I believe in today's society to find genuine love, the way Romeo and Juliet did, is very difficult and in most cases rare.

Observing majority of human behaviour, it seems they lack many aspects of commitment, loyalty, honesty, understanding and many other essential virtues which build up the foundation of a relationship, in order to be able to let it survive persistently throughout the long-term.

There are many divorces, and pretentious marriages that are used for either money, status, prestige, or fitting within the category of being naive, not carefully considering the consequences to the key ofcommitment, loyalty and trust.

If you have all the virtues alongside your partner to try and make the relationship survive with intense loyality, and understanding, it may bear a successful..

Hi Lagrima,

Something i bare in mind is i cannot realistically see this happening in the majority.

As I always did I’ll ask: “WHAT IS LOVE?”… These are the terms to be discussed at the first place. How could we reply whether love exists if we don’t know what we are talking about? In a previous post I defined two aspects of love: sharing and protecting. English language is weak at this point as the word “love” is used for two completely different sentimental states. In Greek we have two different words in order to express them. The first one answers “the love between (for example) the members of a family”, that includes the terms of sharing and protecting (αγάπη-agapi). The second one refers to the “passionate love between two persons”(έρωτας, έρως-erotas, eros). Plato talked about this kind of “love” which is named as transcendental.

So what kind of “love”(it’s a lingual matter) is connected with Romeo and Juliet?
