Real love, caring for the wellbeing of another person, is so. Love which just wants the other person, for whatever reason, can be just the opposite and cause vicious behaviour.

Yes and no ,
when you follow the love with marriage to your love and have some kids ( hopefully) and care for your family in a way that is best to each member and when you raise your kids to become successful individuals rather than crack seekers and criminals , and when you respect your partner and be sincere to him , then love will be an ennobling force . However when all what you get out of love is orgasm so that you are always ready to kick your lover anytime he or she stops giving you that orgasm then love will become a deteriorating force .

No. Love is NOT a force at all. And certainly NOt an ennobling one at that.

Love is a self actualising process , inherent in people. It is the people who resist that process forcefully. It is like raising dams to stop the flow of water.

Definitely love is an ennobling force as long as it is capsuled with TRUST. Wife/husband, Parents, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, relatives and friends are all the living forces of LOVE. Love with no trust has no meaning and purpose.

No.

If anything it makes a nobleman into a servant. Unless by 'noble' you mean a *****whipped Englishman. Love makes you stupid, you change your entire person, throw out every code, behave viciously with a daft smile. Love is often the source of many a character's downfall. All those who submit to love denounce their agency and live for the other. Whatever that is, it's the basis for the facism of the left and the right, Gandhi and Mussolini.

A nobleman lives beyond its fatal hold. And he might just make love the highest virtue in the kingdom-- while he makes the subjects sacrifice themselves for it, he is above the control of such a self-effacing process.

human nature?
yes. if your that normal. if a part of your brain was destroyed the part of senses then you will never know what is love, your as numb as a lifeless doll.
but since we are all born out of love, we are meant to feel it. share love, give it, receive it all ways and means for free.
without love, our planet would be just a mere rotating mass of nothing, there wasn't a strong field. no reason to be alive. a loveless world is like living hand to mouth.
a useless and lost direction to vacuum. uncertain ed paths, a life of futile existence.
but when love is the center and core... it is the strongest kinetic and potential energy... and all energy ever known.
but sometimes love lead us to misdirection...
because of it too many mistakes was taken, like kings of the past repeated, "many were killed by love! than hate!"... but don't forget, the urge of love drives us all to endless possibility.
its all up to us how we use it, passionately...
whether in a right manner or an abusive and erroneous one.

I had to look that up before I could answer and I guess for some people it is, for others it isn't.
I think love just lets the true heart and mind of a person expose itself. You can see how they truly think and would act. The heart speaks the truth.

LOVE is always right.

In the words of Martin Luther King:

"I still believe that love is the most durable power in the world. Over the centuries men have sought to discover the highest good. This has been the chief quest of ethical philosophy. This was one of the big questions of Greek philosophy. The Epicureans and the stoics sought to answer it; Plato and Aristotle sought to answer it. What is the summum bonum of life? I think I have an answer, America. I think I have discovered the highest good. It is love. This principle stands at the center of the cosmos. As John says, “God is love”. He who loves is a participant in the being of God. He who hates does not know God.

So, you may master the intricacies of the English language. You may possess all of the eloquence of speech. But even of you “speak with the tongues of man and angels, and have not love, you are become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal”.

You may have the gift of prophecy and understanding [of] all mysteries. You may be able to break into the storehouse of nature and bring out many insights that men never dreamed were there. You may ascend to the heights of academic achievement, so that you will have all knowledge. You may boast of your great institutions of learning and the boundless extent of your degrees. But all of this amounts to absolutely nothing devoid of love.

But even more, Americans, you may give your goods to feed the poor. You may give great gifts to charity. You may tower high in philanthropy. But if you have not love it means nothing. You may even give your body to be burned, and die the death of a martyr. Your spilt blood may be a symbol of honor for generations yet unborn, and thousands may praise you as history’s supreme hero. But even so, if you have not love your blood was spilt in vain. You must come to see that it is possible for a man to be self-centered in his self-denial and self-righteous in his self-sacrifice. He may be generous in order to feed his ego and pious in order to feed his pride. Man has the tragic capacity to relegate a heightening virtue to a tragic vice. Without love benevolence becomes egotism, and martyrdom becomes spiritual pride.

So the greatest of virtues is love. It is here that we find the true meaning of the Christian faith. This is at the bottom of the meaning of the cross. The great event on Calvary signifies more than a meaningless drama that took place on the stage of history. It is a telescope through which we look out into the long vista of eternity and see the love of God breaking forth into time. It is an eternal reminder to a power-drunk generation that love is [the] most durable power in the world, and that it is at bottom the heartbeat of the moral cosmos. Only through achieving this love can you expect to matriculate into the university of eternal life.’"

Yes of course,it is, in a true sense.While we quite often tend to use the word "love" quite loosely.It is this partcular word which the mankind has dared not to define,lest it loses its fathomless,boundary less horizons.
True love never brings in hatred,malice,jealousy,it is passion which does it .
