the morality of the people involved. Simple yet complex. (Did I forget to say trust and honor? Yes that as well.)
It's their morality that determines whether love last long or not.
Sleep on this :)
You can "buy" love via a third way. For example a boyfriend buys your favorite ____________ and for that you love him. But I think you mean going to the store and buy someone to love you.
If so...... buy a puppy!!
Azuminyan This is heavily dependent upon someone loving themselves, or even thinking that they are worth loving.
My assumption is that for this to happen a person needs to have experienced love at a very young age or to a profound degree.
And if that is the case, they might give gifts as symbols of love and remembrance to others, but they won’t try to “buy” love.
good topic! You’ve got me thinking and trying to clarify my own thoughts on this.
NescienceEscape And if that is the case, they might give gifts as symbols of love and remembrance to others, but they won’t try to “buy” love.
That's what I meant by buying love. But in a simplistic term it's hard to buy love just by offering money whenever u feel like.
All sort of materialistic gifts and efforts can be considered as buying. That's why I said you can buy love lol. In a broader and deep lvl.
Okay!! Next question!! Why does the thought of "buying" love tends to get quite a load of criticism??
KingBiBiK Gifts should not usually be considered buying, not as I was using the term.
Buying is a kind of fixed transaction.
Gifts are about recognition of something already there - nothing is required in exchange.
Not understanding this might be a cause of some confusion.
It is quite simple to buy love. Cash, however, is not an acceptable currency in such transactions.
Love can't be bought outright but it can be earned. And little by little, it makes it grow.
In my opinion you can do what ever to "love". You can give it, get it, ignore it even. The question is do you have the courage to take the consequences of the aftermath and choices you did about it.
Why we can't buy love?
It's just simple,
because love is not a material thing but a feeling.
You can buy the person but you can't force them to love you.
Because feelings can't be controlled.
Love is like a secret agent and you are the target.
It will hit you when you least expected it.
You can't dodge nor escape.
=====================
Why does the thought of "buying" love tends to get quite a load of criticism??
Because love is not that simple where when you have the money you can buy it directly.
Ahhahaha. watever. It's giving me a headache thinking about love
