Love is a condition or phenomenon of emotional primacy, or absolute value. Love generally includes an emotion of intense attraction to either another person, a place, or thing; and may also include the aspect of caring for or finding identification with those objects, including self-love. Love can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience usually felt by a person for another person. Love is commonly considered impossible to define.
The concept of love, however, is subject to debate. Some deny the existence of love, calling it a recently invented abstraction. Others maintain that love exists but is indefinable; being a quantity which is spiritual, metaphysical, or philosophical in nature. The views that love does not exist or is indefinable may underlie the fact that approximately 13 percent of cultures have no word for love. The remaining 87 percent attempt to define this abstract concept and apply it to everyday life. Love is one of the most common themes in art and often times is an excuse for " bad art". Some psychologists maintain that love is the abstract action of lending one's "boundary" or "self esteem" to another.

Love is the feeling that you would stop what you are doing just to make someone happier. The feeling that there is nothing you want more than to make that other person happier. Love is when you hold someone as tight as you can and it still isn't close enough. Love is when you care so deeply about someone, that you want to crush the hopes and dreams of anyone who pisses them off or makes them sad.

Love is caring so deeply abotu a person that sympathy becomes empathy. So, instead of just feeling good or bad for someone, you actually feel what they feel. You are hurt when they are hurt and you feel joy when they are happy.
