What is LOVE??? (the true thing)?
919418
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

love is a lie, dont believe a word of it they will keep singing this lie if you keep believe it, love is a way for people to do very mean things to eachother and get away with it all in the name of love, love is fake there isn't such a thing the closest thing you'll get to love is having a dog.

love is an emotion that you have, and that you share, and if you find another who is feeling the same emotion for you then you have found it, and only then when you are both truly immersed with in those feelings for each other can you do love.\n\nif this is not the scenario, then it is only make believe, although one person can play make believe while the other is loving pure and true, and this is where heart ache often comes into play with respect to break ups, because those who play make believe either never do it well, or never do it for long.\n\nalso this is why they have the saying that love is blind, because often one person involved in a relationship is only playing make believe with the other person out of selfishness for there desires to use them for love making, however the person loving pure and true is often blind to that fact because of wishful thinking, and there desire to be loved pure and true.\n\nalso sometimes both people play make believe, and this is called using each other, and that cannot be compared to love at all, because that is merely going through the motions.\n\nand I will describe it this way.  If you could imagine having a special rubber balloon device which would cover your tongue, and then you place it over your tongue, it would not matter what you ate for dinner, weather you eat dog dung, or chicken cordon blue and you would never know what it tasted like, and with respect to that rubber device like loved, if you have never loved pure and true with another who has loved you pure and true, then you have never known love at all.\n\nTrue Love comes from with in the heart.

Love is a condition or phenomenon of emotional primacy, or absolute value. Love generally includes an emotion of intense attraction to either another person, a place, or thing; and may also include the aspect of caring for or finding identification with those objects, including self love. Love can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience usually felt by a person for another person. Love is commonly considered impossible to define.

Love means selflessness.What ever that other person is or is not, you choose to love anyway. Contrary to what others may say, you may not always FEEL complete in loving someone. Sometimes result of choosing to love someone can render the lonliest feelings you have ever felt. But love is not interested in instant gratification or results. It is interested in what makes the other person a better person for having been around you. True love is for ever, and does not have a time span. Love sometimes is hard because it means you may have to sacrifice your acceptance and popularity with that person in order to administer truth to that person. Love cannot be defined in what it is, as much as it can be described by what it does, and what its ultimate goal is.Oh, by the way, the most important thing about love; there is also no greater feeling of accoplishment or feeling of purpose that can be had when love has been allowed to mature and stay the course.Yes there are feelings with love, but it is a tiny portion of its results, not an acid test that it exists!

read the passage in the bible: Love is...\nor watch the movie A Walk To Remember. one of my favourite movies and it gives love a whole new meaning. \n\nmy definition of love is thinking about them before you fall asleep or just being able to spend a whole night lying awake w/ them in your thoughts, smiling everytime you see them or get reminded of them, you want to protect them, take away their fears, cherish them, and be with them. \n\nmy dreams i've had about my crush occured pretty frequent but my favourite is the one where it's night and the moon is out. I'm standing there beside him and we're both looking at Niagra Falls together(we we'ren't in an embrace or anything. No one else was around. It was just me and him. the only thing crappy about that dream was i woke up before anything else happend. lol. aww. it was a pretty sweet dream that i would like to have com true. :)

This goes back to the age old question; what is love? well this is my definition: Usually people say that they love someone because the other person makes them laugh; makes them feel comfortable; makes them smile and laugh; makes them feel complete - i tend to say that's not love - that's a self centred feeling. Love to me is when you want to be with the other person beause you want to make HIM/OR HER happy, you want to make THEM feel comfortable, make THEM smile and laugh; make THEM feel complete. Love is more of giving then wanting something from someone. A simple love test: If you took the brains of someone you think you love and put it on another body, would you feel the same? If you would then that's love, because you care and want to GIVE to the person - regardless of looks... more of what's in the inside. So, are you in love? I hope so :)

♥=The most spectacular,indescribable, deep euphoric feeling for someone. \n\nLove is an incredibly powerful word. When you're in love, you always want to be together, and when you're not, you're thinking about being together because you need that person and without them your life is incomplete.\n\nThis love is unconditional affection with no limits or conditions: completely loving someone. It's when you trust the other with your life and when you would do anything for each other. When you love someone you want nothing more than for them to be truly happy no matter what it takes because that's how much you care about them and because their needs come before your own. You hide nothing of yourself and can tell the other anything because you know they accept you just the way you are and vice versa.\n\nIt's when they're the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and when they're the first thing you think of when you wake up, the feeling that warms your heart and leaves you overcome by a feeling of serenity. Love involves wanting to show your affection and/or devotion to each other. It's the smile on your face you get when you're thinking about them and miss them.\n\nLove can make you do anything and sacrifice for what will be better in the end. Love is intense,and passionate. Everything seems brighter, happier and more wonderful when you're in love. If you find it, don't let it go.\n\nOne word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: \n\nThat word is love.\n\n♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥An inexplainable yet incredibly strong feeling for someone...Most people use the word "love" to get into someone else's pants. Love is overused in today's world, people say they love someone because of the way they look or their body. That isn't love. Love is when you can't do anything without thinking about that person, you always want to be with them. It's not that you want to have sex with them, you just want to spend time with them and you just want to hold them and never let go. Love can be fooling, you can think you're in love and it can lead to the most horrible feeling in the world. Also you can wait so long for someone, loving them, and waiting for them to love you back, but they don't return it for a long time and you spend years thinking and thinking and it tears you up inside but when that person realizes that they love you back it's miraculous. Love is a very strong word, don't overuse it.

true love is that thing when you dont know how to express your feelings for them.  you will know inside that it is true love. if you feel that your heart beats faster and slower at the same time then it's true love. if you feel you are always happy, it's true love.

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...

True love is difficult to discern but I can tell you this: true love is faithful, it's patient, it's loving the real you, loving you in the good times and the bad.  It's honest and open, and it's long-term.  You will carry their spirit with you when they are away and they yours.

I don't think that is true love. True love is mutial between you and him. How do you feel about him? True love really is a very very deep emotion and usually very complicated. How do you feel about him? That's the question.
