What is love?

Question

http://yahooanswerslove.ytmnd.com/ has some clues. I need more insight.

I don't need emo answers. That gets us nowhere. We all know that factually love has nothing to do with any sort of weird heart emotion - that's just lust or friendship. Not love. I'm specifically seeking insight as to how Jim Carrie and Will Ferrel affect the definition of love (i.e. the awesomely emo-est thing ever).

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Knowing what it is not may help.

Love is not a thing


Knowing Love itself is self knowledge that rises above that which was. What was you is now past you, different. But if love is not differentiated in abstraction, then what guide is there for knowing the love from another. It is not enough that you love, but to know what it is as certainly as knowing all other constituents of human essence: psychology.

Here in summary form: Legend of symbols:

'+' = 'a joining', 'a physical contact', 'will to communicate', generally positive, not negating but positing, positioning, proposing...

'-' = a negation, taking a part, destruction, removal, exclusion, ....

Love without specifying relationship nor act specification: + + + +

Sexual activity: - + + + (the reason for the minus "-" is the breaking down for resistence in the form anxiety (drugs, alcohol, ideology), loveless sex has this uncertainty whereas love filled sexual activity has no such uncertainty or resistence)

Sadism: - - + + (this form of aggression has a psychological component that may described spiritual, superstitious, ideological. One '+' is for this 'spiritual component' and the other '+' the will or urge to get at the victim)

Aggression in the form hostility, anger: - - - + (the pure will to destroy, uncluttered with ideology, higher ideal, the unreality of superstition or supernaturality, no abstraction is possible, it is negated. The last '+' is the physical excertion upon the object, the sole but very limited contact with reality, the victim)

defense: - - - - (the will to escape danger, there is no component for contact, the negation desired is total and instantaneous, immediate, to flee, to avert the senses from the threat, ...)


Emotional feelings are neither complex nor simple in that sense for those words. Are we not a funny species; treating words as if they were the reality for which they are to represent, to symbolize, describe, logicate.... is not the life itself for this self. Love is the evolution for human mind in which it is either selected for extinction, becomes an intermittent or intervaling spiritual phenomena or, thirdly, wins the struggle through philosophical superiority and becomes ego ideal self. It is prudent at this point to suggest the failing of love in self is not shame but horror.


I have to sympathize with lazy thinkers, but.... As long as you know the difference between feeling an emotion and loyalty, no problem. We know the rule for persistence over the temporary; it is reputation, ego ideal, morality.
