What Is True Love
Shantel Charles
Argument Essay Many people have wondered can true love last forever. I agree and disagree that true love can last forever because true love is how you feel and feelings can always change. True love is described in three words – infatuation, lust, and friendship/companionship. True love can be disproved by infatuation. Infatuation is temporary euphoric state of that is the research on blood chemistry when someone says they’ve “fallen in love” as stated by Bill Ferguson in his research “Studying the Science of Falling in Love.” He says that love is a temporary state that people go through but it can at any point. Infatuation proves that true love can’t last forever because it’s a temporary state that express how a person feel for example when a person say “I’ve fallen in love” which can change at any point in a relationship. However, true love can last forever is expressed by friendship, or companionship. Friendship, or companionship if you will, is the one element of a love relationship that can, potentially, go on indefinitely as stated by Ferguson in “Studying the Science of Falling in Love.” What Ferguson may have meant was that a truly in love couple is like a relationship that they enjoy being in company with so it has the potential to last forever. Friendship and companionship proves that true love can last forever because it is possible/capable to last forever Cofer’s essay “I feel in love, or my hormones awakened” supports Ferguson’s claim of infatuation and lust. For example, in her essay she says “Week after week I wandered up and down the aisles taking furtive glances at the stock room in the back, breathlessly hoping to see my prince.” What this mean is that she was in love with a rich senior that every week she just hoped to see him in the stock room. Cofer’s essay proves that true love can’t last forever because she admired him and it can last forever because she wants to be with him but she holds it as a secret love.

    When people think of love, they often think of the passion and happiness that two people can share. Love is a strong emotion that can lead to much damage, but love itself is like a flame; it is bright and powerful, but it does burn out. However, this little flame called love can be created over a long period of time, or it can be sparked with just a glance between two people. Therefore, love at first sight is real.…

    Love has different meanings to different people. True love is not based on how good looking a person is. I think true love should be about how much you care about a person and how much you guys have in common. For example in the article “ Is There Live at First Sight” author Elliot Cohen stated that love should have common ground. “ Is he articulate? Does the tone of his voice resonate well with you? Are her morals , as expressed ,consistent with your own”(Cohen5). True love should have trust and commitment. True love is when you meet someone and say this is the person that I want to be with in my life. It’s not when you see someone and think they are good looking and want to be with them. Love should be when you love someone because of their personality and what kind of person they are.…

    According to the Oxford dictionary, “infatuation is an intense but short lived passion for someone or something”. In my own view, infatuation is any foolish or extravagant passion for someone that fades away as time passes by. Infatuation is an intense but short-lived passion but it extends to that because it is a proof of intimacy, maturity and a life lesson.…
