Personally, I measure love with the amount of conditions that go with it.The more the conditions the less value that goes with it and vise versa. On a different topic the only wreckless behavior that might compromise my future is lazyness and idiotcy. Lazyness might inhibit my willingness to study during college such as for classes or the ACT. That could lead to failure in obtaining a degree and other complications , all things that could cause me to put on a brooding face and to have a glomy life in the future. Second wreckless behavior as said earlier is idiotcy. We all do dum things is life that affect us, and that is one behavior that could compromise my future. Those two behaviors are things that might compromise my future. As to how this relates to the quote I have no, no idea.

As humans we are not perfect. We all fall short and make mistakes. It is smart if you learn from those mistakes. I believe that if you are honest with yourself and you need to change somethings then you can do that. You have the power to admit you need to change and better yourself.

i view the quote and statement the same as you. if the love has alot of conditions its not real and the value of the love decreases

Ask young adults we are still a growing manor. Mistakes are going to be made, things are going to happen that you like or dislike, its up to you on how you take your situations and handle them.However, honesty is the key to everything, being able to contribute your honesty to others will gain you lots of respect. I believe that if your honest with what you do, towards others and yourself you will be worry free. Knowing yourself and your our flaws can better you down the line of growing up.

I agree with this quote , because the best way to love is to love with no limit. Love cannot be measured, it is a feeling not a quantity or an amount. You feel it inside yourself and even though many writers have tried nobody has actually ever properly described it my opinion.

Ruben Rojas

4/14/2015 08:16:17 am

My view of the quote is different from yours. Its is different in the fact that I say you should love with a certain limit, loving someone too much is a bad thing. While you say that the best way to love is without limit. The reason I say we should have a limit is because those we love a lot , we let them get away with a lot of things. For example parents letting there kids do whatever they want because they can't say no to there children who they love so much. That and other things is why we should love with a limit. Love is simple yet complicated. It is sometimes a simple piece of yarn and sometimes a yarn in a tangled ball which is untangleble.

Aaron Richardson

I agree with portley. Love is not measured in any kind of way. Emotional can't be measured

Tiara Jackson

4/14/2015 12:57:37 am

If you love someone yes, you love them unconditionally meaning without a limit. As young adults this quote is tested. We don't realize the true meaning of " I love you ". When you love someone you show it with your actions as well as words. I personally agree with this quote because the best love is love without any limits. Sometimes a person can't hurt you over and over and if you love YOURSELF the best thing to do is let them go , vice versa.

hannah julius

4/14/2015 03:40:39 am

I agree, a lot of young people do not know what love is. Just because someone says they love you does not mean they mean it. Love is an action word. You have to put action behind it. To some people love is just a word, to others it has meaning.

Keonta Runnels

Honstestly alot of us dont really know what love is. They say they love you but they really dont and end up hurtin you. Love is suppose to be unconditional. We need to really understand the true meaning of love. Were at the age now to know what it actually means.

Briesha Luckey

4/15/2015 01:08:11 am

I've dated them, I've called them my boyfriend and I told them that I love them , but in reality, these are just my strong feelings for them. I measure love with the amount of conditions Also, because the more conditions the less value. Love is supposed to be unconditional, with no limits, no pressure. When you love someone uunconditionally , you can't imagine life without them or not being around them, you want to cling on them forever until "death do us part". Furthering along, wreckless behavior that may compromise my future would probably be my strong mind and being too blunt at times. Because of what I have seen in my life among men, I have no exceptions , I am very particular of what I want in a man and how I would like to be treated, and this may push the man that really loves me away. Being too blunt can lead to arguments between me and my partner, and that is the last thing that I want. God is really working on me about being blunt but as far as men, i do not care for a man or husband right now.

The statement is saying there is no limit when it comes to love. Love is with all not just some.

Ariana Hughes Crockett

4/15/2015 04:04:11 am

The measure of love is to love without measure because if you measure love that means you really don't love a person. Many people think they love someone but they don't. When you love a person that means you can't live without them. So i feel love shouldn't be measured because that's not love.

Courtney blair

4/16/2015 02:14:01 am

I agree with Ariana, because measured love means you really don't love that person because love shouldn't have a limit on it the live isn't true.

Bazille Banks

4/17/2015 11:58:47 am

I agree with Ariana because real love is unconditional, timeless and infinitive. Love is like the population. Once it builds up, it will do nothing but continue to flourish, so to love with limits is to not love at all.

Ariana Hughes-Crockett

I agree with Antwon because its true love is a feeling not an amount of what's done.

Cassidy Wilder

I agree with tiara Jackson , if you love someone unconditionally you will do anything for them not for the measure because if you measure then you never loved a person from the start .

4/16/2015 01:27:31 am

Love has no measurement....at all. If love has a limit then you don't truely love, if you often get in trouble and your mom disowns you, how would you feel? That's that limited love, you say it but you don't truly mean it. Explaining any wreckless behaviour should be easy, you gotta talk to someone about your problems. Whether it be your counter part or your best friend, someone is getting the info about what you're going through.

