Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affections and attachments. (Wiki)
"Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O no, it is an ever fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand'ring barque, Whose worth's unknown although his height be taken. Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom."
-Sonnet 116, Shakespeare
Well, the poet begins to come to the conclusion that love can shelter him. The conclusion he does come to in Sonnet 116 is that love, despite time, is a constant. Throughout history, poets, writers, artists, philosophers, and scientists have attempted to conceptualize love.
Unfortunately, love can become subjective in its definition from person to person. Maybe Sternberg, Hojjat, & Barnes’s (2001) said it best: love is a subjective story that is defined by the people who are involved, through the eyes of their history and how that history collides with today.
Love comes with obstacles, It really depends on what obstacles you are trying to overcome and if the person you love , loves you the same and is working toward the same goal you are.
BUT, love can overcome a lot but there are true differences, hardships, responsibilities, obligations, and values that can keep sincere love from growing or being pursued. Values constantly change in a lifetime. Sometimes love is just not enough , in my opinion, Love DOES NOT conquer all. The only love that prevails is your love of life.
