i want to see love defined in your own words.
what is love to you? put it any way you deem fit.

RomanceLanders, what is love?

valmunich: That butterfly feeling in your heart

willbob: Love is a strong feeling of desire and affection for somebody which could lead to minor mental drifts and complications. Love connects between the brain and the heart. It is sometimes associated with blindness. Love is wicked. Love have led to increase in psychiatric wards.

LogoDWhiz: Love happens when the tots of someone else encompasses your mind.
You always think of the person, you can sacrifice yourself for the person.

The wellbeing and and care of the person becomes your duty.

You have this added responsibility for someone else.

See, love can't be defined jor.

One thing for sure is that, it starts out as a crush, then d likeness increases. If its mutual then, things can lead to love.

It becomes love when u truly fall in 'love' and u continue to grow in love, through thick and thin.

donroxy: Love is the extreme level of unconditionaless emotional attachment you have for someone or something which only few human are capable of attaining and fulfilling !!!

Beennkumar: I think it's simply a feeling of deep affection for someone or something, as the case may be.

valmunich: That butterfly feeling in your heart

It's called Infatuation

Pdizzle: This reminds me of those short documentaries where they ask people what is love, like the one in 'orange is the new black. I plan to do mine some day, maybe its nairalanders I'm even gonna put in the video.
For me love is a journey.. You two just have to keep going in the same direction..
Love is patient..
Love is kind..

MizMyColi:

Are you saying there'd be no love, bar emotions?

MizMyColi: Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast;It is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends. (ESV)

Might I also add, that there is no fear in love and there is no love in fear.

donroxy: I don't think so ..... It begins with the ''emotion'' ........ What is your meaning to emotion ?

MizMyColi:

Wikipedia deals with this exhaustivley:



While I agree with you, that it does begin with an emotion more oft than not, especially in romantic relationships.
You'd agree with me, that alot of things in those lines begin with similar emotions, for example, lust, infatuation.

I would that young people everywhere, begin to look at love as a decision rather than a feeling of sorts.
This tends to becloud our judgements and sense of rationalism.
Which is why you get to see so many irksome ills in society today, all in the name of love.

donroxy: These are mere attributes of Love .... You haven't defined ''LOVE'' itself .... And this is exactly what bring many relationship down !! .... Cuz you will be expecting it not to be arrogant , fearful , envy , boastful, resentful .... Whereas :

A girl/guy can still ''love'' an abusive relationship .... Love doesn't require perfectness (Another area many people get it wrong) .........

Somone said, "Love is not about loving the perfect person, but loving the imperfect person the perfect way.
Does that resonate?

We have seen girls who have much tingy for the bad-dude than the caring one and we all wonder why ?

Love is a quality and unconditional ........ For better for worse right ?

donroxy:

Please I would love to have ''your own'' understanding of ''emotion'' next time not wikipaedia's !

There might not be a next time.
Sometimes, when you lack the words to express a thought process, referencing is never a bad idea.
Besides, I bet you, that your own definition of emotion, even if I 'm yet to read, is covered in wikipedia's definition

There is thin line of difference between lust,love and infatuation and that is why majority of people have been unable to find true love because the difference is not easily spotted even by experts .. (infact, most relationship expert don't even have good home ) ..

What brings the confusion is that all these concepts have ''emotions'' as the basic factor underlying them !

There's no confusion in love, if it's love, there's no confusion.
Which is why I maintain that Love is Beyond Emotions.
We need to stop putting love at par with infatuation and lust.
That's an insalt to the greatest force our universe has and will ever know

In my own understanding of emotion :

Emotion is a feeling that is biased in nature thus compromise good judgement ... That is why we tagged some people ''foolish in love'' how could a guy plaster your face like this and you still crying to go back ?

Lust is conditional i.e you have something that actually attracted you to such person e.g beauty,physique,money , sex skills etc and where those factors aint no more or you grow tired of them then the fire goes with it but Love aint like that ......

Exaccerly
That's when Love becomes a decison.

Infatuation is simply addictive expression of feelings and when one has this burning desire to always express love then it can also lead to infatuation !!

glitest: Love...Can't really explain love; basically you just feel it.

Tallesty1: Love Feelings is a changeable and unreliable emotion

FiXED!

God is love, remember
