what is love?

Answer 1

"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."

Answer 2

Fact from fiction, truth from diction. Love is probably one of the most basic thing to understand. But due to emotion, or lack of logic, people mistake it for lust. But as mushrooms and toadstools look the same but one brings sickness or even death, and the mushrooms a tasty additive, lust and love look and feel a lot a like. However, with lust you expect something back. Or the feelings return(sometimes) Many times there is no longing for attachment. If you love someone, then they are the only one that will do. You have all the butterflies in the stomach, the racing heart etc. So why is it people can not tell the difference from lust and love? They may seem similar but upon closer inspection love is to silk what lust is to satin. You know you are in love if you fully surrender your heart to whom you love. If you have to be cold and wet that they would be dry and warm, you do it. To see them fed you will go hungry. If you have to sacrifice the body that they might avoid pain or injury, you do it. And you do not ask for their love back as a condition that you give yours. You will forgive any and all transgressions. Doesn't mean you have to be a door mat but you do not start hating them because they kissed another girl or she went skinny dipping with the ex. And even in the worst of it, you stand by your mate. Just like Donna Reeves did Christopher. The loss of limbs, freedom, mobility does not shake you from that person's side. You can not imagine not being with them the same way you can not imagine being without your right leg. If you feel that way about them, and they about you. That is love. Anything else is imitation, call it a super lust episode. See it better now?
