Love is trust.  Love, is giving someone the power to destroy you completely, but trusting them not to.  If you think love is just a word, then it will be, until you experience it, and believe otherwise.

Love in my mind is good energy. Wether it is between two people or for many it is a part of what makes humankind what it is. \n\nOn the other hand I also tend to think that movies and television have given us a romantic fantasy world of what love should be.  This causes people to meet and think they have this perfect loving relationship very quickly. Then reality sets in and noone is that perfect so things end messy. I wonder what relationships would be if we were not given the impression that they can be perfect.

Ok,  write out the alphabet and number each letter 1-26. (ex. A = 1, B=2, etc.) \n\nTRUE LOVE = 20+18+21+5+12+15+22+5 = 118%\n\nThis means that to find true love, you need to give it your all to find them. And once you do, do your best to make it last forever.

Generally in cinema romantic love is like a theme park-everything is perfect. People aren't plagued by problems, the rides are non-stop fun.  It's an illusion (real theme parks are not that way from the inside). This is why people get the idea that love should be like riding a ferris wheel all the time. Lots of fun.\n\nIn real life, love is like a garden-the end result can be beautiful, but you have to pull a lot of weeds, baby some things, ignore others, basically know what you are doing to get the desired end result.  Sometimes it doesn't work out like you plan, but you end up the wiser for it. It's lots of work, for little result at times-but other times, it is relatively low-maintenence.

What a question!  This is the age old question that cannot be answer by cut/paste from dictionary.com.  People have asked it for centuries, and people have used every medium possible to try to answer it.\n\nThe reason it is impossible to answer is because 'love' is a word created to describe a particular feeling, emotion, or desire.  We as people then turn and try to give a definition of 'love' using as many descriptive passages as possible to describe the feelings, emotions, and desires of love and all we are left to do is recreate the word love.\n\nAll that being said, my descriptive passage to love is:\n\nLove is that inner most, empty, gut-wrenching void, everything that apathy can describe, everything that is, is gone, the place that nothingness begins and ends, FILLED, overflowing with peace, joy, and deliverence from all that is empty and missing, without space to insert a breath, without time it lasts always.  That is love.

"Where LOVE snuffles & grunts, romance only SIGHS..." ~Margaret Atwood\n\nLOVE is continued HARD work. It is the willingness to accept and adapt to personal growth and changes. THAT is REAL love!!

Most people think that love is an emotion. \nI believe love is a thing you do rather than a thing you feel. To love is to care, to care is to do.

It is love, it just may not be the romantic kind.\nit could be love never having to feel insecure again\nlove the stability,\nlove not having to be afraid of being alone..\nStop putting Love in black and white terms..too many shades of grey.

I disagree with your analogy...your love should be never ending, those  who choose to limit what they can offer because they are afraid the heart ache may be unbearable are cheating themselves out of receiving an equal amount of love in return...I can understand what your saying if you give and give and give with nothing in return, but that's just wrong choices, and only you can be blamed for that....One must know themselves well enough to recognize and limit their choices to those who can full fill their expectations, thus live happily ever after, I've come very close...and look forward to soon meeting someone more suitable...which could be thee person to complete my life...I choose to be patient and choose wisely...blessings to you.

i think that the idea of loving and being loved is not the real purpose of life.  personally, i think that love is just a part of it.  Happiness, i think, is the real purpose of life, and therefore balance.  i think that balance is all, you need a little bit of everything...

They say true love surpasses all.  If a man and a woman are meant to be together, no matter what obstacles may come...they will still be together.  That's romantic love and the concept of soulmates, the happily ever after kind of love.\n\nI say that everything in life takes work, even true love.  It takes will power, not won't power to keep love alive and the fires burning.  That's why people commit themselves to each other, to be together for the rest of their lives and make their love grow even more.  Just like the lyrics of a song "I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow..."

Love is the state of mental awareness achieved by acknowledging and accepting the responsibilities, sacrifices, and differences that must be overcome in order to have a healthy and exciting relationship.\n\nLove is often mistaken for the more emotion based thought processes of passion, lust, and desire- which are derived more commonly from insecurity and sexual or emotional needs.\n\nYeah, it sounds like that came from a textbook but those are my own words.

The very fundamental thing we find in love is being liked and be very comfortable in a relation. And this act of mutually impressing each other may not be perpetual. This is where the discretion about true love comes. Its not really necessary that the person who gets irked or infuriated makes you feel not loved. Its the amount of our own patience and understanding we offer in return to his or her mood swings. Sounds tough... But believe me... Its the only way to retain and preserve love. Though love is generated from heart and definitely must not be a product of brain... one must not ignore the subtle hints given by brain too. Not to interpret the cautions in a negative way but to protect our loved one from possible errors and fallacies. Love is a strenuous journey if it needs to be navigated though impatience and misunderstanding. But at the end of the day if one believes that we truly love someone.... any sacrifice offered to make them happy is worthy of all those cherished moments we experienced and enjoyed with that person.

I think the real question behind is do we let fear or love be primary in our life?\nFear has it's obvious advantages like self preservation. It's unseen and not so obvious side effects are a decreased feeling of being alive. It's like pills we take to aleviate an illness. They are great untill we start becoming dependent on them and they start to slowly seep their poisonous side effects into our body.\nLove on the other hand is difficult to live with because it makes us feel vulnerable, not in control and this makes it possible for us to be hurt.\nActually I think it's even worse than that! When we love or feel happy we are going to be hurt and feel unhappy. Life is a cycle like the seasons, like our breath.\nWhen you see life just as that, a cycle, hurt and love complement each other and they are both OK.\nLook, you will be hurt again!\nSo why dwell on it? Why not let the free bird in your heart fly up to the sky on loves wings?
