Is it a thought, a behavior, or a feeling? Is it taught, or is it instinct? Is it an affliction, or a cure? What are your thoughts?

While I'm answering your question my heart is being penetrated by a projection of sublime love irradiating from the same question.
Love is everything and nothing at the same time, and that is a contradiction for which I can't explain.
The affliction of love is one of the best sufferings that humans can suffer. It's always welcome.
These are my thoughts with love to you.

Yes, love exist in this world. It's a though, behavior and a feeling. It's instinct. It's affliction and a cure. There are many types of love. Romantic love, siblings love, parent love, etc.

Love is a feeling, and trick on the mind at the same time. It is partly taught, and partly an instinct. Depending on the circumstances it can be an affliction and a cure. My thoughts on it is this, take it for face value. We as human beings are programed to love, hate, and despair. So to me love is an emotion, and a feeling that grows in my heart when I care for someone.

Yup...and all of the above.
You can think it, feel it, and behave it. To many it's instinct, though some come from a life in which someone later teaches them how to love. Can be a good affliction, or a bad one if you are attracted to someone who's not good for you. Could also be a cure for loneliness.

I think that love does exist, but it is an emotion expressed through behavior, like any other emotion. The emotion itself seems innate, barring some type of psychological disorder like sociopathy, but the behavior that is used to express love can be learned from others, just as one learns to bottle up or explode with their anger by watching their parents. I don't think there's anything magical, spiritual or divine about love. It is not all you need to make relationships work or raise children. It is not always a virtue, as it can lead one to irrationality and the trusting of untrustworthy people. And I think the purpose of love is to facilitate attachment between people, and since humans are social and interdependent by nature, love is very useful in building relationships, families and societies.

Love is the most missed use word there is. Men use it to get what they want from women, because, that's what women most want to hear. Women will give and do what ever the man wants. just to hear him say the word. True love comes from the heart; when you have true love for a person, it doesn't make you fool, you can very much love a person, but don't like him or her. Love will not make you miss treat a person, for love cannot do any wrong. There is a lot of things, blamed on love, And love does not make you do something wrong ,because you love. If we all had love for each other, there would not be any wars, we would all be at peace.

Yes, it is real. I have read many of the answers here that say it is too big a question to answer. I might have said the same thing a year ago. I have learned something in that time.
Love is what allows us to put others before ourselves. It is simply that, and what is described as love that goes beyond this is a misapprehension. Love is an act of giving.
The heart of it is in our nature. Much of what it means to be human is to be able to love. We recognize this trait in others and admire it.
It is also learned. Like language, it is passed on in thousands of small ways to the young. We learn the many difficult paths of love. It is an art that can be improved through all of our days.

If love exists, where does it come from? Where does love originate? The Christian believes that love is the expression of God, for God is love. The believer in love, which he cannot see, believes also in God, whom he cannot see, as the source of love. “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” (1 John 4:7,8)
Human love originates mysteriously in God’s love. God is the secret source of love. Although we cannot see the connection between human love and God, it is there. As a still lake is fed deep down by the flow of hidden springs, which no eye sees, so a human being’s love is grounded, still more deeply in God’s love. If there were no spring at the bottom, if God were not love, then there would be neither a lake nor a person’s love. As the still waters begin obscurely in the deep spring, so human love mysteriously begins in God’s love. The life of love has an eternal spring which never dries up.

Of course, there all kinds and degrees of love. Let us start with God Himself. The Trinity is the biggest love story ever. It is simply about God knowing and loving Himself. And this love spills out into creation. Love is actually the great Mystery of Life. Do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you is a great way to start, but you may not always "feel" like it.

Of course love exists.
Of course its not taught - as if teenage girls and boys need to be taught how to become infatuated.
I can't adequately answer a question so broad and sweeping in a few paragraphs.
