Love VS Happiness
This topic was created in the Relationships & Astrology forum by littlescorpio on Saturday, June 29, 2013 and has 15 replies.
Is love equals to happiness? Happiness to me is something eternal, like friendship or at least when we grow old and frail. Why can love be unhappy? Is that love, or not?

I agree with BalmyTigress that love doesn't equal happiness. However, I do think love can be eternal, but may change forms. An example is one guy that I dated. I loved him, in a romantic sense, during and a little after our relationship. After some time apart we were able to reestablish a relationship, this time only as friends.I still love him, but only as a friend. He is a good person and I will always love him.
I also believe in unconditional love. My emotions and reactions change overtime, but my love for someone doesn't fade. The best example for that is with my child.

I think happiness brings you love, not the other way around. Many people assume the latter and that's why you see so many dysfunctional/unhealthy relationships. People haven't figured their shit out internally, and think that finding "love" or that someone else will bring them that happiness.

Idk. I think love is gonna always have its ups and downs. Like many emotions do.
IS LOVE EQUALS TO HAPPINESS?
Yes, if you'll get to where the root is which is loving yourself. When you love yourself enough, you will be a happy person.
HAPPINESS is a choice. You get to decide for self if you want to be happy. Wise is the one who choose happiness over misery etc...
WHY CAN LOVE BE UNHAPPY?
It depends on the kind of love you have. If its romantic love and it's not reciprocated, it can be unhappy.??
Another love is for family and friends which does not require so much reciprocation cos it comes out naturally and does not ask so much in return. We give it freely without asking in return (sometimes).??
IS THAT LOVE, OR NOT???
Yes it is love.
Only that LOVE comes in different form.??

Happiness is a general sense of well being that a person lives with without always being consciously aware - it's your basic outlook ... a person doesn't consider whether their happy for their daily interactions, unless they are unhappy about something in particular.
Love, on the other hand, is a very vague term used to label, "regard" ... a person in love with a partner, feels this on a constant basis, and leaves the person with a compulsion to express this feeling constantly ... as if this has to be done to make sure it is remembered, as if you don't constantly remind the other through expressions, then it might vanish.

I think it's good to keep in the habit of expressing it on a regular enough basis though, don't you?click to expand
Perhaps, but, the continuation of expressing it wasn't the point.
Two people who are secure in their relationship doesn't really need the other to keep telling them on the regular .... they need the action to be consistent.
If a person wants to be told more often then the other is feeling it to say it ... then it no longer is a heartfelt sentiment.
If you want to keep something, then keep reality .... remember, most women (the insecure ones) want these words all the time, even when he doesn't want to ... and she doesn't care, so long as he has words.

For me, happiness is an emotional state. When we're happy we feel good. Love, on the other hand, doesn't always make you feel good. But for me love isn't so much an emotional state as it is an expression that life is good because we share it with others. Love is appreciation for what is good in ourselves and others. It's a recognition of what matters in life. We say we want to be happy but most of us are really looking for love. Love is connection. It's what ultimately makes life worth living, whether that love is for a pet, a person or a beautiful day. At it's highest expression to love is to value what is good in life.
