Do we love people for their good side or in spite of their bad side, all their flaws and mistakes?

Love is one of life's great mysteries. Many people think that they have regularly figured it out. Few of us have really had any idea. Many of us are a bit honest with ourselves and really do think that we are just going to go with the flow, just to see what is going to happen out there. But when we care or even love someone, we can tend to have the blinders put on with a lot of flaws. Often to the extent of really being naive. Of course, it could be that we are blind or we are seeing something that no one is in. When someone has such a connection to people, they can see both the good and the bad within people. It is just a combination and one that can lead our heads to spin. There are many sides to every person and just when you think you know someone, we do learn something that turns our life upside down. But we see both the good and the bad and we appreciate those close to us more than that.

Simply put, love is merely and emotion. It is not a science nor a miracle. Emotions are created by the mind. Everything we do and feel is created by the mind. It is all chemical.

I consider that if we love someone we do it for everything that person represents,with all its good and bad parts.It's obvious that nobody's perfect,so I don't believe there is a person on this planet who is 100% good,that is an utopia,so while we certainly appreciate and cherish those around us for all the good aspects they show,we must also learn to accept their flaws and tolerate them if they aren't very big,of course;after all,they must try to do the same with us,so this effort has to be reciprocal in order for a relationship to function properly.

When you love the person you take a risk. Eventhough he/she made mistakes if you still love her/him you just go on and let it forget the pain when did something to you. That's a Human response we have this side that we fell sympathy oftentimes It really doesn't matter the past but it really matters the present because this is the chance to feel that he/she has a place in your heart. "No matter what"

I think we love people for both, for their good side, because if we don't see any good in them, if we don't see anything we like in them we can't love them. It's also true that we love them in spite of their bad side. Everyone has at least one thing that we don't like about them but we're able to look beyond that, deeper, to see how they are and to see that little thing it's part of who their are. It's what makes a person special, the combination of qualities and flaws.

I think if we love someone we feel a connection. We love them because they look like us or they are someone we are afraid to be. So we look upon them and he/she is our hero. What is good or bad depends on the person. I think mostly we love someone who is good to us, no matter if that person is bad to someone else. Why? Because we are (if we love) able also to see the good thing (the inside) of the person we love. We are less eager to judge, we have faith and believe in that person.

If we truly love someone we accept every part of them. We enjoy the good and we tolerate the flaws. I think sometimes it's easier to love if we limit our time with people and make it a priority to be on our best behavior with each other when we're together.
