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.

What won't we humans do for love?  Think about this, love can be transitory sometimes and when we find love we want to hold onto it with both hands and never let go...because what if it went away?  \n\nI'm sure most of us have known "love" in one form or another and I think I'm correct in assuming that a lot of us have had that love taken away.  Whether a relationship ends, we loose a friend, family member or even a pet.  Sometimes love  just goes away.  So when we find it we don't want to loose it and because these feelings are so strong within us it can bring out the best and worst in our behavior.\n\nSo love in any shape or form is a glorious thing but without it in our lives it's truly a great tragedy.

I am in love with my husband and I have been for years.  Is it child love?  Much better than first love and we will always be each others only love!  We are the beginning and the end to each others lives.

Ok....you can't define love as one thing.  Love is something that you feel towards someone or something.  But please do not get love confused with lust.

God, who made us is love, so we as beings made in His image love. It give meaning to life. All the  material things which we have amassed is nothing compared with this intangible thing we call love.

Wow..had to think about this for awhile. Still cannot absolutely point to one thing..at least not one specific thing. The best I could come up with is..her heart. She has such a warm, loving heart that she overwhelms me with happiness, love, and a need to be near her at all times. This might take way too long to explain in such a short forum so I am trying to be very brief, but, it is her heart which makes me love her with all my soul, all my own heart. It also makes me (how to say this politely...hmmm?) want her in every way, shape and form. How's that?

I think it is mistaken to assume that all of us have One True Love.  I think there are many people with whom people can fall in love.  To think there is just ONE person that you would be head-over-heels in love with for the rest of your lives, leads to a lot of other mistaken notions....:\n\nWhat if I never run into that person?\nWhat if they die or we divorce, I'm destined for a life without my ONE-TRUE-LOVE.\nThere's something wrong with this person, we argue sometimes, they must not be my one-true-love.

love is selfless doing for others.  it is an action - the way you treat a person.\n\nlust is thinking about what that person can do for you and how they can make you feel

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.

To me, love is a figment of the imagination and not real at all...People are just hopeful that they will find someone to fill the void in their lives, nothing more.  When they do meet someone, they think that it is love.

What is LOVE? \n\n\n\nLoving another person is not separate from loving God.\nOne is a single wave, the other is the ocean.\n\nContemplate love every day. Loving reflections make the heart grow.\nSurrender to love as a guiding force.\n\nLove never forces. Love is intelligent and brings only what you need.\nThe awakening of true love lies in finding peace within passion and passion within peace.\n\nTo feel beauty is to know that truth. To know the truth is to be in love.\n\nYour marriage is a play of the divine.\n\nTwo souls pretend to be separate for the sheer joy of coming together in love.\nThe highest expression of love is creativity.\n\nLove doesn't need reason. It speaks from the irrational wisdom of the heart.\nA heart that has learned to trust can be at rest in the world.\n\nLove is attention without judgement. In its natural state, attention only appreciates.\nLove is the beginning of the journey, its end and the journey itself.\n\nLove is like water. If it doesn't flow, it stagnates.\nThe mind judges what is good or bad. Love brings only good.\n\nTrue love is here and now.\nWhatever you can remember or anticipate is only a shadow of love.

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
