What is "LOVE"?

Question

Ok, we all know that people fall "in love" but what is love really? I think instead of saing "I love you", we should say, "I feel you." Cause I know I feel for my husband and my kids. It might be kinda dumb but how do we truly love? I'm curious to see if someone can really put it in perspective.

Answer 1

Love is a whole bunch of things rolled into one. Like "I feel you".
Love means something different to each person..

I love my family so much, that I am willing to die for them.
I would go hungry if needed to make sure they had food.
I would beg, borrow, steal if I ever needed to, to make sure their needs were met.
I love my Husband different than my Son, Mother, Grandson, Brother.. And each one I love in a different way.
Its a feeling "I feel", "I love".... "I need you", "I want you".



From Wikipedia:
Love is a constellation of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection or profound oneness.
The meaning of love varies relative to context.
Romantic love is seen as an ineffable feeling of intense attraction shared in passionate or intimate attraction and intimate interpersonal and sexual relationships.
Though often linked to personal relations, love is often given a broader signification, a love of humanity, of nature, with life itself, or a oneness with the Universe, a universal love or karma. Love can also be construed as Platonic love,religious love, familial love, and, more casually, great affection for anything considered strongly pleasurable, desirable, or preferred, to include activities and foods.
This diverse range of meanings in the singular word love is often contrasted with the plurality of Greek words for love, reflecting the concept's depth, versatility, and complexity.
