Such A True Message, Nobody Should Believe They Are Unloveable!

Agree

This is true. I made something supporting lgbt and i got a lot of h.omophobic ppl .-.

so true! ^^ if only everyone would think the same..

No, this is hopeless and foolish. Love isn't simply "given", that's not how humans are. And we shouldn't give it away to everyone, but only to those who deserve it. If someone cares about you and loves 'ya, they deserve it, not someone who constantly hurts and dissapoints 'ya. That's just how it is.

how much do you want it for? haha jk

I like the pattern infront of the backround.

That is so true.

this is so true, i strongly believe in this, everyone deserves love and everyone's loveable :D

*hugs to all! >w<*

but @Sonzumaki makes a good point too! the ppl who constantly hurt u dont deserve as much love as others,
but i personally think they still shuld get at least a tad bit of love/respect (because 2 wrongs dont make a right)

That explains the downfall of prostitution... Oh, the OTHER love?

@Sonzumaki & @super*star: Respect and love are different. Respect is earned. Love is not. A mother does not love her child less if he misbehaves. If someone hurts someone else, they may not mean to or may regret it later, but when you love someone you try to help them as best you can. Someone can love you even if you don't love them. You can not choose to love someone and you can not make someone love you. If you're deciding degrees of love, that's not love, but respect or trust. Love is patient, kind, keeps no list of wrongs and makes sacrifices. Trust and respect are conditional, but love is unconditional. This is about people accepting themselves as they are and not feeling unworthy of being loved. No one is perfect. We've all made mistakes and hurt even those we care about. If we hold back love for fear of being hurt, we're cutting ourselves off from compassion and living in fear, which replaces hope with cold logic. And what this world needs is not more cold logic but love.

Yeah I did :P they were getting out of hand so I deleted them. But you're right. :3 When I was young I used gay as an insult but I never hated them I just found them weird :P But when I was twelve I started have some feelings to guys. I've known some ppl that hated gays but know they support them ^u^ It's great how ppl change

I believe love is earned in some aspects. Of course we love our family and that love is not earned, it is just love that all families share. But when it comes to friends, I'd say love is earned by both of those people. I am very close to some of my friends and they're like family to me. That love was created, not free. Although I understand your message, I wouldn't say love is free. I feel that if love were free it wouldn't have as much meaning.

Rogue,
Firsthand, I apologize for being so inactive... I will try to refrain from making excuses, or make this a sympathy party, but both of my grandparents have cancer, so life has quite a few downs lately. However, I wish to remain positive, because (*cliche not intended*) life really IS a roller coaster, and although there are downs, just like frowns, we can all turn them up- side down!
As far as this painting, I absolutely agree! Trust and respect are easily broken, yet eternal to succomb back into our hearts. Love IS unconditional. I agree that just because you have given up on a relationship/friendship/romance doesn't mean you have stopped loving them. The human race as a whole has such intriguing supernatural complexity, which is why I want to be a psychologist when I grow up :') Anyway, sorry for this being so long. Take care, rogue, and I always love hearing your thoughts! :)

^ That is a really good point! If love was free, there wouldn't be so much hatred in this world. However, (on a philisophical note), wouldn't that mean that hate is free as well? Maybe the opposite of what we know is true; hate is free, love is earned. This is because people who earn things tend to appreciate them more. Think of Maslow's Heirarchy of Basic Human Needs!

@Astaroth: You are worth being loved just as you are. Sometimes our lives can be filled with so much disregard and bitterness that we close ourselves off to avoid being hurt more than we already have been, but I believe love is supernatural and will always find those who seek it with an open heart. Sometimes it comes when you least expect it and from a source you don't expect to look. The first step, though, is to learn to accept yourself as you are, to feel good enough and to feel loved. I know we tend to think we have to have someone love us to love ourselves, but if you don't like you, it's hard to expect someone else to. Open your heart and love will come in. Sure, there's pain, but sometimes healing is painful even though we need to heal.

Sometimes we use words interchangibly, like saying we "love" ice cream. The love I'm speaking of is the purest form, like the love that a parent has for their child. You would sacrifice everything for them. You are bound to them in a way you can never remove. The child does not earn your love by his actions. You love him simply because he breathes. Do we all love this selflessly? No. Do we deserve to be loved this selflessly? Yes. Because we are all children of Light, made in the image of Love. We let the world bring us down and make us feel unworthy, but inside all of us is a place specially made for love, an unconditional pure love, straight from the Source. We seek to fill that in many ways, but nothing else satisfies, not even many things we call "love".

Love is a con.nection and hate is a separation, but neither need to be earned. Someone can have hate in their heart and spread it, even if the other person did nothing wrong. Some people hate like others love: Just because the other person breathes. We can make excuses why we love or why we hate, but in the end it doesn't matter why. If you love, you open yourself to the higher truth that we are one. If you hate, you close yourself off, often out of fear. If you ever feel hated, remember that, just as love comes through the person, hate comes through them too. The passionate form of hate comes from self hatred, from those who hate themselves. They should be forgiven and helped because they're hurting themselves often even more than you and they need love as much as you do.

I agree!

i totally agree with this!

I swear you just vom.it wisdom or something because this entire gallery is full of amaze

thx for explaining that RR c:

hmm......love and hate is not earned, and hate is often out of fear so the ppl with hate need love....... *thinks it over* ........yeah, that makes sense! :D

@RR i think ur in featured artists and if ur not, u shuld be >uO

mehhh nope love is earned...u dont just say i love u to someone u just met.-.
With all the fake ppl now a days i only truly love a few out of thousands

Hey can you do me a BIG favor?

I follow all your tips on how to getlikes, but it's not working. I spend more time on my art, make nice comments, and I'm not getting as much likes as before! Some people are unfollowing me now, and I dunno why! Can you give more tips on this please? Thank ju... ;)

(For MadiDoesArt, this is my other gallery o3o)

Because of society, we often have warped views of love. Which is why people often think that they can choose who to love. They think love is an action. "Well, I just won't love anyone I don't think deserves it." This is actually respect which leads to the action of kindness. But being nice doesn't make you a nice person, nor does saying you love someone mean you love them. It could just be lust or lonliness. Love is a motive, not an action. For example, someone donates to the poor. He might do it because he feels like he has to, or he feels like he has pleanty so why not, or that they deserve help because they're poor, or any number or reasons. In every case he donated to the poor, but in none of them did he do it out of love. If, however, we let love in our hearts, we want to help others not because someone has earned it or because society says we must, but because we are filled with love and it overflows out to others. The first step to finding this is opening your heart.

Love is a door that was never closed. :P love is the feeling you get when that special someone stands their ground for you. Regardless your side of the conversation. Love is when someone doesn't care of what you look like or have. They love you for who you are. Love is when a father looks into his daughters eyes and see's hope for a tomorrow. Love is when a child is hurting but they know you are there for them. Love isn't done alone. Love is with other people. Love is the key to a better society. By the way, don't ever think you are not important to anyone. Do not be that selfish. Because you are. That's what this means. Love is more then a word. Love needs to be said less for things that are not love, and more for when it is. That's what I think is being said here.

It is not worth changing for someone's "love"

I love this statement, but I feel like love needs to be given more than taken. I found someone I loved deeply as a friend. But one day me and her other friend got into a fight, and ever since I never spoke to the person I loved, if it were given... Would I be in this mess?

this is beautiful, thank you for this!
