what is the difference between love and friendship?

Answer 1

Love can be built on friendship. Friendship can be built on love.
They can go hand-in-hand. But they're entirely different.
You can make friends, but not necessary love them.
But what is friendship without love? And what is love without friendship?

Friendship is a relationship between friends.
Love is a relationship between God & mankind, man & woman, parent & child, and friend & friend.

Answer 2

"There is an important difference between love and friendship. While the former delights in extremes and opposites, the latter demands equality"
--Françoise d'Aubigné Maintenon (1635-1719)

The difference between love and friendship
by Maria Julia Rostran

For love we we'll go out of our limits,
for friendship we might think about it.
For love we are always willing to give rather than to receive,
for friendship we want to receive rather than to give.
For love we'll give our whole self,
for friendship we give half.
A friend will be there to listen anytime, anywhere,
A love might tell you, right now it's not the time.
A friend will spend 1 hour writing you a simple letter,
A love will spend 15 minutes, if you're lucky, 20 minutes.
You can tell your love "I love you" within the first month
of going out, for a friend it may take a year just to say
"I care about you", and just before you say it you sit down
and think first of all the things they have done for you.
And to help a friend out you think, is this going to be worth it,
for love we don't even think, we just do it.
For love we always have to be impressing,
for friendship we can just be ourselves.
In a friendship after a while we might have nothing to say
but for love there's always something new to say.
A friend is willing to give you a hand no matter how many
times you fall, a love takes the easier way
and just turns its back on you.
And with a real love we are never the same again.
The only same thing that love and friendship share is
2 ways; it's either worth it or worthless,
and we only get to know it at the end.
If we're lucky we'll know how to handle both equally, and
remember everything has limits.

Love is the power, which controls the world. It is something that can’t be defined but we all know that it exists. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness in the world. Love is even stronger than fear and death. It is like a large box of chocolates: you take a chocolate but you never know what its taste is. Sometimes, it is pleasant and tasty but it might be the opposite. Love is the only illness which people don’t want to cure. It is a folly but it also makes our life different and more exciting because this feeling is typical of each human being. Life without love is like a year without spring. Perhaps, love is just friendship plus physical closeness. It all depends on your views.

Friendship controls our world too. For some people there is only one step between love and friendship. Friendship is necessary for surviving in our hard life. There are some things that you can’t tell your beloved. You can share them only with your friends because they will support and advise you. However, friendship is a very controversial symbol. For example, Napoleon and Aristotle were both against friendship and love, perhaps because they make people easily vulnerable. There is a saying: "God, protect me from my friends and I will protect myself from my enemies without any help!" In spite of everything said, friendship takes an important place in our hearts and our lives will be just lost without it and love.

There isn’t a definite distinction between love and friendship. Perhaps it doesn’t exist or maybe it is specific for each human being. I don’t know what love and friendship are exactly but I do know that they are the most exciting feelings in our hard and short life.
