There are nearly as many opinions on love as there are people who love. William Shakespeare is often credited with penning a tale of two people whose love will live on through the ages and burn with the intensity of a thousand suns and all that good stuff, but I disagree with that analysis. Romeo and Juliet is about two teenagers who find themselves infatuated with one another. They are the personification of young love. I know from experience that when one is infatuated, they assign ideal qualities to that person. Friar Lawrence's words on the subject of love are consistent with my own views. I agree with the Friar's statements, because in my experiences I have found them to hold true.
Friar Lawrence is trying to caution Romeo of the dangers of falling too quickly into love. The Friar's line “These violent delights have violent ends” illustrates the main idea of the quote. In it's simplicity, it cautions that when one loves at first sight they risk their love ending just as quickly. I have seen this to be the case in my own life and the lives of those around me. One will also recall the devotion that Romeo had for Rosaline in the early parts of the tragedy. This infatuation was not reciprocated so when Romeo met Juliet and found his feelings returned, he soon forgot Rosaline altogether. I would have to argue that Romeo's feelings were heightened when he found them returned. Furthermore, I would also have to argue that Juliet's unwilling engagement to Paris might have led to her strong feelings, as Romeo had become her savior.
A part of the quote that I found to hold a deep meaning is “The sweetest honey is loathsome in its own deliciousness.” I have found this to be literally true and figuratively true. Moderation is the key to a happy balance in all things, whether it be exercise, indulgence in one’s appetite, or in love. I have found in my own relationships that the qualities that had drawn me to certain people also led to my alienation. When this is true about a lover, the effects can be multiplied. Had the story not ended the way that it had, one could imagine Juliet coming to hate Romeo's worship of her. It is this same principle that  forces people who had once loved one another to come to despise each other. The Friar cautions Romeo to love moderately, but this is not the same as withholding love. The Friar knows that Romeo will love Juliet longer if he restrains himself and does not fall in love too hastily. Though it sounds somewhat cold, the Friar is trying to make Romeo learn of the true Juliet and facilitate true, powerful love and not simple infatuation. The Friar  demonstrates a surprising amount of insight and wisdom in matters of the heart I am compelled to agree with him
