Love is a strong liking for someone. It's a strong passionate affection for another person.

love is what everyone wants and nobody gets... and if you do find your soul mate your 1 in a million
Well I think that anyone male or female doesn’t need to be loved... the only person that you can truly reli on in life is yourself... all anybody ever wants is true love and people spend there whole lives searching for something that could maybe not even exsist.... we all want it and crave it... but do we need it is the question.... do we need another hassel in life.... i dont think so.... we women are strong enough on our own we dont need a man to tell us that or to boss us around.. I think that it is great that you are realizing this.... its hard concept glad u grasped it

Love is needing, it is wanting, it is desiring.
It is being drawn to, attracted by, feeling attached to or clinging to an object or person, for whatever reason.
Hate is being similarly repelled by or from the object we previously loved.
Love and hate are the same force, like a gravity or magnetism, they are simply opposites of one another.

Nietzche said Love is a conquest for power. Those who Love seek to possess, no matter how ostensibly altruistic they act. In Jewish and Christian theology, love is the foundation of the first and second great commands. 1. Love God 2. Love thy Neighbor as Thy Self. Christianity teaches the best way to Love God is to obey him. So Love according to Christian principles is a desire to 1. obey God and all he commands and that includes 2. loving yourself and your neighbor. The highest form of Love, being Charity. I agree somewhat with Nietzche, that love is essentially power, but not the power to possess but the power to bless. Charity lifts and edifies, it brightens and enhances, it enlarges, and has no end. Charity is the most Godlike virtue, it encompasses all other virtue. It is the greatest governing force, Machiavelli was wrong; it is not better to be feared than loved, it is better to be loved than feared. But to govern by love the governor must be properly understood and those being governed must have complete freedom of choice, to act for themselves within the confines of natural law. In Machiavelli's world it was better to be feared than loved, if everyone act like goats. Do we want to be goats and automatons?

Whatever is not as "part, whole, equivalence, uniqueness, limit, link, sensation, influence, derivative, origin, condition, rule, intent, and fulfillment" is not love.
