I think the emotion itself is the outward or biochemical manifestation of harmony.
In fact, Harmonic Resonance is the best way to describe love.
When to atoms or atomic particles resonate in harmony or with a common frequency, they act in similar manner.
At the biological level, love is the biological or physiological manifestation of Resonance.

We can either tune into it, or in the case of parent and child, it comes as the default setting.

In the case of the universe, we can say that love pervades the universe, since particles do seek and find resonance with other particles.
As it is above, so it is below.

I hope I have made a little sense.
Lol.

So close. You're just so close bro.

Why is there, on aggregate, a tending towards harmony and resonance - and not chaos?

To make a very long explanation Short, I would say The laws of mathematics.
Mathematical relationships such as ratios, numerical and geometrical ratios determine the level of harmonic resonance between to particles.
I know one is tempted to invoke some kind of supreme consciousness to account for harmonic resonance.

Also, it is not entirely true that all tend towards harmony .
Rather, we focus on harmony, as opposed to chaos, because it is the harmonic interactions and bondings that give stability, a measurable amount of stability to the universe.

For example, we focus so much on matter and the attributes of matter, stable matter , while almost completely ignoring antimatter, its unstable and chaotic opposite.

I have made up my mind to stop arguing about all these religion issues,it leads no Where. But take a look at this man,and tell me What you think about him. Be right back with the story.

How would you describe a man that sits you down with very hot fire he created beside him,telling you: you know What? You see Dat fire over there? I created it,and It's very hot,But I don't wish you to go into the fire because I love you,But I still created the fire. Here is the deal,I know I gave u ur freewill But I don't want u to do ur will But mine. I want u to love me and do everything I say So I can be happy,But just incase you don't want to do my will,that fire over there is waiting to receive you(smiles) ,I am not forcing you to do my will ooo and I am not interfering with ur will at all ooo But I created that fire over there to torture you If u don't do my will,you see that i am not interferring at all,But I am not forcing u ooooo yet I created a very hot fire to BURN you for eternity,you see that I am not forcing you,don't think that fire is a threat against your will,see that fire as my anger for u not obeying my will because I love u and I love u enough to see you burn for eternity. Tell me who do you know loves as much as I do? Who else is as caring as to see his children burn in hell for eternity as me? You see that I am the Most caring? THAT'S my boy. Now the decision is yours, love me or burn in hell for eternity,Which one do you choose?

that's what I tell people. God's love is conditional unlike my mum's love which is unconditional. god's love is selfish,all about him. please me and I will do this for u,disobey me and I will do so so and so to u. a mother's love is pure,even when u wrong her she still wishes you well and stll loves u. she forgives you before you even apologise. and no matter the crime she can not harm her child. she gives things to you not bcs u love her or worship her but bcs she love you selflessly and unconditionally. (not all mamas tho)

No.

Ok So how do you want to explain it?
Wrong question. If you had asked: how do you solve it then', it still would end up as a tautology, judging from my premise, that is.

The right question is: what do you mean? To avoid derailing this thread I suggest we open a new thread where you explain have you arrived at the non-existence of God while I answer any question you ask in the process. What do you think?

Love is a spirit expressed through a transparent soul in harmony with God.

If you see love, would you recognise it? For example a mother shielding her child from gunshots and bullets, would you say that is love?

Love is patient.
Love is Kind.
It does not envy.
It does not boast.
It is not proud.
It does not dishonour others.
It is not selfish.
It is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

God is love.

"Love keeps no record of wrongs". Really? Then why does God have a book of death and a book of life?
Re: Let's Talk About Love. by Kay17: 6:53pm On Nov 06, 2014
jearile:
Love in all entirety (kinship, philia, eros, agape) carries the very nature of God and if God is not the one controlling you, definitely not love but something else will usurp your emotions.
So without all contradictions, it'd be a misplacement of intuition to think of love without first acknowledging God - This is beyond religion. We grow in love each day in as much as we draw closer to God each day. The seed of Love sprout its fruits - forgiveness, kindness, meekness, patience, selflessness, giving etc. How can you ask him to just forgive somebody that raped his daughter and as if that's not enough, you now say I should also bless (speak well of) that person? How can you ask her to forgive and still care for her husband after she contracted HIV as a result of his waywardness? These and many more most of the time does not actually make 'sense' to the common man but it takes only a life controlled by God to be controlled by Love.
So "Let's talk about Love" is like saying "Let's talk about God."

but would you say Agape is equal to Philia? if not what makes them both "love"?

Misogynist2014:
Love is a choice, though you can have emotions for someone, but you can only choose to love someone. The same way you chose not to love God.

Do you think such definition is whole and satisfactory?
Re: Let's Talk About Love. by Sunshinelady(f): 6:57pm On Nov 06, 2014
Kay17:
yes, but lets find the basic nature of love which binds kinship, friendship, romantic desire and self emptying together as Love before we talk abut the action of Love. Since love comes from within man, and it is not primarily a function of our rationality, it has to be an emotion or an instinct.
. How can u reduce a whole body of love to just an emotion? Noooooo. U r wrong! Its just like callin a pot of soup 'just oil', wen dere are oda sweet condiments dat join to make up d soup includin d oil
