Is it possible to love someone too much?

This question was put forward by @truthabides, a question that pushed us to define what Love means to us, that got us to challenge societies idea of what Love should be. We have grown up in a world that has distorted what love really is, in a world that tries to categorize and label everything.

Where romantic love is placed upon a pedestal and the act of loving those around us is pushed aside by fear. Love is not something that can be contained or owed. Love just is and it is how we react to love, how we try and own it that causes problems, that is too much.

Each member that responded to this question, shared their own unquiet point of view which really helped to paint a beautiful picture, of what Love is and how important it is to embrace it and release it out into the world.

Is it Possible to Love Too Much?

@riverflows

These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder
Which as they kiss consume.
The sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness
and in the taste confounds the appetite
Therefore love moderately
Long love doth so
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

Fire. Gunpowder. Honey. Sounds like a lovely recipe for love, doesn't it? Throw in some more ingredients. Fireworks and sparks, oh boy. Nothing like it. And the sweet, sweet honey of love - how we crave it and long for it, and wish to return to those first moments where we revel in deliciousness of the first peachy flushes of a relationship. The first sip of an expensive wine. Romeo and Juliet were on that one - young lovers with their hearts a-fire, ready to throw all-in for love. To die for it. In his age and wise benevolence, the Friar gives a lecture that the young teenagers simply ignore, in the way teenagers or those in love do.

Is It Possible To Love Too Much? TribeSteemUp BiWeekly Question

@trucklife-family

What is love ? Is it this thing we crave and seek, putting so much of our time and energy into trying to find the one, to find real love.But in the end all this energy takes us away from what love really is.
We can become obsessed, by what we believe love should be, chasing after an idea, full of expectations and desires that we so dearly want to be met. Fuelled by the world of Hollywood and this notion of happily ever after.As if we can even really define what love is, place it in a box and contain it. Keep it all for ourselves,

Love is not to be contained or chased after. It can not be caught for it is not ours to own. Love is limitless and free, love just is. It is something we should give and receive freely, yet fear holds us back. Fear of losing what we love, fear of losing ourselves in love. This fear stops us from experiencing what love is all about.

Excessive Love: Too Much of a Good Thing? - TribeSteemUp's Bi-Weekly Question

@stortebeker

Once again it's time for an interesting question by @tribesteemup. This time it's about love, and whether there can ever be too much of it. Is it possible to love someone too much? At first I would immediately reply with a resounding no, shaking my head enthusiastically. How could there ever be too much love? Then, after pausing for a moment, I realize: the matter is way more complex than that. After careful deliberation, I would even admit, that yes, indeed it is possible to love too much, though you could probably argue that it's not the quantity, but the type of love, and whether it's appropriate for a given situation. So let's take a close look at what love actually is:
