Accepting means allowing ourselves or letting ourselves be loved. When you use the word deserve a person who possibly has low self esteem, may feel they do not deserve to be loved. A lot of girls and guys remain in relationships where they get treated badly because they think they do not deserve to be treated better. Also these same people can make the same mistake over and over by staying in these abusive, unloving relationships. Some people think they can never get anyone better than the person they are with because they are not confident enough of themselves. I can’t put myself in their position yet, not having not had any serious relationships of this kind yet. My friends are pretty cool and none of us put each other down in any serious way. If you can see yourself as being a good person who may be smart or athletic or whatever you will not accept someone who treats you poorly or wont love you like you should be.. Some people beat up on themselves too much and don’t think they deserve to be with a nice girl when they really do! It is important to love yourself and not be so critical because no one is perfect, not even the other person. You have to show everyone that you are worthy of love before you will actually get it. If you have low self esteem, you will let people walk all over you because you think you can’t do any better. I find this very sad and a terrible way to go through life.What most people don’t realize is that true happiness comes from inside you and it is the way you feel about yourself. Some people always need compliments to feel good about themselves so they want their partner to constantly say nice things to them. You need to be happy and like yourself first and then no one else will try and take advantage of you. At least you can hope they won’t. Loving other people is just as important but it is hard because you don’t want to get hurt by them either. Why do we accept the love we deserve is a quote from the book, The Perks of Being A Wallflower. I think all kids should read this book and maybe they won’t end up in bad relationships when they are older. Actually, it would help them in high school too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your blog Keon. A lot of people will stay in bad relationships because they love the person they are with too much. I know a lot of people who beat themselves up because they don't think they belong together.
DeleteReading your blog definitely made me think about some the things i have been through, and i can relate to this so i agree with you completely. The people who are broken have low self esteem get taken advantage of by the person who feels powerful and thinks its okay to teat them poorly. Its not okay, but we feel as if we "love" the person so we accept what we think we deserve even if it isn't and we deserve way better.
Deleteim definitely on your side about what you said and it made me think a lot about myself and how I can do better.Accepting means allowing ourselves or letting ourselves be loved was the thing you said that made me think cause I now think I can be a better person. this is why I agree with you
Delete"We accept the love we think we deserve" what I think this quote means is that if you think that the amount of love is the amount you want you'll try to keep it consistent. Like for example if someone what's to loved by a person but not in a sense that, that person wants to date he/she then that person will try to keep the love the same. Also to me it means that if your mean or a bully that person has to accept the love that society gives them, and that's tough love. What this quote means to me personally is that if i'm being a complete jerk to someone I can't expect to get good love back, I have to accept what they give me. This quote can kinda relate to the movie "Real Steel" because the little kid doesn't really know his father and the father has an attitude towards everyone. So the kid isn't accepting the love he thinks he deserves till the middle end of the movie.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think the quote “We Accept The Love We Think We Deserve.” means is that if we don't love ourselves, then we won’t accept that others love you. This quote can relate to my life because I’ve seen many people who have been in a relationship that ended up going really bad and they think that they will never find love again. What they don’t know is that if they can just accept the fact that it didn’t work out, they could find someone special to them that they think they deserve. Also, this doesn't have anything to do with love but a problem that I have is that whenever someone compliments me, the first thing I will always say is “No I don’t” or“You’re Probably Lying.” The reason I am like this is because multiple times I have heard people say things about me and never falling in love. We all need to just follow our hearts and try to find that special someone that we deserve. This quote was also from the novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower and I think that it is a book that many of us can probably relate to in one way or another.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alexis because this quote can be explained in many ways. And he way she explained it was in away that is true. Especially since you can relate it to relationships like she did. This quote can be tied in many situation.
DeleteI can agree with alexis on her opinion on this week's quote. I know people who have had bad relationships in the past and they end up thinking that they will never find their true love. If they don't lose hope in ever finding love then they can finally open there eyes and be able to find that true love. Alexis is right on when she says to just follow our hearts to lead us to who we hope will treat us with the love we need.
DeleteI agree to what your quote says. I thought that also if you love yourselves you will get love from others. I also believe that a lot of world leaders become in power because they love everyone in that country and hope that they okay.
Delete"We accept the love we think we deserve." What I think this quote means is that we as humans want to accept love because we think we deserve it. For example when I did something good I think I deserve a reward for my work. What it means to me personally is that humans want love even know we don't deserve it. It is just like a dog who peeped on the floor and it wants praise even do in something wrong even we people know better we still give it praise. Just like in "Night" the German deserve praise for for sparing some Jews lives even know they followed blindly to a lie. No matter what humans want to be praise for something that we don't deserve. For humans existence as a toddler we always want to be praised by your parents. Life is just about some praises and worship because of something that we done. Also this feminists is just crap for example a woman who stay with an abusive man is called feminists I don't think so at anytime she could leave and file a divorce but she stays with him despite he abusive man and want love that she deserved because he love her. If these feminists think they deserve equal rights I agree but I don't agree that she should stay with a man that hits her that is here own fault for not leaving him in the first place. And if this truck a nerve it should have so I don't want to hear it it is there fault for not leaving him.
ReplyDeleteSomeone once said," We accept the love we think we deserve." This could mean so many things to anyone. To me this is like if someone has low self esteem and they get treated poorly by another person they love and they think that person loves them, they accept how poorly they get treated. or instance, if they have low self esteem and you treat them like crap they might think that they deserve it. They may feel as if that's the best they can do and n matter what that's as good as it gets. I know many people including myself who have felt like this or have been in this situation. I was in a relationship with this guy and yeah he made me happy, but he put me down more than i deserved. He would call me names and pick on me about my flaws. He would humiliate and embarrass me in front of ours friends. I honestly for the longest of time thought if he was treating me like this i must deserve it. I was holding on to someone who he wasn't anymore. I accepted his type of love because i felt that was the best i could do, I had low self esteem and i guess he could see that. He took advantage of how broken i was knowing i would accept his type of love. I talked to my friend and finally it got through to me that i deserved better than that. I didn't deserve his type of love where i get hurt the whole way through the relationship. I look back now and can't possibly fathom how i let him treat me like that. I thought i loved him at the time, but how can you possibly love someone who treats you like dirt? I was being ignorant to think that a relationship like that could workout.
ReplyDeleteWe accept the love, we think we deserve.” This quote can mean many things, and it all depends on your opinion. In my opinion, people today just put themselves out there. They don’t have any respect for them selves and they think that nothing will happen to them. If you just have self-confidence you will find someone that likes you the way you are. If you don’t respect yourself, you won’t find someone that is respectful. We just think we deserve love, but you shouldn’t deserve it if you aren’t willing to do the right thing. We should all learn to love our selves before we do anything that we will regret. If you learn to do the right thing for your self, you will end up finding some one who cares. Someone that will treat you the way you want to be treated in a relationship. I think the key word in this quote is “think” , we think that we need a relation ship. We think we love some one. We think a lot of things, and sometimes what we think is not good enough. There is no reason to think that you are never going to be in a relationship. What I think we do, is we put our selves down. We make it seem like we don’t respect ourselves, and don’t care what people think. Personally, i think that if you don’t care about what people think about you, you are going to have a hard time growing up. Yeah, they always say, don’t worry about, what other people see you as, but you should. You don’t want everyone to see you as a girl that sells her self out. We should not accept what is offered to you , accept it only If it means a lot. Only if it truly means something. If you accept it just to look cool and impress your friends, your only hurting your self. That person may end up hurting you really bad and you will never be the same again. They could have changed your life and you will never be the same. I can’t find a book or a movie that this quote kind of relates to but, in the movie LOL this girl tried so hard to be with a guy because she wanted to fit in. She was mostly wanting to do this because all of her friends had a boyfriend and in the end he ended up hurting her. She wasn’t the same. Overall, this quote can mean many things.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything you say
DeleteThere is a lot of things this quote can mean. What I think this quote means ids that everyone should love everyone in a sense of caring about them and making sure they are okay. For a example you should never hate your sibling or parents because they did something to you because when day they might not help you with something. And this doesn’t just refer to your family but to anyone. That’s why I always try not to be mean to anyone and be very happy when I’m in school or just anywhere. This quote means a lot to me. It almost the saying I live by “If you respect everyone and love everyone, you will get anything you ever want” And this is how I am. I think loving everyone is a key to happiness. But it is hard to for give every one like people you kill innocent people for no reason what so ever. But you don’t know them. Do they deserve a life in jail? Why must certainly they deserve that. But they could have a awful life like being beaten or bullied or just completely insane. So it is 50/50 the way you can see this almost.
