In the article “In the Name of Love” Miya Tokumitsu protests against the do what you love (DWYL) concept along with the well-known speech given by Steve Jobs.

Most people become discouraged when they find themselves following a path that is not what they have dreamed of. Others choose paths that revolve completely around their own self-fulfillment.

For some people love is a complete devotion and endless adoration, for others is a temporary feeling that will disappear in time. For some people it is a fairy-tale and for others it is a dream come true. Some people say love is once-in-a lifetime thing and others believe that after one love comes another. The more you try to find a universal definition of love – the more you get confused with all these words you get from different people around you. The more you think you get closer to the true
What is the definition of love? What would motivate a man to stand between his wife and the barrel of a gun or keep a young woman beside the hospital bed of her comatose fiancé? Love, is a word of endless meaning, a subject of complex debate, and an idea of perfect imperfection; a story without an ending. The Holy Bible’s 1 Corinthians 13:13 hastened to say, “now abides faith, hope, [and] love, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (KJV) I believe love to not only be an idea, but a singular
"What 's Love" People often say a Mother loves her child even before the child is born as she becomes part of the child world and their heart beats as one. But love often has different faces and emotions, some love for money, power and fear but no one can only Truly know when they have found love after they have lost it.

opportunity to find love in the numerous spectacle events which they attended. Spectacles brought large numbers of people together into a single controlled environment and provided a very easy way for people to strike up a conversation over a common interest.

While spectacles seemed ideal places for love, those attending were

Doing What You Have To: An Analysis of “A Life Beyond ‘Do What You Love’” It is ingrained in many young children to follow their dreams and to make career choices based on those dreams, but sometimes that is not always possible.

What is love? How do you define it? Do you believe in true love? Love is a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person and warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion.

Since then I have come across several definitions of love both in dictionaries and my conversations with different people. Love is a magical feeling composed of three elements attachment, caring

What is love? I don’t mean the hit song What is love? by Haddaway. What does love truly mean. As defined by dictionary.com, love is an intense feeling of deep affection. I believe that love is much more than that though. True love would mean you would do anything for the person you love. A deep bond that could not be broken by anything, by anyone. A mother’s love for her child is one example, the mother would sacrifice herself in order for her child to live. It does not have to be that extreme though
What is love? Is it an emotion? Is it an action? What effects does love have when you lose someone? Love is a moment when you just can’t go without someone or something, love is the moment when you are willing to give up everything you worked so hard for just to have that someone or something. Yes, this wonderful passionate feeling can be used and showed in various ways. Love can have spiritual meaning, can drive you crazy. Love can be defined as something that can as something you, look forward
its not-so-subtle points. This world has redefined the word love This world (as opposed to other worlds?) definitely hasn’t redefined the meaning of the word love. Love has a standard dictionary definition that, as far as I’m aware, still accurately reflects modern usage.

What we should do, however, is accept the reality that many people

WHAT IS THE OBJECT AND PURPOSE OF LOVE ACCORDING TO DIOTIMA? Whereas many of the interlocutors present in the symposium are unclear / ambiguous in their presentation / definition of the dichotomy present between love and desire, Socrates recounts that Diotima proposes that “love” can be classified as the “desire” which is shared between two (people); (ideally) coming to forge a potent and powerful bond between them. WHAT DOES DIOTIMA CLAIM LIES MIDWAY BETWEEN WISDOM OR KNOWLEDGE AND IGNORANCE? In
The purpose of the Symposium is to determine what exactly Love is, and Socrates explains his own views through the teachings of Diotima. While Diotima takes the position that to be in Love means you must be in active pursuit of something, I disagree. Instead of acting as just a verb, Love can also serve as a noun. The first problem arises when trying to figure how to label Love. Is he a god or a mortal? Diotima describes Love as a mixture of the two. He is not a god, but he is not a pure mortal
What Is This Thing Called Love by Kim Addonizio and Against Love Poetry by Eavan Boland are more different than they are similar. Both works differ in tone, in whom the poems are centered around, and in purpose. One reflects on the narrator’s troubled past and the other reflects on the past years of a loving marriage. While both works may have many contradictory aspects, they are alike in some ways. The two works are put side by side to show a couple different, yet important, versions of love. The

A. Euthyphro For the question of “Do the god’s love what is holy because of its holiness, or is what is called ‘holiness’ only so called because the gods love it?” I would say that in my opinion, there is an answer because of my belief in religion I believe that what is deemed holy is only so because the gods love it; however, I can also argue for the latter that the gods love what is holy because of its holiness. For example, in the Christian religion being that I view God as the creator and God
Teaching is what I love most. A teacher is one person among the few who have the opportunity to change one’s life and forever the person will never be the same again.