Courtney Blair

4/16/2015 02:12:12 am

Love can not be measured because we are humans and we are not perfect. The love that you have for someone should be unconditionally, having a limited love means that you really don't love that person. Because if you do the measure of love shouldn't matter.

The most you can love someone is to love them without measure. In other words if you can measure how much you love someone or something then you can love it or them more. However, if you love them without measure then you love them infinitely. Being true to yourself is mostly importantly.

There is no measurement to love because when loving someone its a none stop thing if its really true love. Having a limited on loving someone is not real love its just feelings. But, many people really don't know what the really true meaning of love is they think its just being with someone and doing things together.

Arreon Rose

As a human person we always do the wrong thing in turn it to the right thing.Mistakes are going to be made, things are going to happen that you like or dislike, its up to you on how you take your situations and handle them.

Love is a strong emotion. if you love someone unconditionally the love has no measures. actions that are took upon this thing we call love can result in something terrible. your future can be ruined over the person you love

Aaron Richardson

4/16/2015 04:51:00 am

Love is unconditional. Love can not be measure in any Circumstances. Love that is based upon condition is not true love.

Demetrius

4/16/2015 09:19:12 am

I agree 100%. If you don't love a person unconditionally, you don't truly love them. You are in a state of mind in which you think you're in love. This has happened to many of people.

Demetrius

4/16/2015 09:17:56 am

I agree with the quote. True love is unconditional love. Anything else is not true love. Feelings, emotions can change as quick as seehell kg a new person that attracts you. When loving unconditionally no other person rather than your spouse truly attracts you. Over thinking has been a reckless behavior for myself lately. I don't know how it would compromise my future, but I'm sure it can cause a great amount of stress. This stress resulting in negative impacts on myself or my success.

DQ Adams

4/16/2015 09:46:56 am

I feel as if I have a lot of love in my heart. At times I make decisions but it doesn't mean I don't still have love nor kindness in my heart. Sometimes these are mistakes. I said sometimes because every bad decision isn't mistake if you meant to do it. All in all nobody is perfect

fatima

4/16/2015 11:38:29 am

If love was measured that means you don't have love for the person at all. Having love in kindness in your heart can sometimes hurt you, because the person doesn't appreciate it.

Hakkius Smith 4th Period

4/17/2015 12:56:06 am

If love was measured, it probably wouldn't be considered love. Because most people in the world have hard times with love meaning that if it was measured most people would have low measurements, or none at all. If love was measured it would probably be no love because people would think that it will be a challenge in the end. But some can still love without measure so they're the ones who would benefitbthe most if it was measured. When it comes down to conditions, there are some that will benefit love and there are some that will on hold it back. Some conditions are meant to be because certain conditions can improve love rather than make it hard.

As young women and men we make a lot of mistakes and sometimes its alright to make mistakes because that's the only way you can learn. But the real task is to learn from your mistakes and always do better then what you did the first time.

Daniel Kirk

4/17/2015 02:11:18 am

Wells is right because by making mistakes that's the only way u can learn from it , that go for older adults too . But you just have to learn from it and move on.

Michael link

4/17/2015 02:40:12 am

I agree with wells because nobody perfect God made us like dis so we could learn and become better and to better our self

Okeitha

4/17/2015 01:26:45 am

In other words if you can measure how much you love someone then you can love them more, however if you can love them without measure then you love them infinitely. Also, it should be obvious the way to decide what the limit of your capacity to love is!

James walton

4/17/2015 01:36:13 am

Now of days people don't really know what love really is. People date somebody for 2 weeks already be in love. You don't have to love nobody people think just because you go with somebody you gotta love them that's not always true you gotta gain the love

Daniel kirk

4/17/2015 02:08:14 am

I say love does have a limit because now days people really don't know what love is. First off we are two young to love anybody anyway because we really ain't been through nun yet in life to love someone like we say we do. 2nd as young man and women we makes the more mistakes in life by doing stupid things but that's the only way we can learn. So it can go either way you want the love to go.

Princese thompson

4/17/2015 12:59:49 pm

I agree with D KIRK because , if you do tend to make mistakes you will know how to grow and move on in life but being stuck on one thing can put you in a bind. Love is a complicated thing that can't be learned and shown over night but it takes time .

Michael magee

4/17/2015 02:38:38 am

I agree with this quote b cause of you truly loved someone you whould go beyond measures to love them even more. Love has no measures because people die over love evrey day

Brice Thompson

4/17/2015 03:46:11 am

love shouldn't be measured and should be unconditional. if you got to keep doing things for the person to keep loving you then its not real and its only measured by the things you do for them, but dont love too much because at the end of the day your not the only and thats just how it is no one is perfect there's always going to be taking your kindness for advatage.

Cameron Carmichael

To love without measure is to love to the max. This means there is no limit to your love. With no limit you give your all. It is a good thing and a bad thing. You either feel good or get hurt. But it's up to you to know what to love and not to love

Aundrea Holden

4/17/2015 11:36:43 am

I agree w/ Big Hearne 100%, there should not be a limit to your love. If you truly care for some one your feelings about them should not have any limits. You won't know if you'll be hurt or not unless you put yourself out there!

