Everyone seems to label what he/she is feeling for another person as "love", although everyone might be experiencing something totally different. This prompts me to ask the question --- what really is love?:awe:

I think that the wikipedia article about love is the longest one I've ever read completely. And it kinda got me nowhere haha
I asked my nan once, "It's a crazy world, what is love?"
She said something I'll never forget: "I've always thought of it as something very natural and organic. Oh yes, on the outside it's tough, and it's ugly and it's hard... but let it grow naturally and look inside - you'll see it's soft and it's gentle."
I said "wow, that's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard nan. Is that really what you think love is?"
She said "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you said a melon."

I ask myself that one too. Love is such a loaded word that can be filled with so many emotions. How about Compassion, Gratitude and Forgiveness?
Love is not something you just say, its something you do..
Love is a beautiful thing which can feel, can't see...
Love... in all walks of life... in all its forms... COMES OUT NATURALLY :)Quote:

To me, love is when you are willing to do anything and everything just for the sake of that person. Even if it harm you.
Love is why we come to this world and the reason why we leave it.
I think love is made inside our hearts.
Love is accepting someone for who they are and wanting to make them happy. Someone that you can spend your life with without wanting to murder them for all their annoying little habits. The annoying things should make you laugh most of the time.
Its also about putting that person first and not hurting them.
If they hurt you badly-that is not love. Walk away
My vision of love is someone who you care so much for, and have such a great connection to, that you can think of her and it brings a smile to your face most of the time! Not everyone is "capable" of it in a way, but when i think about its really something nice..
I have a male friend who i adore spending time with because hes so fun, im not gay but everytime i think of him i smile because hes so great and funny and almost like a therapist..because we understand each other so well, that we can read each others and break the fourth wall if you will...and thats what love is in big part all about..UNDERSTANDING.
Well i see love as being that way, you love to be with someone and you love them so much that you can put yourself aside and really care and understand for them..someone who you want to be part of you, to have fun with!
I sometimes think of this one girl and id envision it to be so fun to love each other, get drunk, start dancing in a room looking at each others eyes and face and having PURE meaningful fun, to beautiful songs and then laugh, and have a fiery night of sex, and wake up and go to the park and run around, make each other laugh..
lOVE, UNDERSTANDING, PERFECTION...
To feel that feeling...
Sometimes you might envision that with someone and say "you are in love with them" but real love is when both people really understand each other and both want nothing else!
Love is like a mountain, hard to climb, but once you get to the top the view is beautiful.
And when you fall, it hurts like hell.
Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.
Same characteristics as fart.Quote:

I actually imagine love with my eyes as a warm white ball of light, like white transparent glowing cloud inbetween me and the special girl.
"IF I KNOW WHAT LOVE IS, IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU", - more beautiful quotes can be found at love-quotes.com
Love is when your heart is telling you it want to be with that special person. Regardress of mind you know and feel it in the heart.
ditto hahaha! me too!!!Quote:

Love is the only feeling that will put you through heaven & hell.
As i like to describe being in love, its like sliding from heaven to hell.
Love is like a lump of gold, Hard to get, Hard to hold.
Out of all the men I’ve met,
Your the one I can’t forget,
I do believe that God above created you for me to love,
He chose you from all the rest,
Because he knew you would love me the best.
......collected from secretlovemessages.com
“Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart.”
The definition of Love is very wide and i believe as some one says that "Love is the result of appreciating someone's goodness" :)
People want to find the answer for centuries and I think they will keep searching for it. Love is the most difficult feeling to describe but it is also the most wonderful feeling.
Love is amazing. It is stronger than anything and anyone. It can not be seen or touched. It can only be felt in the heart. It gives you wings to fly from happiness. It gives sense to your life. It makes your life complete.
When you fall in love then and only THEN you start to really live and to realize that you have never been so happy before.
It is invisible to the eyes (the eyes can see on only the material world) but "visible" to your heart and soul (they "see" the spiritual reality, the feelings).
Love is what people search for their entire life. Some find it others may be not.
Love is to care about the other, to appreciate every gesture, to hope to see the other person every day, to want the other to be happy, to help (even without being asked), to feel passion, to feel gratitude, to feel all this and many more.
Love is in every gesture, in every look, in the heart and in the soul.
Love is a blessing. Love surmounts every difficulties (every effort of the others to separate the 2 in love).
Love is described in many songs and is still not described at 100%.
“Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.”― William Shakespeare
A few gestures of love may make your heart fly: (i will share a part of my story)
-when he gives me secretly a few lectures (in order to help me)
-when he asks different people about me (what I do)
-when he comes to see me after being informed I was a little sick
-when he feels horrible because I cried the whole night after I understood he was with another girl
-when he wants to know all about me (what I like, what I hate)
-when he looks at me with love
-when he tries to help me even without being asked (for example: when I was applying for a job)
-when he treats good even the other people (then I see how amazing he is )
-when he tells everyone he loves me AND EVEN THAN HE WANTS TO MARRY ME
-when he is getting pissed off just because someone may have looked at me (the poor guy was not allowed to look at me 2 days or more)
-when he ... i can continue until 1000 things he did for me (i know everything, every gesture from the smallest to the biggest, every word I KNOW EVERYTHING he did for me and everything he said about me) and even 1000 times when he showed he cared about me and loved me (still does)...
As you can imagine, I lost my mind on him...(the day i fell in love was the day when he came to see me -i was a little sick).
I have never been loved so much (by a guy). I have never had an "angel" in my life but I must admit the feeling is amazing.
For first time in my life, reality was better than my dreams. Yes, this is love. I have never doubted. I have never imagined it could be so amazing, I have never thought I would meet anyone so wonderful.
What I did not expect was that a few women would desperately try to convince him I did not love him. The worst is he believes them from time to time. They told him I was interested in his money (actually they want this to be true because THEY DO NOT WANT HIM TO UNDERSTAND that HE WAS RIGHT TO THINK that I am the most wonderful person he has ever met). This is not the whole story but it is too personal and I will not share more. I did not reveal myself in front of these people (who are not my friends) which explains why THEY DO NOT KNOW ME. Those who know me like me a lot (i reveal myself only in front of my friends) and know i am a wonderful person.
Love is the most powerful feeling! It can make you live in another reality, it can give you wings and give sense to your life.
As it is a feeling, it is felt IN THE HEART.
A nice quotation: "The most precious things in life can not be seen or touched or bought, they can only be felt in the heart"-Love is one of these things.
It is not possible to describe it... It is important to feel it. The real, deep love for which many have only read or heard or dreamed. It is in the heart (not in the words).
REMEMBER THIS, IN THE HEART/SOUL (this is where you find love).
I wish everyone who dreams for love to find it.
