Writing Feedback / What is Love? What does it mean to you? [3]
The prompt is "What is Love? What does it mean to you?" The only requirements were that you had to define love from a dictionary and be 3 pages/double spaced.
Introduction is all I have. Any criticism is appreciated!
C. S. Lewis once said, "affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives." According to the Oxford Dictionary, love is defined as an intense feeling of deep affection. Therefore, Lewis essentially said love was of utmost importance in terms of happiness. On the contrary, affection can also be the cause for nine-tenths of the miserable happenings that occur throughout our lives. Others might argue that love is actually a means of weakness in our hearts. A weakness so formidable that it allows a select few to abuse that trust and take advantage of those feelings. For some it fulfills a perverse sense of gratification just because they have the power to do so. For others it's just means to an end. That being said, whether we find true love or not, "is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?"
