Discussion: What is true love?
Key:
True love means “forgiving”. If one really wants “love”, one must learn how to forgive. Love means loyalty; it should be the encountering of two sincere hearts. There is no deceiving in true love. If deceiving emerges, love will go to its end.
True love means responsibility. Responsibility is not just a simple promise. It is not easy to take the responsibility. So don’t let rhetoric words blind your eyes. However, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t believe in him. Trust is extremely important in true love. If there were no trust, there would be no love, let alone true love.
Besides, there is no betrayal in true love. If betrayal happens, it just means that your love is not true. The flowers of true love can never fade. So if your love with someone comes to an end, don’t feel frustrated or even punish yourself, which is the most stupid thing in the world. Treating yourself well at anytime for love is just a small part of your life.
