define love?

Answer 1

Love is a profound feeling of tender affection for or intense attraction to another. People in love are often considered to have "good" interpersonal chemistry. Love is described as a deep, ineffable feeling shared in passionate or intimate interpersonal relationships. In different contexts, however, the word love has a variety of related but distinct meanings: in addition to romantic love, which is characterized by a mix of emotional and sexual desire, other forms include platonic love, religious love, familiar love, and the more casual application of the term to anyone or anything that one considers strongly pleasurable, enjoyable, or desirable, including activities and foods. This diverse range of meanings in a single word is commonly contrasted with the plurality of Greek words for Love, reflecting the word's versatility and complexity.-

Answer 2

Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say love it is a flower,
And you it’s only seed.

It’s the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance

It’s the one who won’t be taken,
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live.

And the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long.
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong.

Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love,
In the spring, becomes a rose.

Answer 3

Love is the act of considering the self interest of another as though it were you own.

It is what allows us to form couples and groups.

Love is NOT an emotion. Love is a CONDUIT for emotion.

Fall in love with a happy person,Love makes you happy. Fall in love with a nut job and you just climbed onto an emotional roller coaster.

People confuse Love with the emotions Love conducts; e.g. affection or compassion. But Love conducts hate just as readily. Few things drive men to violence faster than an assault on someone they love.

"Make Love, Not War" is an oxymoron. Because while Love enables collective compassion, it also enables collective violence.

War is not possible without Love.

Patriotism is the Love of country, and good soldiers are patriots.

Don't be cynical about Love, it is here to keep us alive.

It's a mix of every emotion you have.

The most confusing, exilahrating, happiest, saddest and most enjoyable experience of your life.

It's the little things about love that make it so grand.
You will truly be at peace with yourself when you experience love.
It's the one thing that will make everything better,
and will be the most satisfying feeling too.
Love is the butterflies you get in your tummy when its churning because you don't know what to say.
It's the way a girls cheeks turn red when they get into that deep conversation and everything is going so smoothly.
It's the way the guy gets his goofy grin when he see's her cheeks turn red.
You'll know when it's happening and you'll love every second of it.

Answer 5

It's one of the only undefinable things in the world. You never know when you've really found it, you'll never know. Love is unexplainable, when you find a feeling that just can't be put into words, that would probably be love. The feeling, is one completely without pain once you've obtained it. Being in love, whatever you're in love with, they might all cause some pain, but the plain feeling of love is a complete absence of pain.
