Summary Response – “Real Love: What Is Real Love”
Dr. Margaret Paul, in the article, “ Real Love: What Is
Real Love”, describes how people can feel real love. According to Dr.
Margaret Paul, people who love themselves and others feel real love. If
people are eager to get love from another, it will not lead to real
love. People should give love to others more than get love from others.
People tend to want to get love from others. However, People who
focus on being loved cannot give love to others. People who keep
focusing on being loving themselves and others can have real love.
In sum, the author describes that being loving is the
important to feel real love. I generally agree with the author that
being loving is the best way to get real love. However, it’s hard for
people to get out of feeling that they want to be loved. If people are
easy to love themselves and others, there’s no trying to get real love.
People have to try hard to get real love. I’m concerned that people
want to get real love because they can’t get it, even trying.
