For Love
May 9, 2010What would you do?
For love, I would pursue it and give it my best shot even if I knew it was a mistake right from the start and nothing would come out of it; I would rather have lived it and be hurt than never to have lived at all.
That’s how much I would give for love.
Idealistic? Romantic? Stubborn? Irrational?
I was thinking, “How many irrational decisions have I made in my life?” The answer: not many. I have been a fairly rational being. & only for love would I give myself, I would be an irrational being.
For love, what would you give?
Hi Elvin! u sound like ur in love.. haha anw why not… afterall, love is subjective in e first place. but I gotta say… it’s not just all about feelings. and just like a quote like this :
“Life has taught me that love does not consist of gazing at each other but looking together in the same direction” – by Antoine de Saint Exupery
Don’t u think it is so true? wishing u happiness nonetheless, jiayou for ur filming days till u 杀青！！:)
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
It is not self-seeking, nor easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongdoing.
It does not delight in evil,
But rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, trusts, hopes, and preserves.
There is nothing love cannot face;
There is no limit to its faith, hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things that last forever:
Faith, hope, and love;
But the greatest of them all is love.
– 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
when it comes to love… most ppl r not rational… coz feelings r on control more then the mind…. i agree wit u… if u try at least u still stand a chance… if u dun try at all n give up u will nvr noe the ans…. even though u r hurt but at least u wont regret coz u have tried ur best…. love need understanding, trust n communication…. communication is the most impt keys coz if u dun communicate u wont understand n noe the other party is thinking n the other party also dunnoe….. :)
For love is blind, don’t u agree?
We fell in love with someone we never thought of.
He or she might not be you dream girl or guy but somehow, you get attracted to that so.
To be frank, if there’s any need I’m willing to put down anything n everything for my so.
If you think this is what you should go for..then take up the courage and go for it all the way. If you don’t try, you will never know whether it succeed for you.
You only live once…and live it meaningful with sparks..
Somehow i believe in fate too.
Someone told me no matter how she tried, he’s not interested in her. Should she still persist on or let go?
But i believe in giving your best shoot also. At least i tried….
So if it’s not working, i can erhmm classified under ‘fated’? =}
no matter what decisions you have made, when you turn around and looked back at your life at least you wont regret on the irrational decisions that you have made. live your life a life of no regrets :)
it’s better to have love before than never to have love at all :)
i feel what you’ve said is what we all wish or hope for. but practically, it doesn’t work this way. =)
For love…i think i’ll also give everything tat i have :]
After all “But love is blind and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit”…quoted from Shakespeare…Lol~
To Angela’s msg above…ur quote u wrote..i juz saw it somewhere on the net today…Heehee :)
that’s so sweet.
Let’s me guess…is the lucky girl…..JA ? Love your chemistry in New Beginnings. : )
Elvin. for love, I will give my best to that person. I will treasure that person and that person happy and will not carelessly be involved in silly ‘crushes’ with someone else. That person will be the focus of my life till eternity. That is when you know that person is the one you are looking for.

Love is more than what have been decribed by many ppl. It is long suffering and great scarifices. Even couples married for many years they must continue thru’ thick and thin. Regardless of what they go through in life, they need to stand up for each other. They need to be patient and tolerate each other, no matter what happens they have to be there for each other. Love is not just hucky dovey!
Forget to congratulate on your wins for three Awards this year. Keep it up.
Compared to the ‘blinding’ power of love, irrationality seems trivial. =)
is easy to say then done. Have put in so much love n effort and what i get is hurting memories. I being to lose faith.
Anyway, wish you all the best in love life.
Love can be easy for others & can be difficult as well…
In love, if both have the same thinking & goals in life, it would be easier.
Like prince meets his princess & they lived happily ever after….isn’t it better this way……
During my dad’s century, i found that people are more serious & committed in relationship. He knows what he wants in life. Dad loves my mum & both decided to walk down to the red carpet. After having their own kids, his mind is working hard for the family & my mum work hard @ home to look after us…That’s is called responsibility & true love. Right?? (But i suppose, nowadays, not everyone think of that…)…
Hmm… what’s happening & their vow they made in the lst place???
Exactly!
so what if u get hurt & mistreat.. as long as u are happy giving & loving, it’s worth a shot.. theres nothing rational bout love.. no one can grade the love for me.. only me, myself, aku!…
wish u all the best in ur love life! be brave and embrace!
Cheers,
Ivy
Love = Fate!!
Love is always blind for everyone. We dun even know who we will love, untill the day comes. Haha!!
Many say: “We’ll usually fall for the person that we frequent argue with in the past.” I wonder is this quote true or not.
Anyway, I’m willing to give my BEST when LOVEs come. =)
Smile ^.^
Wah, Elvin sounds like he’s in love! :P Hehehe.
People always say “love is blind”.
I totally agree.
We all want to be in love and wants to be loved. isn’t it? :)
Love is a feeling, hard to express using words..
