What Is the Meaning of Love?
« on: June 08, 2006, 07:44 PM »

The word 'love' is a very common part of our vocabulary. Its use has undergone so many metamorphoses, however, that it is often difficult to understand exactly what people mean when they use the word 'love'.

What is love?

Is it a mushy feeling that makes you go puppy-eyed and malleable? Is it the same thing as sexual attraction? Is it a choice or a decision? Is it forced or an act of will? Can someone love another person without wanting to have sex with them?

Are there different kinds of love? If there are, which is the best kind of love?

When people say they are looking for 'true love', does it mean that there is false love? How is that possible?

Is love sacrificial?

I would like to know what you think.

since there are no real definition of love, you can't say that any definition of love is made up or it's true. (something that you can't describe in word) so , yes you can take definition of love from any women/man,love is whatever you want it to be, but doesn't involve sex or any kind of sex, / Love is when one's emotion on relation with someone else is at high level.

or

love is just a chemical reaction in your brain. I don't see the need to over-romanticize it. But hey, if you can find someone that makes your brain release those particular neurotransmitters enjoy it.

lol, despite of d hi5 topics, from what u understand? Undecided

from what i know is that love isn't just love! love is like a tree of many branches, u know?
care is love, a desire is love, admiring is love, and etc.
i'ts not only as the way the word it'self is, it's got many branches and definitions.
but from what i know is that there ain't true love, that's for real,  Undecided Undecided Undecided Undecided

i must admit i dont believe in love i think it's a figment of the imagination that while in those circunstances you bring up the idea that it is love beacuse you have no other definition for it. I mean with the rate of divorces going is definitly in a lossing battle

So love is one grand deception then? A system of manipulation to make one lose self control? A shadow, a mirage?

How bleak!

u have no idea man. u have no idea.

"Show me a heart without scars and I will show you a heart that has never loved". Is that true?

You sound like a man that has been wounded by love.

"All wounds heal, even though the scars may not be erased. But the scars caused by love often last forever".