In doing this one can increase knowledge and understanding that in turn transform the life of the learner positively. A teacher is among the great destiny

The phrase, “do what you love,” is a saying many of us use when it comes to choosing a college major or a career. However, one person questions that phrase by asking if it is “wisdom or malarkey” (Pg. 1). That person is Gordon Marino and he is a philosophy professor at St. Olaf College. His article, called, “A Life Beyond Do What You Love,” questions the famous motto by saying that sometimes we should not do what we love, but rather do other things that will make the world around us better. Dr. Marino
Summary A story of love faith and fighting what 's right in the name of God. The mission is almost like the mission God gives us as christians to spread the gospel and glorify him and help others get to know and be a part of the kingdom of God and sometimes we have to go against the world to do what God has called us to do no matter what anyone in this world says we are created to live in the world but not to be of it.

The word Love may mean many things to different people. For some it can be dangerous and complex, whereas for others it can be simple, yet fulfilling. Many have also attempted to prove the meaning of love, some successful, others not. In the poems A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning by John Donne and Sonnet 147 by William Shakespeare, both authors view love from opposite spectrums. They both attempt to argue what the meaning of love really is. They do this, by using imagery and symbols, and by writing

Love Languages Having that one friend you can count on no matter what is a special thing, that not everyone is fortunate enough to experience. Abby and me have been friends since my freshman year, and have a strong affinity for each other. We met in gymnastics, and instantly clicked. We have been inseparable since. Our friendship isn’t perfect, we have dialectal conflict just like anyone else, but we will always fight to overcome it. The fact that we share three of the same love languages, has helped
What is life without feeling love? We’re all bound to find out what love feels like. We are told that one day we’ll find the ‘one’. Except I haven’t. I have always been so busy with life, from high school, to graduation, to college, to work. I never had time to fall in love, I was thrown into life and I wasn’t prepared. I didn’t indulge on what could have changed my life. I just went with the flow and didn’t really live. I was just alive. I didn’t have many people in my life, just my mom and dad

What is Love? For many years, people have tried to uncover the meaning of love. We have had great poets like Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley, etc. who have tried to convey their understanding of love. Famous play writer Shakespeare has given us the ideal lovers to look up to. What we realize from this is that ‘love’ is not defined. It has a different form according to every other person. A similar attempt to define love can be seen in Patrick Marber’s play Closer. The play revolves around four strangers
We were made for God’s love, and God’s love alone can fill that need. Only after experiencing and knowing the unconditional love that God has for us, the love that drove God to send his Son to die for us on earth, can we begin to love others with the same quality of unconditional love. true love is not sought or found just like that. It’s created by any 2 individuals by accepting the ‘imperfections’ and by trying to adjust, co-operate, understand, trust and above all to sacrifice for one another
What is Brotherly Love There are many reckoned forces in this world. Many things we do not understand. There are many things we take for granted such as brotherly love, that help to keep our lives intact. There isn’t anything stronger than love in this world.

In What’s Love Got to Do with It? by Donna L. Franklin, the question of how gender is constructed and ascribed to define humanity resonated with me throughout the text.

Franklin presented a common theme of acknowledging and rebuilding the schism of Black men and women. She traces gender relations from the Middle Passage to the

ever thought about whether you should do what you love in life, or if what you would love to do would be enough to support you or a family?

What is love if you are not with the one who does not make you happy? The one who does not make you feel special, who does not treat you like a proper woman, and makes you feel like you are just another person. Leaving the man of your dreams, the one you grew up with, only to betray him for fortune. The one who was there for the good and the bad times, who lets you be free and act as you please.
