what is love?

Question

why do people "need" love and do you think people are getting to obsessed with this so called "love"

Answer 1

Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.

Answer 2

Love is a spiritual force, that combined with body chemicals, produces a reaction in our bodies and our souls.

The common feelings associated to this reaction are constant thoughts towards the loved subject person/object/place/etc..., accelerated pulse caused by these chemicals (adrenaline starts pumping), stomach ache or twists, dilated eye pupils, and many other feelings that may manifest in different ways according to each subject.

We don't need love, but love can makes some of us feel better, it can even be used as a healing force, (proved to work).

In my opinion the media and major businesses are responsible for creating exaggerate "needs" in every sense, they have professionals that know about humans and human behaviour and psychology, so they know how to attack us so that we become vulnerable and depending beings, of course in their benefit and their profit, without caring about the people's wellbeing. One of these is the obviously love issue...so we just have to be a little less driven and listen to our own inner voice and do and LOVE exactly what or WHOEVER makes us happy, irregardless of what "moral society standards have been established" whatever it is.... as long as we don't harm anything or anything else.
A bit complicated taking in consideration how things are being done today....in the whole world.

It is a crazy world, but at the end we are very simple and we can live with very few things... hopefully unconditional and uninteresed love will be one of those things we will never lose, even if the world explodes and we have to move to a new planet and start all over again.

Answer 3

love is more than a feeling it is a commitment. Feelings are fleeting and to many people obsess over having "that feeling". They expect that feeling at all times and that just isnt possible. This is why divorce is so high.

Loving is staying the course through anything (abuse being the obvious exception). Work things out, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, putting the person you loves needs above your own. THIS IS TRUE LOVE. Love is caring so much for someone you are willing to make sacrifices for them. If it is symbiotic, you will have your needs filled by them. Two people always thinking and doing for the other. THAT is love.

Answer 4

Everyone needs some type of love. Whether it's from a friend, family-member, or even a pet. We thrive off of love. Love helps and hurts people daily. I don't think it's good to be obsessed with love because at times people may get out of control and harm someone. So what is love, again? Love keeps you smiling and happy. Love once you find it, is the one thing you will always want in your life. Good Luck.

Answer 5

Love in the romantic sense is when you cannot imagine your life without that person, when you would really prefer to know he or she is happy than to be happy yourself. It is selfless, joyful contentment that leads to a deep life-partnership.

Of course people are too obsessed - but not with love. In general, people don't love love, they love infatuation and sex. And those two things, while parts of romantic love, are not love. Infatuation is the "honeymoon" stage of a relationship, when you are blind to that person's faults and cannot see the real nature of the relationship. You often behave like a different person, ignoring your best friend and ditching commitments to be with them. Infatuation is more like a mental disease than a feeling.

Sex is important and wonderful, but people mistake it for love. Everybody does this: they meet some hottie and forgive his or her treatment of them as long as they get to have sex - or can hold out hope of sex. Or they have a one-night-stand with someone and believe it could turn into something more. Sometimes it does, but far more often the other person was just looking for a good time.

People want to be in love because they seek the security of a partnership, of knowing that there is someone out there who is in their corner. Some people are very insecure and their desire for security beomes a need, a hunger, and they do almost anything to fill it. But real love, passionate and selfless, is hard to find and the most precious thing in all the world.

Answer 6

Love is kind, gentle and never puffed up, It's longsuffering, never jealous ect. People need love cuz it will make them happy, Love makes u smile when u know that u have someone to really love u from the bottom of their heart. Its love that makes the world go around and the best part of it its free, cuz money can't buy love.

I don't think people are to obsessed with love, if u don't have love u will hate and u definitely don't want a world of haters.

Answer 7

Obsessed??? love is the fabric of humanity. Without love there is nothing. Humanity would cease to exist. Even if it somehow survived for a while it would be nothing more than an assembly line. Without Love there is no such thing as hate, therefore there could be nothing in between. Thus, there would be no reason to go on, and humanity would perish. The best way to describe love in "Pure Truth" the human soul layed bare, the highest achievement of mankind.

Answer 8

love is an idea tht descibes a chemicial response in our bodies. yeah i think people have gone to far. some women even think maybe there is the fairytail ending, which nope dont happen. to stay together you must work together. argueements are going to happen, some one tht doesnt keep thier individuality is obbsesed or infatuated not in per say love. one tht accepts thier partners flaws and works through the thick and the thin and stick together in poor health or good and ect, tht my friend would be tht complex chemicial response. love. sometimes its rough. but the good times just seem to melt away when its going good. i think most people need love cause the human is a social creature, we have this fear in the sub-consius of bieng alone. look in the past of man and how we came about, we created alot of things so we wouldnt feel so alone out there.

Answer 9

i asked this question, the answers i got were pretty good, some lame as you should know, but i think love, is doing things because you want to and not because you want something in return. some ppl try to read to far into things and they confuse others as wellas themslves. as far as being obsessed with love? yeah some ppl are obsessed with love, they are ppl that have done so much bad stuf, that they have to do just as much good stuff for now on in order to feel like they can atone for the bad things. the past is the past, instead of making yourself do things you dont want to, try not doing things you dont wan to do and only the things you want to.make sense? i hope

Answer 10

Love is complicated, it is a battlefield, it is painful it is hard, It is complicated to explain! I think people need to love because, People need one and other. I truly don't know why people get obsessed, but love can make you do crazy things, insane things!

Answer 11

every year at camp we ask our councelor that question. one year she told us that love is caring about someone more than yourself. by that definition, most of time what we think is love really isn't, just infatuation, or lust. people "need" love because it's another form of acceptance, which humans crave. people are obsessed with "love" but that isn't nesecarily a bad thing. it seems like everything works out in the end.