Love is something hard to come by! so cherish it when it comes knocking on your door! (:
With lots of love,
Yuting. :D
Hello Elvin ! :D
If i truly love tht person, of cos, i wan tht person to be happy (:
Maybe i will not give so much for love if i know tht person i love doesnt care beacause i might get hurt :>
Okay, i agree wif many ppl’s comments here.
LOVE IS BLIND !
I hope you’ll find your true love soon (:
Shall look forward !
Hope to have a chance to lived it & be hurt for love too…but just don’t have enough courage & confidence to pursue it cos felt I wasn’t good enough & not worthy for him…at the same time I am afraid & do not know how to reach out to him…he may seams to be near yet so distant from me…he may not have to love me in return, I am just as happy & contented to love him purely in my heart & wish I could get the chance to stay by his side…to share not only his happiness but also his unhappiness…to be there for him especially when he is down… felt really sad for not being able to get the chance to see him secretly from afar anymore =( but no matter what happened….he will always be in my heart….hope he can live in fortunate, happy & healthy always ;P
Elvin, in love? Hahs… kidding (:
Anyway, “Love is just a word till someone you meet gives it a meaning.”
Love isn’t all smiles and laughs
for the moment;but crying and fighting for
what you beileve is right and willl last forever .
If i were to be u, i’ll give my best to achieve it, no matter wad will happen in the end, at least i know that i’d given my best shot in it. So i wont regret.
No matter we make a rational or an irrational decision, is all about the dignity of choice. (: Jiayou!
For Love I do anything
For someone special I do everything
If you are willing to trust in a person when all others tell you to go against it,if you are willing to risk getting your heart broken,because you believe in that person,then that is true love.
I would not just anyhow like someone,I will only like the special someone until eternity.
I want my first love to be forever because if you really love someone,why not make it end and last? :-)
Wow,Elvin,you must be in LOVE right?lolx,just kidding.
Somehow, i beg to differ. What you have described sounds like romantic, passionate love. A holistic perspective of love includes commitment to one another too. I must say i’m very impressed in your approach with love. Although i always say it’s better to try and fail than not try at all, when it comes to matters of the heart, i’m much guarded. I would never commit myself to love or let myself fall in love with someone who’s already attached, which is a mistake right from the start. I guess an ideal and possible love is when you can grow with one another and work towards the same goals, while maintaining your own social circle and interests in life. Only then, I will give my heart fully. Every relationship you have is a life lesson, so love and be loved readily!
Though it might seem like the only thing that stands between us is our decision to pluck up our courage and give it our all, I do feel bounded by traditions. Its easier (not easy still) for a guy to go all out. But what about for the ladies? Do we do the same? Does tat make u look like a loose woman? When u know that the obstable between two people renders this relationship impossible, do u still hang on? for how long?
oh well, tat’s just me grumbling away.. Perhaps sometimes we do need to let go.. It might not be the worst outcome for both parties.. :)
‘Don’t let go too soon.. but don’t hang on too long’ ~somebody said that b4
It wouldn’t be called love if one not sacrifice irrationally and unconditionally =) Listen to whatever your heart says.
70% for Love..
30% for Own for keeping~
看了你这番话真的让我感动了。为爱执著，坚持，永不放弃的精神。。。。可是当你知道这是一段没有结果的感情，你还一头撞进去吗？真的不在乎受伤吗？我很同意 Jojo 的说法。可能这就是男人和女人的分别吧！当你受过了伤，你还会这样想吗？
for love, a person will make sacrifices.
old saying: u never try u never know :) i got the same thinking too :D i rather get hurt then to live with the regret forever :) jiayou! lend u my strength! *though abit no strength now, hungry!!
Love.
When one met the right person at the right time, love could be blind as one can only see that person in this world. No matter how may obstacles infront or objections from people around you, Love will give you strength to fight for it.
Love is a give and take. We makes sacrifices. Even if the outcome is not what you expected, at least you have truly love a person and going through alot with him/her.
Some people don’t mind being hurt and will continue moving on to the next relationship just to be in love. However, there are people who will just wanna feel it once and might be more rational in their next relationship.

大雨像下了一世纪
我用手臂撑起屋顶
曾经你就在我怀里让我风平雨停
我好想你
我是沉默的行星
移动都以你为中心
只是未世一来临一切化为灰烬
都回不去
我用我的生命爱你
不让尖锐的世界伤害你
不懂花言巧语的人
“我爱你”往往来不及证明
我用我的生命爱你
忘记自己也毫不留情
爱一个人奋不顾身
喔辛苦也觉得平静
时间是唯一的线索
印证我没说的承诺
当我放开你的手如果有点振动
不是发抖
我用我的生命爱你
不让尖锐的世界伤害你
不懂花言巧语的人
“我爱你”往往来不及证明
我用我的生命爱你
忘记自己也毫不留情
爱一个人奋不顾身
喔辛苦也觉得平静
穿过巨大的伤口
我找到当时的温柔
有始有终就算收获
我从不在乎心痛
我用我的生命爱你
不让尖锐的世界伤害你
不懂花言巧语的人
“我爱你”往往来不及证明
我用我的生命爱你
忘记自己也毫不留情
爱一个人奋不顾身
喔辛苦也觉得平静
我甘心因为我愿意
Love is worth fighting for if both parties are truly in love. Even if there is no happy ending, it’s still worth loving the person. I agree with what you said.