ReplyDeleteA good example of a man that had no love for a group of people was Adolf Hitler which goes along to the book were reading “Night” written by a man in a death camp and survived, Ellie Wiesel.
Hitler killed over millions of Jews for his hatred towards Jews. If there is anyone that needs help was Hitler. He had a alcoholic father that abused and his mom had pass away when he was young and was left with his father and two sisters. Also he tried to enter a art school but one of the proffers there was a Jew and told Hitler in the worst way that his art was terrible. So this could of bin the way his hatred towards Jews could of started but there is no proof that this was it. Do I believe that he should be dead? Must certainly. So I forgive him? It would nearly be impossible for me to. So that is what I think about this quote and that if you hate someone try to forgive them and they could help you out in the future or can get you discount at were they work or something cool like that because you wouldn’t have to spend that much money on things they could get you.
We accept the love, we think we deserve.”
ReplyDeleteto me I think this is saying that you don't accept things that you don't think you deserve. maybe cause you think you are better then everybody else . or maybe you just know they aren't right for you . there could be a lot things why you don't accept things . I know that if some low life scumbag tried too date me I would know I don't deserve someone like that . I deserve some I could take home and be happy with and always make me smile . someone that I would marry and have a family with . someone that I would take home and love and have love for me like I do them
I agree with Lex because most people don't accept things that they don't deserve. If you think your better then anyone else then and just be rude to everyone then your not going to get the love you want. Or think you deserve. That's why I agree with her.
Delete“We accept the love we think we deserve.” I think this quote means to choose your partner carefully. If you give a lot of love and kindness you deserve the same amount of love and kindness in return. If you put in no love and no respect into any relationship you definitely do not deserve love back. Whatever you put in to it is what you should get out of it.
ReplyDeleteI think the quote "We accept the love we think we deserve" means we only accept things that we think we deserve. Even if we don't really deserve it we will always want the best or want something we think we deserve. Especially if that thing we "deserve" we can not have. For an example it could be a job position such as manager of a company or being the boss of the company. It also can be a relationship or any thing you think you deserve but probably do not really deserve. Something you can learn from this quote could be is that if you think you deserve something that wasn't given to you. You either have to work harder to get what you deserve or what you want. Or you probably can not get what you deserve or love. Sometimes thing are not meant to happen. Another thing you can learn from the quote is that if your trying so hard to get a promotion and you don't get it during promotion time and you quit you probably did not deserve the promotion because you quit just because you did not get the promotion. Another thing you can learn from this quote is If you say you "deserve someone" you probably don't deserve them. A finial thing you can learn from this quote is to not be stuck up. Try your hardest and do not act like you deserve anyone or anything. Be the best you can be and work to your fullest potential and then maybe you can consider yourself lucky enough to be deserving of someone or something. Once you reach the hardest you can possibly work and the best you can possibly be then you will be deserving of what you want but only then by being the best you can be will give you want you want. Sometimes even that will sometimes not get you want you want or "deserve." Whether it be love a promotion a new gadget or even a better grade at least try your hardest work the hardest you can and be the best you can be. I can relate this quote to my life because when I was younger I used to get pretty bad grades. My grades usually were in the seventy range and eighty range. I never really cared about school but I always thought I deserved better grades. Even though I did not try that hard in those classes I always thought I deserved better grades. That was in the 8th grade. Now this year i decided I was going to try my hardest and not back down. this year I haven't fully lived up to that but this marking period im started to live up to that.
ReplyDeleteA wise person, whose name is not listed in the entry of this blog, once said, “We accept the love we think we deserve.” This could mean many different things to many different people. What I think it means is we do the things we think are the right things. This quote is talking about morals. Everybody has their own morals. Morals are the things that you think are right and wrong. You could think that robbing banks is a good thing. That is your moral. You could also think that smoking is a good thing for you. It all comes down to your morals. Whatever you think is the right decision is all based on your morals. For example, here is a life situation. Your friend tells you about these illegal things that you really don’t want to do. You and your friend are doing some illegal things out in public. The cops come by and you both start running. Your friend gets away, but you get caught. Do you take the blame for your friend, or do you tell the cops it was him? Based on my morals, I would not take the blame for my friend and rat him out. He’s the one that wanted to do it, not me. Some others will think that is the wrong thing to do, but to me it is the right thing. That is what I think the person that made this quote is trying to explain.
