Here comes the topic which is attached to everyone. All of us are somewhat somehow related to this discussion in some context. The topic is love. After all, Love is the word we are all connected with and every individual has a different perspective and whole individual scenarios. Let’s see what are some of the views when they were asked about the greatest paradox of love.
What is the Greatest Paradox About Love?
People Opinion:
K.P. Gill
The paradoxical nature of love is evident in an ambiguity built right into the English word “love.”
On the one hand, to love is to be in the grips of an especially compelling form of desire. In this sense, when one loves someone — whether family, friend, or lover — one wants to enjoy, possess, or otherwise find gratification in that person.
On the other hand, to love is to place an especially high value on the life of the beloved person, to care intensely, even to the point of self-sacrifice, for their happiness and well being.
When we love someone, each of these alternate meanings is at play.
But as anyone over the age of fourteen knows, and as a good portion of the world’s art and literature attests, these twin goals of love are frequently at odds with one another in the most tragic of ways.
Therein, precisely, lay love’s paradox: love is both a drive to satisfy oneself and to serve another, to receive and to give — love is equally self-assertion and self-denial, self-expression and self-transcendence, the simultaneous expansion and effacement of the self.

Ah, love. Such a great feeling, yet such a heart-breaker at times.
We all crave love in our lives. We might be lucky to have parents who love us, but what about lovers?
The one you love probably loves someone else.
That’s the paradox.
Maybe you do love each other, but bound by memories, social pressure, and inner doubts, you may never approach each other.
8 billion people in the world, 1 person made for you. And what’s more, you might be lucky enough to have that person somewhere near you in your life. What are the odds?
But because of fictional boundaries in the mind, it’s a shame you’ll never meet.

People feel in love and more people feel they are compromise.. love is everywhere, in the air, every sight and every sound. I read about love paradox arises from two seemingly opposing claims, 1. the intimate relationship which is based on love and intimate relationship involves romantic compromises. Like romantic love is everywhere these days whenever you listened to music, whatever you read love occupies a central place in peoples expectations and wishes but remain unfulfilled, great disappointment and profound pain and they can be brocken..
2. Romantic compromises give up romantic value, freedom and intense passion on partner, it takes place when entering into marriage, a compromise choice of partner we may discern two major perspectives of romantic compromises: (a) yearning for a better possible alternative, and (b) accepting negative aspects of the partner and the relationship. Yearning for the possible is the dominant perspective prevailing in the first type of compromises, as giving up romantic freedom essentially means giving up alluring alternatives. Such yearning is especially intense when the negative aspects in our current relationship are significant. In compromises concerning choosing a partner, the yearning for the possible is still dominant but the issue of the negative features of the partner gains more weight.
