what is love?

Question

what is your definition of love? just curious of how different people think about it.

Answer 1

Love is finding happiness in everything. With no cause.
Take oneself for example. How do you feel when you are with your loved one?? Really Happy, without him giving something nice or saying something nice isnt that so?? But then again you may ask what about all these kinds of family love sibling love, love for earth love for this and love for that and all the other things never even accounted for.

Lets start something very basic.
Our need for food. What do you like?? And what do you absolutely love. And what happens when you are eating the food that you love?? Happiness just happiness. There is no reason for you to be happy in eating the food that you love, but you simply feel so good and happy. Its not like you havent eaten for days that you are finally happy that you got something nice to eat, neither is it that you are simply getting something or it isnt even that the feeling that you are getting something makes you happy, you are simply happy eating the food you love..!!
Here the most important thing is eating the food that you love more than enjoying the taste of the food that is really delicious. Can you see the difference in that?? and examples canbe made of everything, childrens and pets also.

Then comparing to the human life you love your home means you are happy being in it and same goes for the family. If you are happy in being with your family has to mean that you love them. Isnt that so?? So analyzing this a bit further deep. Being happy with family means loving family. And loving family means all your sense organs are happy to have them in the senses, the eyes dont reject their image, the ears dont reject their sounds, the skin doesnt reject their touch, and the nose doesnt reject their smell and sorry to say but you cant eat them to like their taste. You might love their taste in a kiss but to taste them as food would be simply pushing the possibilities. is really not possible.

What if it were possible.
Thinking not so more deeply,!! Your romantic partner of the family may be the male or the female partner. After not being happy in his presence, his smell, his talk, opinions, his feel all is left to do is taste and that is achieved in a kiss well till that point is love after that is all hormones and spirituality is forgotten somewhere in battle to the hormones

love is when you feel happy for no reason and what all you senses organs are not disturbed by.

Answer 2

I think love has some boundaries. There are many different kinds of love but there are always boundaries that goes along with that. If there are no boundaries or self-respect then you don't really have love. I'd like to think true love means to be totally accepted as you are and vice versa.

Answer 3

The best feeling in the world. You just feel great all the time with the one you love.

Answer 4

Curiosity don't really feeds one! Love, for me, is a feeling in the soul or the spirit that brings us together for compassion and a sense of community. Here, I'm not talking of a couple, or family... Love is opening of mind that feeds us and makes us feed others. Thanks.

Answer 5

Love- a feeling of great desire and affection for someone or something.

Be warned...love can be great...it can be the best thing that ever happened to you. It can also be the worst that has ever happened to you...be careful...

What is Love ?

The Oxford English dictionary describes love as: an intense
feeling of deep fondness or affection for a person or thing
and to fall in love as: to develop a great love for.
This may well be a basic description of what love feels like,
but why do we love, what is passion, and why is intense
desire between two people sometimes called 'chemistry'?Heart Box

There are, in fact, three distinct stages of love; each with
their own characteristic emotional profile and scientific explanation.

First is lust. Lust is driven by our sex hormones testosterone
and oestrogen. These hormones are what get us 'out on the pull'.
After lust comes attraction. This is the love-struck phase;
the time when we lose our appetite, can't sleep, and can't
concentrate. This is what we know as falling in love.

Imagine an invisible, undetectable force that's powerful
enough to override your sense of reason yet draws you
to someone with an almost animal passion. These aren't
Cupid's mythological arrows, but real shots of human
pheromones.

Welcome to The Scent of Eros:
Mysteries of Odor in Human Sexuality -

'Scientists in Philadelphia have established for the first
time that the human body produces pheromones, special
aromatic chemical compounds discharged by one individual
that affect the sexual physiology of another'....

Do pheromones work in human sexual attraction?

They may be odorless and colorless and their function may be
mysterious, but human pheromones at last have the zest of
scientific truth. Researchers at the University of Chicago
have demonstrated that compounds swabbed from the
'underarms' of young women at different times of the month
can alter the length of other women's menstrual cycles,
compressing or expanding the cycles in predictable
fashion....

What is the force that lights the fuse between two
complete strangers? What current pulses through their veins,
engorges their hearts, occupies their minds and numbs their
texting fingers? Ah, if only

I knew. As magic formulas go, sexual chemistry must surely
be the most valuable. It's intoxicating effects are more
pleasurable and more powerful than any drug and when it hits,
it hits hard. There are the rushes of ecstacy, the gut wrenching
anticipation, fluttering, dizziness, and the diminished
concentration that turns day-dreaming into a full-time job.
And then there are the side effects. A positively Colombian
annihilation of appetite and its confidence- boosting by-product,
weight loss. And it is free. And it is legal. It is bloody amazing.

But no one knows what "it" is. Scientists have managed to
map our genetic blueprint. They understand the subtleties
of hormones and the complexities of the emotional brain.
But the thing that makes two people click remains a mystery.
Theories abound as to what, or why. Those looking for a
magic bullet (or Cupid's arrow) tend to favour the notion
of pheromones - scents secreted by the sweat glands in the
'armpits' and pubic hair. And the relatively recent discovery
of the vomeronasal organ, a small chemo-sensory structure in
the human nose, lends the concept some weight.
