I love you infinity” means someone loves you so much that it cannot be counted by finite numbers. People use this to show that their love cannot be defined by simple words. Its actually too much to count. Another beautiful phrase is “I love you unconditionally”, this means that people love you for who you are.
Nathan Scott once said,
”Someday, this beach might wash away,
the oceans may dry,
the sun could dim but on that day,
I’ll still be loving you. Always and Forever. I promise you, Haley.”
Back to reality!
Do you think infinite love exists? Is there a happily ever after forever? Is there a love which transcends through time and dimensions and stays till eternity?
‘The simple answer is that love is not infinite‘ (Of course not…) – not in any meaningful way. No matter what axis you use as your measurement, no matter what perspective you look at it from,no matter what equation you use, love is not infinite.
“Always and forever” is a metaphor. It’s common to use ‘forever’ and ‘infinite’ to define ‘very, very large’ dimensions. Think of love as a form of strength and time as a duration. Infinite strength could (theoretically) exist during a finite duration. The only things that wouldn’t make sense is a duration or a strength that’s simultaneously finite and infinite.
Time, love, dimensions..all so confusing, right?
Let’s just get back to the basics.
“Love you from minus infinity to infinity.” Well, that’s something someone madly in love would say. But, do they really mean it? Can one love someone for eternity? The answer is NO.
It’s limited by time; if you were to fall crazily in love with someone and then have no contact with that person for decades, your feelings could and almost certainly would wane, if for no other reason than people change over time.
Speaking of change, I won’t be the person I am 20 years from now. Neither would any of the people I will love. This effect is even more predominant when you love someone you have lost contact with. Your image of that person remains frozen like an insect caught in a web, but that person continues to live, grow, and change out of your sight. When enough time has passed, you love a fading memory of someone you once knew, not a person. You don’t even know who that person is now, and you can not really love someone you do not know.
And finally, love is limited by death. You loved nobody before you were born and you will love no one after you complete your days on this planet.
It’s not poetic, but there it is. When the universe dies, there will be no human emotion left.
Instead of saying “love you from minus infinity to infinity” , it would be better to say “Love you with all my heart(beyond Infinity)”.
Basically, the analogy here alludes to Sartre’s section on the Other and the Look. Here’s an example that he raised himself:
Out of curiosity, I peeked into my friend’s room through the keyhole to see what s/he is doing. However, after quite a while of peeking, I kept feeling an inkling that someone is watching my act of peeking. It is a feeling of discomfort, on the unconscious realisation that someone may be judging me negatively based on the clandestine action that I made. Sartre calls this ever-present state of being watched the Look.
This feeling does not only surface itself only when someone does something worth of guilt. It is ever-present, even in crowds, open spaces, and in your own house. Only when one is totally convinced that no one is present will this discomfort fade away.
Once this discomfort fades away, one behaves as s/he wills. There is this transient sensation of being in complete control over your own actions. For instance, by locking yourself in your own room, you can even strip yourself ***** and dance wildly without ever feeling regulated.
Now, back to the quote. Throughout his works, Sartre greatly emphasises the primacy of radical freedom and condemns the repressive forces of the social realm. In other words, Sartre champions an authentic return to the self - being uninhibited by the Look and the Other. In lieu of this consideration, the reverse would be the extreme vice for him, namely, bad faith. The Look is the primary cause of someone’s falling into bad faith. Hence, he describes this domination of others on the self in the social world as “Hell” - the place where the vice is practised against the will of the people incessantly and intensely.
Putting it in laymen terms, we are all afraid of being judged negatively by others, and hence we are never in total control of ourselves as long as someone else is present. Even if no one else is present, we will still have a lingering feeling of the presence of other people unless we are sure of being physically isolated from others. We can never escape being influenced by what we think of others’ thinking of ourselves in the social world.

What does true love really mean? In order to figure out if you’ve found true love, it’s important to first understand what true love actually entails. Essentially, true love means that you have an unwavering, unbreakable and unparalleled fondness and devotion for your partner. It's also defined by an emotional as well as physical connection with him or her that runs immeasurably deep, and life without your significant other would be practically unthinkable.
What are the signs of true love? If you’re unsure that what you’re experiencing is in fact true love, it’s important to look for these eight essential indicators.
You care about this person unconditionally. A tell-tale sign that you’ve found true love is that you absolutely and undeniably adore your partner with no strings attached. In other words, no matter what circumstances may befall you and through good times as well as bad, you support and deeply care for this person. Unconditional love is at the very heart of what true love means and entails.
You fully accept your partner. An additional indicator of true love is that you understand and accept your partner for the person who he or she truly is. You’re not trying to change your mate, fix him or her and/or turn him or her into a different person. Rather, you fully accept, appreciate and adore your partner, flaws and all.
You can talk about anything. When you’ve found true love, it means that you can candidly and honestly discuss anything with this person. True love implies that you’re completely truthful with your mate, aren’t holding back different aspects of your past and are able to fully open up to him or her. You share an intimacy that’s emotional as well as physical, and your loving connection is stronger because of your willingness and ability to be open and vulnerable around each other.
You’re completely yourself with this person. When you’ve found true love, you’re able to be totally authentic with your partner. You’re not pretending to be someone you’re not, feigning interests, passions or pastimes and/or acting in a way that doesn’t reflect the real you. Being yourself in your relationship is essential to experiencing true love.
You respect each other. In order to experience true love, it also means that there’s a high level of respect, kindness and compassion between you and your partner. You can empathize with one another, see each other’s point of view and are able to resolve conflicts and squabbles in a way that’s constructive and respectful of each other’s well-being.
You have similar values. In order to experience true love, your morals and values have to be aligned with those of your partner. While you may have your differences, such as where you grew up, your religious background or simply your obsession with football, true love means that you’re on the same page when it comes to distinguishing right from wrong. In a word, having similar principles is a principle component of true love.
Your happiness levels feed off of each other. If you’re wondering if you’ve found true love, it’s important to pay close attention to your true feelings and emotions. Does making this person happy make you happy in return? Does surprising him or her or doing favors for your partner give you a rush of joy as well? When you and your partner both have a mutual desire to bring happiness and contentment to one another, you should be happy to know that you're experiencing true love.
You’re a team. When you’ve found true love, it means that you’re fully committed, dedicated and devoted to each other. With true love, you and your partner work together as one unit to enrich each other’s lives for the better. And rather than behaving in a selfish or egotistical way, you think in terms of “we” instead of “me.” When it comes to true love, your mate is really your teammate.
