Love, a disease?

[ucxb]

I read a dystopian story about love being a disease and people would get cured once they reached sixteen… Could love be considered a disease?

IF it could I would not want to be cured of it even though I feel needy when I don’t have it and powerless at times when I do. I am thankful for love existing, in any shape or form, even if it’s not mine to claim. It’s a means for hope for me.

 

[Lilianna]

Yeah, same here, if it is a disease, I don't want to be cured.

 

[Okiedokes]

Love isn't the disease.. it's selfishness that is.

 

[perfanoff]

I got cured of the disease when my first girlfriend cheated on me. I know better now. What other people call love, I call sex. What I call love, I don't know if there are many that feel the same.

"Hey, I love you..."
"Will you love me forever?"
"Of course <3"

"Love" has an expiration date that takes 3 weeks to 4 months for most people. How pathetic.

I feel you. Difficult to find people that would feel the same way.

Pathetic, indeed. Shame on them for diminishing the meaning and value of "love".

Do you remember the title of the story?

Agreed. Those that I have "loved" (in my way) did not "love" me back (in that same way). This applies to a broad spectrum of people in my life, not just romantic relationships. Really, and more deeply, it applies to family and friends.

My love is that sort of walk through fire emotion. The kind of loyalty that causes a dog to starve while waiting for his deceased master (friend) to return. People just don't love this way. I'm an anomaly. I choose to love as little as possible now. It drains me far too much to give and not receive.

Delirium. A series by Lauren Oliver. She has quite the imagination!

 

[dah]

Brilliant -- I'll look it up!

There was talk last year about a movie being produced and her final book to the series is to be released this spring. Latest news is that the story would be best in tv series instead of a movie now.

Well, if this is how you feel, your SO is very lucky to have you

I feel the same way. I still have hope I'll find someone special though. I want to have hope.

Thanks guys for sharing the book and the trailer. That was pretty cool actually. I might just check the book out myself.

Well I think my SO feels the same way? If that, then, wow I'm lucky to have him.

And I have hope and believe that if you have faith in love and finding the woman who feels the same and values it the same way, you might just find her when you least expect it. Anyway, no harm in having hope. But giving up closes all doors to possibilities and opportunities. I really wish you good luck on this, perfanoff - and you, bodafuko. You guys are decent people who I believe deserve decent ladies.

Requiem, the finale to the trilogy is available now

 

[Nice But Dim Jim]

If love is a disease, the cure is certainly more deadly.

 

[ucxb]

In the story, part of the brain is surgically removed. It's a good read

That part stuck out to us the most. We're curious as to what that would feel like -- being loved by someone like that.

if Love is a disease, then my purpose in life is a disease... i live for a disease and the thing i love most in the world is a disease... also, i would die for a disease... -.-