The only wreckless behavior I have that can compromise my future in a bad way is my laziness. Yes I do my work in class but sometimes I just have those days I don't feel like doing anything. I know I will have to work on that by doing things I don't want do no matter what I wanted to do instead. Our generation in general tends to have their lazy days especially at school, but we are all growing and learning to break that bad habit bit by bit. Although, I can not blame my laziness if it compromises my future negatively, I can only blame myself for not breaking that habit and doing what I need to do

E. Davis

4/17/2015 09:43:19 am

I agree with joe because I don't always feel like getting up the next day but yet im getting up trying to get ready for college.

Keylan Grayson 3rd

4/17/2015 08:46:49 am

I agree with Joe, we all make mistakes and it's the human thing. And if we admit to and be honest to our mistakes, then having unconditional love shouldn't be hard. Wreckless behavior can also play a part in your future because whatever happens, you have to be ready and willing to deal with the consequences.

E. Davis

4/17/2015 09:42:04 am

As a human , we tend to let our hearts overdo themselves. To love without any measures means to love at ALL costs. Given that love is never free, this is where we have to pick our poison. Expenses of love are not always cheap. A wreckless behavior of mine is also overthinking minute situations. This goes hand in hand with humans overdoing love. We take love way too seriously. Therefore , to love without any measure, is to love with all costs.

Maria Tello

4/17/2015 10:37:16 am

Love does not have measure in any way. I think if someone truly loves someone does not think on the measure of their love because they know that love has no measure. If someone claims to know how much he or she loves to another person, that person probably does not know what love is. I personally have to feel love for someone to say "I love you", because if I don't feel what I say, I'd be lying to myself. For example, I tell my family that I love them, but I do not have a measure of love for them because I know really I love them regardless of all our differences.

Aundrea Holden 2nd Period

4/17/2015 11:27:03 am

First let me start by saying WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES & NO ONE IS PERFECT. Right now as teengers not every choice we make will be correct in everyone's eyes. But, as young adults I feel as if everyone knows what they need to work on regardless if they admit it or not. To be completely honest no one really know what love truly is, just what's portrayed on social media. Why put a limit on love? What do you have to loose? Love is unconditional and should be cherished, problem in this generation.... everybody's afraid of it and what people think.

Bazille Banks

4/17/2015 11:51:40 am

If there is a limit to your love for someone, then you don't really love them. According to the bible, you are supposed to love everyone. You don't have to like them, but you have to love them or it'll be like bathing in sin. You can have love for someone and not like their actions, and this fine. However, you must remember that even you have flaws that some one may not like about you, so be careful not to appear as a hypocrite.

Princese thompson

4/17/2015 12:41:01 pm

Having a limit on love when in a relationship and or friendship can cause many problems and cause people to wonder even if you do love them . But having unconditional love for someone means you are willing to go through the knives and thorns for that person or thing . Making mistakes is a part of life , you live and learn . No one is perfect so when you love someone make sure you know the difference between real love and playing around . Because if you have to question or think before you do for that person or thing it isn't real .

Juan De Leon

4/17/2015 01:18:22 pm

Love can't have a limit because the only way you can really love a person is by loving every single thing about them. Sayinh you only something to a certain point means that you will only love temporarily. Once they reach a certain point then you begin to dislike that and that is not the way things should work. You should understand that nobody is perfect and that everybody has flaws, including yourself.

Cameron Carmichael

4/17/2015 02:44:56 pm

Personaly love is all about understanding a commitment..cause to be in love people are obligated to be commited to one another through all times good or bad. And a wreckless behavior that i notice in my life is procrastination. Wich if not controled can will ruin my opportunities in making anything good in my life of things i need to take care of fast.

Carvellion horn 4th

4/17/2015 02:56:33 pm

I agree with this statement love is unlimited it goes forever that's why you can't measure it. If love didn't exist the world would be filled with more hate, war, chaos and no one could live with each other. The meaning of love to me is loving someone no matter what their faults, or mistakes are because no person on this planet is perfect. "Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own"-H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

carvellion horn 4th

I agree with bazille the bible does say you are supposed to love everyone even if you can't stand them or don't like them because love is infinite.

Derrica Anderson

4/17/2015 03:47:05 pm

Love is supposed to be unconditional. Reckless behaviors that could potentially compromise with that would be to love or be loved because of benefits or the current condition. For example, some individuals claim that "love" someone only because it benefits them in some sort. People also express their love for others when times are good, but rarely when there's conflict. Sometimes, something drastic has to occur, such as you or the other individual getting injured or almost losing a life, before any love is displayed. If love is really "unconditional" then that's a shame..

Kyshawna Thomas

4/17/2015 04:04:26 pm

Love is unconditional, at least it should be. It is a feeling that can not be simple explained because there are countless numbers of definitions. To love someone unconditionally you have no limits to that love. Therefore is these limits cause for you to become wreckless and jeopardize your future it isn't unconditional love. It should benefit both and not be one sided. Some people mistake love for other things, because when you love someone that is the person you see yourself spending the rest of your life with. So it is unconditional and the only way it can lead to wreckless behavior is when that is lost. And the things that could lead me to that dangerous path is bluntness and procrastination. So love unconditionally and stay on the path to success.
