What does love mean??

Question

What does love mean??

Answer 1

love is mutual understanding to the extent that two be one,see life from one point of view

Answer 2

I think Love, real and pure Love, is simple and analyzable. It is something that has to be largely experienced to be understood. It is like the colour "yellow". You cannot explain yellow to a blind man anymore than a loveless person can truly hope to understand love.

What you can know from experience is that everyone has the potential to find and receive it.

Answer 3

Love is perhaps the most complex emotion in the human experience. There are infinite forms of love ranging from infatuation, sexual love, appreciative love, affection, and romantic love.

Romantic love is most often associated with the word. But definitions of this vary considerably as well. Many people find that Romantic love is all encompassing of the human experience. In terms of marriage, love is expected to withstand all other emotions including distrust, dislike, anger, resentment and to rule over these and matter more. You may also be expected to love the things which you do not like about a person.

Love is something that cannot be explained rationally unlike its polar opposite-hate. Hate can usually easily be explained by inflamed emotions relating to previously being slighted. Though, actions as a result of hate can be impossible for the non hating victims of hate to cope with i.e. dealing with emotions relating to terrorist attacks or genocide.  Even in these instances, while it may be impossible for one to understand how someone could let their hatred have them perform such acts, it can be discerned where the hatred itself originates.

There are some truths to love which generally cannot be argued with. Romantic love has a sexual component which is biological and behavioral. But feelings of love can propel sexual activity instead of s*x propelling feelings of love.

No one can fully explain love however as it means something different to each of us. One thing tends to hold true, love is considered part of the human experience.  

Answer 4

"The soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another."

Answer 5

The definition of love I like best is that love is a condition where another's happiness is essential to one's own.
