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. Others call it a recently invented abstraction, sometimes dating the "invention" to courtly Europe during or after the middle ages (though this is contradicted by the sizable body of ancient love poetry). Others maintain that love really exists, is not an abstraction, but is indefinable; being a quantity which is spiritual, metaphysical, or philosophical in nature. Some psychologists maintain that love is the action of lending one's "boundary" or "self esteem" to another. And others attempt to define love and apply the definition to everyday life.

God is Love. Our experience/world is ego mind, a dualistic creation of Love-Hate, Heaven-Hell that is all illusion. Love then is no more important than Hate, or anything else for that matter. Dualism is about balance, one cannot exist with out the other, so be prepared to experience both Good and Bad. It is a fact of this world. Ultimately, God is reality, the alpha and omega. When all that appears to exist has been stripped away, what remains is God. God is Nothing. I am NO-THING.

Love is many things, it could be love for a lover or love of a mother or even love for a friend. With different loves there are different ways to define what love is.

Love is not an emotion.It is beyond all emotions.It's forgetting about your self and thinking only at your loved one. Love is seeing the loved person in every little thing around you.

Wanting to do all in my power to make the ones I love happy. The stronger the urge, the stronger my feelings. Loving a person means you do whatever you can for this person, give them patience, respect, time, care, attention, emotional and physical protection when you can... in short, love is sacrificing something of yourself for other people.

Love to me is the root of all life. Without love, there would be no hate. Love and hate are two catagories of emotions. Without one, there is no other and life would be emotionless. Therefor, we would be nothing but a race of creatures existing on this planet just to breed and die.

Love is a prayer to me
Love is worship to me
Love is a GOD to me.
It is the most sacred feeling of the world.
For me it is greater than God coz I know what God is when I fell in Love
My life began when I fell in Love