However, if it is not true love, it is difficult to even start, because weighing the consequences of being hurt, is not really worth it.
If the feelings are not mutual, I’d rather be best friends forever with him, than be lovers.
Then we’ll never do really part. It’s quite difficult to be friends after ending a relationship. And also, I’d rather not hurt his feelings.
The truth is, there’s no way to stop loving someone. Even you tell yourself not to. It’s inexplicable.
if i knew it right from the start that its a mistake and it will never work out, i will never waste my time on this relationship. since u know its not the true love that ur longing for, why do u still choose to fall into it?
anyway congrats to u if u have found ur love…
I realise that whenever you post something, everybody will reply and response to your thoughts almost immediately like sitting on the computer table waiting for your post. But your reply is not there….
I dont blog neither do I know how to create one.I am not your big fan but I just happen to see ur this particular blog topic.
Idealistic? Romantic? Stubborn? Irrational?
Which one do u believe in? For love, you would pursue it and give it your best shot even if you knew it was a mistake right from the start and nothing would come out of it; you would rather have lived it and be hurt than never to have lived at all.
Are you willing to give up your frenship with that girl if nothing comes out of it?
I was like you before (perhaps due to the same age), and I lost the frenship which I could have till now. Perhaps love is blind and when u’re blind u dun see wat’s ard you.
“Pursuing the one u love even if you know nothing comes out is painful”. we may know this theory right from the start but are we willing to accept the truth when the time is up is another thing.
I think that’s wat we need to think about before we do. But watever it is, never regret your decision. coz the regrets will be with u for life…
For love, I’ll give up everything n anything including my life,frens n family.
For u, how irrational will you go?
Wow, indeed seems like Elvin is in love! But there isnt only love between men & women. Family, friendship, also can hv love rite? Most of u commented alot on love, i do agree.
Me? I will go all out to love, be it right or wrong. I can sacrifice everything for the right one, will do anything for him. I am laugh when he is happy, cry when he is sad. I wanna be there for him, anytime, anywhere. But, to love is better? Or to be love?
The one you love, might not be the one you are with & vice versa. Love is complex, so are we……
As long as u have lived. Catch and collect those memories, other is not important. It is good enough. Enjoy love!
Elvin, I’m amazed at how many times you write a post that is so relevant, that gives me strength at the moment I need it most. Yes, for love, I’d give it my best shot although it’s one that is wrought with impossibility right from the start. I’ve tried my best and been hurt my worst, how much worse could it possibly be to give it one last best shot? At least I’d know the answer. For certain. Thanks, Elvin.
MOST of us will give our totality for love, only to realise that it is not really a bed of roses after it – that’s irrationality cos we are blinded by it. As such, we need to stay ‘sober’ and ‘rational’ and be pragmatic… we need bread and butter too.
well, i used to be highly idealistic when it comes to love too.
but somehow, with nothing but horrible ugly breakups, i just somehow develop a rather cynical attitude towards love now. and this is so saddening.
i miss the feeling of being in love 100%, knowing that even if i get hurt, i have tried my best.
but my pride can no longer suffer another heartbreak so i guess till then.
for now, being heavily guarded and protective of my heart is how i should face love.
Gosg! You’re going to be a really romantic boyfriend and the best one ever! Go for it (:
For once during love, I chose to give all my heart out….
being blinded by love but end up badly hurt…
not being trust not being understood…
badly mistaken…
a lot of courage is needed to be loved again and love others…
I’ve no idea what I will be able to give in the next relationship… but i guess guarding my heart is the most important thing currently…
Go for your love!! =D
i am of coz not a love expert (no one is) n that is not fair for me to comment but.. sound like u’ve not gone through much about love. love, is too huge a topic to learn about.
it doesnt mean you do anything for love that love will be yours.
you will not say you’ll rather be hurt and live it before than never if you truely know about love.
how do you tell if what you do and give is for love? maybe you only like. love is a feeling. you might be doing nothing at all but it just in your heart n mind.
you lost yourself when you love.
your life is share when you love.
you do the things you never though you will when you love.
you forgive when you love.
you see nothing ugly when you love.
lastly, you discover yourself most when you love.
thats what i am when i love.
so being hurt in love is the last thing you will want in your life.
but i agree with you to some point. it not rather lived it than never.. but it in a way good to lived it once and fully understand how much it can kill you inside and know what you really want in love for the next. it not about what you do or give rather it about what she feel or take from you.
for love, i am all alone in a land where i know no one and life starts from zero. at a corner of my heart i hate myself.
I am not in love before, but I think that there should me mutual respect and freedom between two sides. But no matter what they do, there must be loyalty exist in their mind, always.
