Love is respect and honesty for the other person. Romance, infatuation and sex are often mistaken for love and wither. But love lasts and grows.

In the words of Tina "whats love got to do with it " lol no there are many levels of love the love a parent has for their child is different then the love they feel for another adult or the love a child has for his / her pet love is one of them things we spend our whole life searching for the meaning and understanding only to go in circles yet we also spend a big majority running from it . But love is supposed to non- judgmental understanding and compassionate as well as forgiving and accepting the person we love for their good and bad quality's love is knowing when to put up a fight or just give in and say OK you know what i think you are right and you can ask a million and 2 people what love is yet you will never get the same answer and that's what makes it one of life "greatest mysteries " as well as one of life's biggest headaches and each person has their own opinion of what love is

Love is in different forms.A father and moher showing love towards their children,A male and female showing love towards each other,a brother and sister showing their love towards each other etc,God has given heart to live,love and to be loved. Particularly taking a male and female showing love towards each other (LOVERS) :
It is a combination of virtues(70%) and infacutation(30%).Virtues here means thinking best,doing best,and always do the best towards each other.
IN THIS CASE LOVE WITHOUT INFECUTATION IS MERE WASTE AND BORING.

From what science has been able to tell us, what we humans often refer to as "love" is, in fact, comprised of a number of different elements.
Pheromones, one of the basic components of smell, are picked up by receptors in the nose and converted to electrical impulses which tell areas of the brain that "here is someone to whom I could be attracted." "The evidence has now become quite strong that humans produce and detect pheromones," agreed Edward W. Johnson of Idaho State University in Pocatello. However, we should note that other researchers say more study is needed to find out if they are as powerful in humans as they are in other species.
Humans, particularly males, are visually oriented, and sights that please us cause what is known as "pupillary dilation" (your pupils dilate when you see something you like).
The parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system which mediates sexual arousal, induces such responses as pupillary dilation. When two people look at each other at the same moment, and both sets of pupils dilate, the result is what some people refer to as "love at first sight." We're reacting to the reaction of the other person, as well as to our own reaction to them.
Humans, particularly females, react strongly to the sense of touch. The outer covering of skin is our body's largest "part." Skin makes up about 15% of the body's weight, and occupies some 21 square feet of surface area. Being touched by someone lowers blood pressure, releases endorphins (the brain's equivalent of opium), and causes many other strongly positive reactions. One report of touch deprived women revealed that only a tiny percent had ever had an orgasm.
Taken together, all of these responses lead to sexual attraction, which affects our emotions, which many people translate as "love."
Yet, humans, besides being rather sophisticated members of the animal kingdom, are also rational and rationalizing beings. True, at times our emotions can completely eliminate rational thought, but most people can, with a bit of practice, overrule their emotions and make rational decisions.
Everyone who has been married, or has been in a long-term relationship, has had moments when they were so angry at the other that they began to question whether they truly "loved" the other person anymore. Where were all those feelings they had when the relationship was young? What happened to that pit of the stomach, semi-dizzy, giddy euphoria?
It's at these points when we need to come to the realization that "feelings" are great, but the real test of love is when the pressure's on and everything seems to be going to hell in a hand basket. This is when we need to remember that love is a decision even more than it is a set of feelings. Sometimes we need to call upon our rational natures, overrule our feelings, and decide to love the other.
In a classic "which came first" question, most people would protest that "love should come first," then the mind will follow. What people mean by this is that feelings of being "in love" should come before we decide that we're in love with another person, a kind of "engage feelings before putting mind in gear." Unfortunately this approach doesn't have a very good track record. When we allow our feelings to dictate our reactions to other people, we wind up on an emotional roller coaster, falling in and out of "love" with alarming regularity.
That's why love is a decision, not "pheromonal attraction," not "two sets of pupils dilating at the same time," and not "I love how you touch me!" When we realize this, we can decide, indeed must decide, sometimes as often as moment to moment, that "yes, I choose to love this person." Put another way: "engage brain before putting emotions in gear!"

love is "when you give your all and give a little more".
it is sweet and still it hurts so much!
it can make you the king or queen of the world- or the most miserable person on earth.
and it's something only the few lucky ones can get completely- maybe because they love what they have...
