hi can anybody define LOVE?

Answer 1

Yes... everybody can define love and you can get as many definitions as there are people.
My own definition is as follows

Love is a powerful emotion which can not only make the wise look idiots, but also make the most selfish person get willing to sacrifice for the sake of the beloved.

That is what love can do and in my view, everything is defined by what it does.

Answer 2

Its more like can anybody count the heartbeats of a snail!!
Or it is like gripping the sunlight coming through a window!
Love is for feeling rather than defining!!

It is like a child standing in front of BOING 747, just loves it, cant buy it. It is like a compulsion, like a positive attracting a negative.
I can guarantee that if you ask the total population of this world, every one would have a different meaning for it, that is the magnanimity of this world.
LOVE IS FOR BEING NOT DEFINING!!!!

Answer 3

There are many kinds of love which may come from different people, with the only similarity between them bieng love itself.

Motherly love is when there is someone who is willing to sacrifice their all whims and fantasies just so that you can be happy.
Sisterly love is when you have someone who feels secure with you and trusts you to look out for her.
Brotherly love is when there is someone who is willing to defend you against all odds and watch out for you when you are in trouble.
Fatherly love is when there is a person who treats you like his pride, considers you his honour and wants you to have even the best of the best that he has.
Teenage love is when two people are excited at the very prospect of seeing each other and bieng in each other's company.
Marriage love is a love which is the most mature and understanding love that has ever existed.
It is the love that keeps two people as the best of friends and the most passionate lovers in youth,
the most understanding and supportive couple in their middle age,
and the best of comforts in old age.

Answer 4

Love has no other thought, no other desire, but the welfare of the beloved one! It always and only wills the best for the other.
Love can spur on a mature person to the height of his ability, even to deeds of heroism. In this no limit is set to age!
Loves first intuition is the feeling of being unworthy of the one beloved. One can call this the beginning of modesty and humility, thus the acquiring of two virtues.
This is followed by the urge to hold one`s hands protectingly above the other so that no harm may befall him from any side.

Love is the Greatest of God`s gifts. Like a whirlwind love can seize and uplift a person upwards, to God, Who is Love Himself.

Answer 5

love
In Greek thought, eros connotes desire, longing, disequilibrium, and is generally sexual in nature. However, in Plato (especially the Symposium and Phaedrus), although eros may start with a particular person as its object, it soon becomes transferred from the particular person to their beauty (a characteristic that in principle another person could possess to the same or a greater degree), and finally it gravitates towards immaterial objects such as the form of beauty itself. The desire for immaterial beauty is a kind of recollection of the vision of forms (such as those of justice, wisdom, and knowledge) that the soul was able to perceive on the ‘plains of truth’ in its previous life. Bodily beauty induces remembrance of this state, anamnesis, and enables the soul to begin to climb the ladder back to spiritual truth. The philosopher, the poet, the lover, and the follower of the muses (or creative artist) are all inspired by the divine power of eros, which dictates the passionate pursuit of the truly real, pure intellectual light, through beauty, wisdom, and the arts of the muses. It is not often recorded how persons who believe themselves to be beloved are supposed to react to these fleshless rivals, although Dante's Beatrice is the principal example of a beloved person both initiating and then conducting a spiritual ascent of this kind. Unfortunately, however, before conducting Dante up to the highest circles of Paradise, she has to be dead. The idea of beauty as the visible trigger of a spiritual ascent was transmitted to the medieval world through Neoplatonism, and especially the City of God of Augustine.
