HOW DOES THE WRITER VIEW LOVE?
The writer's point of view in the text is quite interesting to the reader. The writer emphasis the
importance of waiting than finding love. Finding love will tend to lose love. Some people trying to rush
things, doing things, and later on regretting it for suffering its consequence. The perfect time for love
will come at the perfect time with the person we really love. The person who we share are problems, the
person who, the shoulder is always there to cry on, the person who is not going to be tired of us, the
person who really love us, and the person with “agape love” or the unconditional love.

WHY DOES THE WRITER CONSIDER TAKING TIME

ABOUT LOVE?
Slow is the way to go. The writer wants to secure his heart and feelings when it comes to love. The
writer said “Well, I believe that love doesn’t need finding. We don’t need to find love we have to let
love find us.” And I agree with that. Because at this age some people think that love is essential to their
life when in fact, we can live without love from inform of relations (girlfriend/boyfriend) because we
have love from our family, friends. And all the people who love us.

TO WHOM THE WRITER BASED HER THOUGHTS

ABOUT LOVE?
The writer based her thoughts about love on her family, friend, and even love for enemies where
unconditional love is there. Unconditional love is one of the highest love among love. Unconditional
love is known as affection without any limitations, or love without conditions. This term is sometimes
associated with other terms such as true altruism or complete love. Each area of expertise has a certain
way of describing unconditional love, but most will agree that it is that type of love that has no bounds
and is unchanging.
DO YOU FULLY AGREE ABOUT HER PERCEPTION ON
LOVE?
Because love takes time. Slow is the way to go, keeping in mind that processes are really important
when it comes to love. It is really important to wait than to find love because, in the end, we will regret
finding it. Love will come at the perfect time, in the perfection situation, and with a perfect person that
loves of our life. 

Codependency
HOW DO MANY INDIVIDUALS PERCEIVE LOVE
TODAY ACCORDING TO THE TEXT?
People on this age perceive love by codependency. Codependency are excessive emotional or
psychological reliance on a partner, typically one who requires support on account of an illness or
addiction. Codependency can be defined as a psychological state involving a heavy emotional reliance
on partner, characterized by excessive caring, a constant search of their acceptance and approval, and by
painful experiences as a consequence.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS ESSAY?
The purpose of the essay is to convey people about codependency. Not to really dependent on the person
you love. Codependency can be successfully cured without breaking relationship, but it is important for
patients to realize their problems and to want to get out of it.
HOW DOES VARIOUS REFERENCES LIKE ON-LINE
DICTIONARIES DEFINE CODEPENDENCY?
According to Merriam-Webster online, codependency is a
psychological condition or relationship in which a person is controlled
or manipulated by another who is afflicted by a pathological
condition. Dictionary.com defines codependency as a relationship in
which one person is physically or psychologically addicted, for
example, to alcohol or gambling. In addition, Oxforddictionaries.com
offers the definition of codependency as an excessive, emotional, or
psychological reliance on a partner, typically one with an illness, or
addiction, who requires support.

WHAT COMMON TERMS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH

CODEPENDENCY?
The common terms are associated with codependency are: relationship, partner, dependence, addiction,
or pathology, and characterize this state as “unhealthy”.
 WHAT DOES RESEARCH IN AMERICA TELL US
ABOOUT ADULTS IN THEIR VIEW OF LOVE?
many psychologists claim that codependency is not just about being in a
relationship with a person having an addiction, or who is mentally challenged. Research indicates that it
is a state that is commonly mistaken for love and is typical in most relationships. Thus, 98% of grown-
up Americans who are married or
are in a romantic relationship are considered to be codependent (Weinhold 46). Actually, it does not
matter whether one of the partners has a certain obsession, as codependency develops even between
people who are free from bad
habits.
WHICH FAMOUS CHARACTERS IN HISTORY LEFT
PEOPLE THE IDEA OF CODEPENDENCY?
one of the most widespread myths is that partners should always endorse each
other. Another typical myth is the dream about a perfect partner. One more myth prescribes that partners
satisfy each other’s needs and match all
interests in all spheres of life (Weinhold 422). These and many other myths are supported by mass
culture: popular songs, movies, books, and other media promote this kind of relationship. The same
mistake was constantly made during previous
centuries and perhaps only religious and philosophical movements, such as Christianity, or Buddhism,
had taught people true love.
WHY DO MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT
CODEPENDENCY AND LOVE ARE SIMILAR?
It can be seen that codependency is a phenomenon that is often confused with love, due to the
prevalence of numerous uncritically-perceived myths supported by modern and ancient cultures. Like
love addicts, codependents rely on another person for their sense of self-worth and identity. This affects
an individual's ability to have healthy and mutually fulfilling relationships. Codependency is a learned
behavior that is often a result of growing up in a family with codependent relationship patterns.
HOW CAN A CODEPENDENT PERSON CAN CARRY
ON WITH ADDITION?
This state is accompanied by various painful experiences, such as excessive
jealousy, a feeling of abandonment, repressed anger, insults, and a constant craving for being needed
and recognized. Codependency can be successfully cured without breaking relationships, but it is
important for patients to realize their problem and to want to get out of it.
