there are many definitons for love..
but this is one of the main kinds.
love is patient.love is kind. it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. it is not rude, it is not self-seeking. it is no eaisly angered, it keeps no records of wrong. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always preserves.
soo do you belive in this. alot of us have not seen love this way or is that we havent actually loved someone??

Love is these things, maybe. But people are not all the time!!
True love (which I have experienced once and I believe does exist) is something that two people can share where that sustaining emotion can ensure (without effort) that the two people do not suffer from: envy, pride, anger/wrath towards each other and they try to: have patience, understanding, protect each other, work together, have fun together, hope together. etc.
Most people at some point in their lives will epxerience this. And it always happens when you least expect it!!

Although this is found in the Bible in 1 Cor. 13, it is argued that the apostle Paul plagiarized this from Plato's Symposium.
I don't think this is love so much as it is the effects of love. So to say, these are the symptoms, not the disease (figure of speech, I'm not equating love to a disease). I think Love is an emotional force as well as a spiritual force that guides our actions and thoughts in a positive way (positive towards the thing that is loved, that is).
Like I said, These are the symptoms of love, and I do believe they fit. I think what is described in this is a very pure form of Love. Yes, I would agree with you that if this is not the definition of Love held by a person, then that person has very scarce knowledge of love itself. As you will notice, all of these things are actions as well as mind sets. Love is expressed in actions and thoughts, and rarely in words.

Seeing that you've quoted 1 Corithians 13 in the Bible, perhaps you should take coniscence that the ONLY TRUE LOVE is the unconditional love that the Creator has towards us, his creations. The unconditional love of a parent towards its off-spring comes close, yet still a far distant second. The rest what is termed as love, is mere infatuation, lust and greed.

We can't define love in words. it is something which we can just feel. These feelings are such that only heart can explain and every heart explains it in the same way.
In my opinion,
it is not fair to try to explain such beautiful feelings which are impossible to be explained with the help of words
because,
to me, it is as to arrest something within boundaries which is beyond boundaries. The words have their limitations in expression/explanation/revelation of meanings whereas love is totally unexplainable/unmeasurable feelings.
Can you measure/explain how much you love to your child?

Like you said, there are different kinds of love. But that is a good description of the kind of love that is well worth seeking to give and to get.

Christian Fundamentalists, Baptists and/or evangelical Christians, generally condemn the Catholic church as being non-Christian. that's just about uniquely American and originated interior the deep south in the previous and after the Civil conflict.

'In Love ' is another kind of love it makes you shine from within. loving your children is a different love a mum and dad know that kind of pride when your 11yr old collects the footie player of the year award. or when they come last
in a race you still have pride. love does not discriminate.
being loved is knowing what trust is. love is feel good

Those are the attributes of love. But what is love? To me, it's the total giving of your attention and concern for the well being of another, in any form, even if it involves total self sacrifice and the laying down of one's life. (Greater love hath no man that he lay down his life for his friends)

yes "Corinthians 13" is by far the best description of love i have ever heard. im not a religious person, but you have to give it up to literary talent and insight.
