Love sacrifices.... email this discussion to a friend?

" A butterfly was in love with a white rose, one day the butterfly proposed to the rose. The white rose told him that when she turns red that's the only time she'll love him... The butterfly then cut his body and spread his blood on the rose... The rose turned red and fell in love with the butterfly, but the butterfly was no longer alive..."

"LOve sacrifices are sometimes useless especially if that someone doesn't know how to appreciate it. They'll come to realize important things when it's already to late..."

Are you a butterfly or a white rose, when it comes to love?

For me, I must admit, sometimes I am like a butterfly. But I have learned my lessons about love and its sacrifices. And we have to set boundaries so we won't love in vain.

Are you a butterfly, who sacrifices all for love? Or the white rose who didn't appreciated the one she learned to love in the end? (^^~~~

I am terrible. I think I am the butterfly because I give every thing when I love but I don't regret it though. I know the man I gave my heart to now will be a good guardian of it and will look after its hidden treasures. I really hope so any way. I hope I can be a blossoming rose though with a beautiful perfume to make my lovely other rose drunk. I think like you say I am becoming a mixture of both but I don't think I can ever become sober in love I mean even if I don't drink alcohol


myLot reputation of 100/100. Aphroditei_5279 (887)   ranked 6 out of 484 in love  3 years ago

They say to be in love, you get high, more than any other thing and it has a long time effect..So no need of alcohol. (^^,LOL) It is intoxicating in itself..I hope Sis that you'll both be happy for a long long time and inlove..! (^^,)

I am neither. I beleive true love is more on giving and sharing and not in making or asking senseless sacrifices. Inorder for one to love, one must love oneself first. For how could one really know how to love when it doesn't even know how to love itself first? If the SELF that you offer to the one that you love is an unloved self, then you don't really love that person or someone because you are giving him/her less of your self. What the butterfly felt maybe is more of an obssession which is destructive in nature and the rose is not also not really in love for it is conditional. Yes, I agree with you that one should set boundaries as far as sacrifices is concerned.


myLot reputation of 100/100. Aphroditei_5279 (887)   ranked 6 out of 484 in love  3 years ago

Well said Cd, it is not love anymore in the butterfly's case but an obsession. And I also agree with you to love oneself first. Thank you for your deep interpration of my post. I really really appreciate it! (^^,)

Nice lesson and one worth remembering.I don't know which one of these two describes me best.Yes,some sacrifices are the ultimate.The lovers burns themselves out to keep the flame of love burning, but the sacrifices seem to have gone in vain.Perhaps they aren't all in vain if the person who is loved realises how much they were loved.There is no perfect answer to love.One has to keep learning and find his own definition of love.


myLot reputation of 100/100. Aphroditei_5279 (887)   ranked 6 out of 484 in love  3 years ago

Hmmmm, Bluewings, you never stop to amaze me. You're so perfect my friend! Lucky the girl who fall in love with you!*wink* Just kidding ha... (^^,)

I don't know, my friend. I am probably the soil, still waiting for a flower to blossom on my ground. I am a single and a lonely soul here.

Any takers?:P


myLot reputation of 93/100. magicalmerlin (1131)   ranked 209 out of 484 in love  3 years ago

Aww, how sad. You have lots of friends here on Mylot to help you through. I keep finding the users are a different gender to what I thought so will not offer - besides the fact that my hubby might object! LOL


myLot reputation of 100/100. Aphroditei_5279 (887)   ranked 6 out of 484 in love  3 years ago

May be that's one of the sacrifices you have to pay for being so powerful and all mighty my Lord. Hmmmm, but don't worry I'll call upon all the eligible damsel and present them to you. Can I apply too? (^^,LOL) Just kidding...
Don't worry, love will come. Maybe it is not yet the right time that's why you haven't found any yet. Or maybe Love is already right next to you but you never payed attention to it. More Love for you LordWarWizard! (^^,)

OMG what a wonderful story. I think I have in different stages of my life been both. I learned my lesson quite a few times, or rather enough times, to strike a balance I guess.

Thank you this was so lovely and so true


myLot reputation of 100/100. Aphroditei_5279 (887)   ranked 6 out of 484 in love  3 years ago

Thanks Annie! Actually, I got the story from a friend. And I have always kept it. So inspiring and as you said it reminds me to keep focus and balance in loving someone. Thank you again Annie! Have a lovely day! (^^,)

I am the Butterfly that is why I wasted 21 years of my Life before I realized that my Ex Husband was never going to adjust to Marriage, never going to stop mentally abusing me and stop being selfish
Now I am the Butterfly again but so is my lovely Man


myLot reputation of 93/100. magicalmerlin (1131)   ranked 209 out of 484 in love  3 years ago

Glad to hear you came good in the end.

Honestly, I'm none of both. I'm not a very romantic person. Hehe. But what strikes me is that you're right about the butterfly and the white rose. I have seen a lot of either type in different people (especially among my friends). I have one friend who sacrificed everything for another friend of mine who obviously didn't really appreciate everything that he had done for her. I advised him to give her up (I also told her to stop using him), but he wouldn't, until the time that he had his heart broken for the final time when she married someone else. Later on, this girl (who's not my friend anymore because of what she had done to my other friend) got heartbroken with the guy she married, and she wanted my friend back. By that time, it was too late. He already entered priesthood.


myLot reputation of 100/100. Aphroditei_5279 (887)   ranked 6 out of 484 in love  3 years ago

Ouch! It hurts! So sad she realized it to late. I have many friends who are "butterflies" and "roses" too sometimes. And it is so sad that they realized love when it's already gone. Ouch!!! (&&,)
Thank you for sharing Ag! (^^,)

I'd have to say I'm the butterfly, but only droplets would be spilled, so as to sustain us both.:)

ps. sutan provided the butterflies.~:o

Have you ever heard the country song, "I'll be true to you" by the Oakridge Boys? It's a song I cried many a tear over as a teenager.

It is a story of love being overlooked until it was too late. If you'd like to see the lyrics, I found them here. http://www.mp3lyrics.org/... worth listening to if you ever get the chance.:)


myLot reputation of 100/100. Aphroditei_5279 (887)   ranked 6 out of 484 in love  3 years ago

Thank you Paidreader. It is a beautiful song, more beautiful I think with the music with it. I'll search for the music too. A love story so sad but yet so true. Hay!! (^^,~~~

I love this story. I am definitely the butterfly type. I will give a person that i love alone. but i would never sacrifice myself so he would be happy. I know it is very romantic and beautiful as a story. but not in real life.
I did have one relationship that was not so easy, and i found that i sacrificed too much for this person and his love, and nothing was enough for him. not because he did not love me, but because his character was like that. He was never satisfied with what he had. and always said he needs more to be more. in some stage, i looked at my life and so that i compromised too much for this love, and that i am losing myself, and that was the stage that i broke up this relationship.


myLot reputation of 100/100. Aphroditei_5279 (887)   ranked 6 out of 484 in love  3 years ago

I think in real life, it's more on extreme relationships or way of showing love. I had a friend before who wasn't able to separate from her boyfriend, because he said he would commit suicide for her. Jeez! But in the end, he didn't fo it. And I admire courageous persons like you, who knows when to love someone who doesn't love you back is enough. And to realize it and to break up and start as new, is a tons of courage and integrity. Have a lovely day Lirang! and thank you for sharing too! (^^,)


myLot reputation of 98/100. liranlgo (2887)   ranked 42 out of 484 in love  3 years ago
