Well, love is different from affection. Affection is what you feel emotionally for the person. Love is something much deeper and special and couldn't just be given to anyone.

Thinking has nothing to do with Love.  Thinking is what prevents Love.  Thinking is how humans end up with emotions like jealousy, envy, sadness,  grief or depression.  No one thinks themselves into Love.\nDo I feel one can really love?  Yep, been there, done that, got the T-shirt and wore it out (the T-shirt, not the love).\nTo what extent can it go?  There are no limits.  Love expands to fill as much as one allows.  Love inspires poems, stories, movies, relationships, the very fabric of society.  Love brings out the best, improves the worst and promotes tolerance and understanding.  Not just between two people, but humanity as a whole.  Lovers usually don’t have road rage, forget their biases and ignore the need for food, rest and often even sleep.\nAnd the strangest thing about love, is just when most give up and start to believe that Love will never touch them,  BLAM, that is when Love usually finds them.\nLove is the greatest mystery in a Universe of Unknowns and Unknowables.

I just answered a similar question. Many people believe "love" is difficult to define completely. I am one of those people. However, I do think these three attributes are *essential* to the meaning of love:\n\n* Love requires that one must be willing to make great sacrifices for the person.\n* Love cannot be established without deep familiarity with a person (which *can* be gained quickly).\n* Love must inspire a person to be better than they currently are.\n\nMany people who claim they are in love really are not. It is common for immature people to say they are in love because they have not had enough of the hard-earned experience understanding their emotions which is required to recognize the difference between love and infatuation.

love is an emotion that afects your way of thinking. it causes you to see thing from a whole new perespective and react to situations differently. you can really explain what love is or know what it is unless you experience it for yourself. when you're in love, you are willing to sacrifice anything for that person's happiness even if it means you can be with them.

love is when u always are thinking about that person, when you've resolved all problems your relationship has faced, when you care so deeply that you would travel across the world just to see that person for a day. that's love

Everthing you need to know about love ........\n\nWhat is love? When we claim that it's love that we have for someone, are we correct? Something to ponder upon..... Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing and is your voice caught within your chest? It isn't love, it's like. You can't keep your eyes or hands off of them, am I right? It isn't love, it's lust. Are you proud, and eager to show them off? It isn't love, it's luck. Do you want them because you know they're there? It isn't love, it's loneliness. Are you there because it's what everyone wants? It isn't love, it's loyalty. Are you there because they kissed you, or held your hand? It isn't love, it's low confidence. Do you stay for their confessions of love, because you don't want to hurt them? It isn't love, it's pity. Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat? It isn't love, it's infatuation. Do you pardon their faults because you care about them? It isn't love, it's friendship. Do you tell them every day they are the only one you think of? It isn't love, it's a lie. Are you willing to give all of your favourite things for their sake? It isn't love, it's charity. Does your heart ache and break when they're sad? Then it's love. Do you cry for their pain, even when they're strong? Then it's love. Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply it hurts? Then it's love. Do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible mix of pain and relation pulls you close and holds you there? Then it's love. Do you accept their faults because they're a part of who they are? Then it's love. Are you attracted to others, but stay with them faithfully without regret? Then it's love. Would you allow them to leave you, not because they want to but because they have to? Then its love. Would you give them your heart, your life, your death? Then it's love. Now, if love is painful, and tortures us so, why do we love? Why is it all we search for in life? This pain, this agony? Why is it all we long for? This torture, this powerful death of self? Why? The answer is so simple cause it's...LOVE. It is such an addiction that even people who are not having it wish to experience and share it with someone! \n\n\ngood luck & god bless

Well to me, Love is a feeling, so yes I believe we could really define love as a feeling... I mean when I fell in love with this one person, this person made me feel things that I could not explain... Like I would always wake up happy, and proud everyday... I would do things that I would never do, why because the feeling of love gave me something to live for... To be loved or to love, is the greatest thing that God has ever given us... It's a feeling inside that no one can bare to describe... I really don't know how to put this, but to me it's just the bestest feeling in the world... I guess in order to actually understand it, you have to feel it within you... Saying you love someone in a way is a different story and in another it does relates to how a person feels... I mean you can say you love them,  but in reality, just like them... But than again if you feel that you love them, and you know that he/she is the one that you love, and that keeps you living than that's love... So yes you can...