ReplyDeleteIf I could relate this quote to a book or movie, I would relate it to a movie that I saw which name I forgot. How it went was there were these two kids, around 9 or 10 years old. They were playing out in the snow on a snowy January afternoon. They were trying to see how many cars they could hit passing by with snowballs. One kid takes this giant snow boulder and throws it up into the air. It ends up hitting the car and breaking the windshield. The man gets out of the car and chases after the two kids. The kid that threw the snowball got away, but the innocent kid got caught. He went by his morals and took the blame for his friend. He got in a lot of trouble, but he did what he thought was the right thing. That is what I think the quote means.
To accept the love you think you deserve, you're stable enough to not try harder. I think this means that people give in too easy and should push themselves to not settle for less, because if you put your mind to something, you can achieve any goal. Although most people have probably given up on a goal they've strove for, it feels good when you accomplish something that you've had a desire to do. Instead of accepting something that you "think", you should accept something that you're 100% positive about. Personally, this quote can relate to me because even though I work for my goals and success, I've accepted something because I thought it was right, but it wasn't. For example, seeing a beautiful girl that deserves the world go after a boy that isn't worth it, you wonder what about the guy that they're settling for? It all comes down to having self confidence and that you should always think positive about yourself and to try and make the best decisions. But with low self esteem, you'll continue to let people walk all over you, thinking you can't do any better. But in reality, that's where you deserve the world and someone that will treat you right.
ReplyDeleteA book that refers to the meaning of this quote is the beginning of Romeo and Juliet. Juliet start's off the book as a genuine, considerate girl that didn't want love or affection at the age of 13. But, Romeo was the complete opposite of her. He wanted love as fast as he could get it. A wife is what he wished for all day and all night. But during the beginning of Act 2, Juliet's character in the play changes drastically. She falls in love with Romeo and instantly wants to be married to him, but still keeping the rules in which she wants him to love her and not use her. Juliet thought that the she deserved the love she accepted, but at the end, they both end up killing themselves. So, was the love they both admired really worth it? If Juliet stuck to her values and morals, she wouldn't have chosen Romeo, and the lessons that were taught in the book would be opposite.People shouldn't always give into what they think so easily, dedication always leads to success if you put your mind in the right matter. You deserve only what's best for you, but only you will know what's best for you.
This is what I think of this quote.
Someone once said, “We accept the love we think we deserve.” This quote could mean many different things to people. Like that we think we have fallen in love but we actually haven’t. But to mean this quote means that how we view ourselves is what love we should get. For example if a girl is like in love with herself and believes that she is the most important person who ever step foot on this earth, she is going to try and get the hot guy who is just as sallow. But say there is a girl who doesn’t find herself important or worthy of anything, she is going to go for the guy who treats her like that. When someone good actually comes along who is actually in love with this girl and cares about her, she would most likely not even view him as someone she would date. In her mind she would believe that some jerk is the best she can do and accepts that love instead of looking at the nice guy because she doesn’t view herself in a positive way but rather in a more negative way. And I know people do this all the time. I remember a movie I watched called The Perks of Being a Wallflower and there was this boy who saw this girl and madly feel in love with her. The boy never tells her and he just watches after she dates jerk after jerk. The boy is a freshman and the girl is a senior but they are friends. But friends is all she views him as because he is a nice quite boy. And she was a freshman the upper class men would get her drunk and do things to her. After that she never viewed herself as someone who would date someone who actually cared for her. She just dated jerk after jerk. She got cheated on lied to and more but never went for anything more. She accepted that love cause she thought she didn’t deserve anymore. Also her fathers friend raped her when she was a little girl so that also made her view herself less and less. And even though this boy was madly in love with her and would literally go to the ends of the earth to be just in the same room as her, the girl couldn’t see until it was too late.
