Accepting and not judging another person for anything. Sharing in their joys and pains in life. Wanting happiness for them more than you want it for yourself. Giving without wanting in return.

Love is undefinable. It's different for every person and there are many types of love.
Recently National Geographic did a study on romantic love and how it's affects the brain. Studies showed that early relationships created a chemical reaction in the brain, releasing dopamine -a chemical that "creates intense energy, exhilaration, focused attention, and motivation to win rewards" but in couples who have families or who have been together for a longer period of time the chemical the brain produces is oxytocin - one that gives a sense of rewards, comfort and home.
Is love simply a chemical reaction or are the chemicals created by the emotion? It's a sort of paradox. I don't think we'll ever really understand it. The best we can do is enjoy it.

Love is a many splendors thing. Love exists on so many levels. Between family siblings, Friends, religious Icons & us, Pet animals. Usually associated with a warm feeling surounding our heart. There are many other discriptions of the feelings involved. Everything from confusion to jeloucy. [A 62 yr old Grandma] Angell C.

Love is a state of being. It's being able to be yourself without apology. It's free, fun, painful and exciting. Love just is and when you experience it, It's one of the GREATEST feelings in the world.
To be in LOVE, REALLY in LOVE, is FOREVER. Love NEVER dies. If someone has ever told you they love you and then left you for someone or something else, it was never love, just lust. But don't be angry by this, thank that someone for freeing you to find "TRUE LOVE".

Is the perfect feeling. Sometimes hurts, sometimes make you so happy you almost feel like getting crazy; without love , is just an empty space in your heart. God is Love....and He loves you!!!!!!!

When you know from the bottom of your heart, the back of your brain, the bottom of your stomach, the end of your fingers and toes, you just know that this is right.

love is.....
not how much you can get.
but how much you can give.
it's not about giving up but holding on:
not about how you say. i love you:
but how you show it's true.
love is .....
what we all live for
and we don't realize it till we've found it
love, love , love , love everybody need it very much....
