what is love?

Question

please correct my ignorance

in my opinion there are only 3 thing important in life
1.physical interact (your 6 sences [i count balance as a sence])
2.mental interation (feelings)
3.the comfort, nurishment, and prolonged time of the two above

so i ask what is love?
is love simply a being confused with strong sence of feeling or is it a feeling of its own?

what is your opinion

Answer 1

love is an act of WILL. it is not a feeling--it is revealed in action. A humanbeing who demostrated great LOVE is Mother Theresa. In every day life, love is best exemplified by parents towards their
children. In a marriage, it is the mutual caregiving, the patience, the concern and hope for the other spouse. It is commitment. It is hanging in there in the face of adversity, disappointments, pain and suffering. A lot of people confuse love with physiological arousal that happens when people are around those they are "attracted" to. That is not Love. Read Roadless Travelled, by M. Scott Peck.