Personally, I think love is something that you can't HONESTLY define until you've experienced it. It seems to me like you'd know when you are and when you aren't.

Sure we can all tell you what love is, but I can tell you right now you will not get one same answer. Love means different things to different people. So the meaning of love to me will not be the same as your feelings.

love is one of the hardest words to define because there are so many different deffinitions.  Most people say they love a tv show or they love there pet but i am guessing that the love your asking about is the love you share with a special person.  but to me love is a feeling in your heart, and that piece of your heart has been let free or misplaced to be found again by a stranger.  Love is not for who the person is, it is about the person they become after they fall in love.  Love is a word that describes how much that other person means to you, and for what you bring out in them.   It happens by being yourself.  Love describes a relationship that has each person pulling there own weight, helping each other out.  Love is to be fair and honest with each other, to accept one another as they really are, and work hard to keep there own individuality.  If you have at least some of these qualities, your love will last forever.

A state of being.  One spiritual teacher says, "Love is sharing; greed is hoarding.  ...love knows only giving and never asks for anything in return; it is unconditional sharing."  - Osho\n\nWhen you love someone, it is a state of being that allows you to share whatever you have with someone...or everyone.  It does not discriminate, or separate or possess.  It is a completely different thing than the kind of "love" most are aware of.  I hope this helps.\n\nI wish you Peace.

Although clearly and consistently defining love is a difficult task, and often a subject of much debate, different aspects of the word can be clarified by determining what isn't "love". As a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more "pure" form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is commonly contrasted with friendship, though other definitions of the word love may be applied to close friendships in certain contexts.\nIn ordinary use, love usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience felt by a person for another person. Love often involves caring for or identifying with a person or thing, including oneself.\n\nThe concept of love, however, is subject to debate. Some deny the existence of love. Others call it a recently-invented abstraction, sometimes dating the "invention" to courtly Europe during or after the middle ages—though this is contradicted by the sizable body of ancient love poetry. Others maintain that love really exists, and is not an abstraction, but is undefinable, being a quantity which is spiritual or metaphysical in nature. Some psychologists maintain that love is the action of lending one's "boundary" or "self-esteem" to another. Others attempt to define love by applying the definition to everyday life.\n\nCultural differences make any universal definition of love difficult to establish. Expressions of love may include the love for a soul or mind, the love of laws and organizations, love for a body, love for nature, love of food, love of money, love for learning, love of power, love of fame, love for the respect of others, etc. Different people place varying degrees of importance on the kinds of love they receive. Love is essentially an abstract concept, easier to experience than to explain. Because of the complex and abstract nature of love, discourse on love is commonly reduced to a thought-terminating cliché, and there are a number of common proverbs regarding love, from Virgil's "Love conquers all" to The Beatles' "All you need is love". Bertrand Russell describes love as a condition of "absolute value", as opposed to relative value.\n>r

I think everyone means something different under the word 'love'. I think love is when you want to spend every second of your life with the lucky person, when you accept him/her the way he/she is - with all their mistake (and vice-versa). When you stand by the person through all the good and hard times. This is just very brief - but I hope you'll consider it... So, what do YOU mean by love?

love can't be described in words but i will try:\n\nlove is a feeling. it is complete happiness caused by another person. ir is wanting to be with that person at all times and missing them when they are away. love is nothing more then wanting to make the person happy and to want to give the person the best life possible. it is to want to take all of the person's stress and pain away. it is to trust the person more than anyone else in the world. it is a connection between two people that should be unbreakable. it is never wanting to lose the person. it is willing to spent the rest of your life with the person. love is the greatest feeling ever.\n\ni don't feel like that did love any justice...
