What is Love..?

Question

What is Love..?

Answer 1

one lady & one women understand  all of the matter.  so our life is very happy. dont fight & diverse. this is love

Answer 2

True Love:  A males perspective.

It is a circuit overload, characterized by a strong flash of light, leaving your mind in shambles.  It feels like  the physical equivalence of being hit over the head with a giant club.  It will make you feel dizzy and act goofy, like if you are on a heavy dose of nitrous oxide. Your brain's circuitry will be reprogrammed in such a way that you will do most anything to insure the safety and happiness of the person, who was able to do this to you:  Like under a spell if you will.

For the first time in your life, you will be able to feel and understand a women: like bonded by thought.  Although, a nice place to visit,  you may not want to stay there for more than a few hours at a time; for fear of loosing your rational mind.  You will feel an addictive warmth, and a feeling like you can fly or do most anything.  You will gain a new sense of what it means to be alive.

The brains alteration may be permanent, or at least  take years to reverse.  The good news is that who ever could do this to you, must be someone very special.  The bad news is, if they don't feel the same, you will be in a world of hurt.

I thought I was immune to the stuff,  but it only takes one that can push the right combination of buttons.  

BEWARE !

Answer 21

Love is a condition or phenomenon of emotional primacy, or absolute value. Love generally includes an emotion of intense attraction to either another person, a place, or thing; and may also include the aspect of caring for or finding identification with those objects, including self-love. Love can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience usually felt by a person for another person. Love is commonly considered impossible to define.

The concept of love, however, is subject to debate. Some deny the existence of love, calling it a recently invented abstraction. Others maintain that love exists but is indefinable; being a quantity which is spiritual, metaphysical, or philosophical in nature. The views that love does not exist or is indefinable may underlie the fact that approximately 13 percent of cultures have no word for love. [1] [2] While 13 percent of cultures have no word for love, the remaining 87 percent of cultures attempt to define this abstract concept and apply it to everyday life. Love is one of the most common themes in art and often times is an excuse for " bad art". Some psychologists maintain that love is the abstract action of lending one's "boundary" or "self esteem" to another.

Overview

Love has several different meanings in the English language, from something that gives a little pleasure to something that one would die for. And in contrast to the definition at the top, frequently people use the verb "love" to indicate want or desire for themselves as opposed to for another. For example: "I love ice cream," does not refer to desiring wellness for ice cream, but rather to the desire for ice cream. The word also frequently indicates elevated appreciation or admiration: "I love that artist," An individual might state.

Cultural differences make any universal definition of love difficult to establish. Expressions of love may include the love for a soul or mind, the love of laws and organizations, love for a body, love for nature, love of food, love of money, love for learning, love of power, love of fame, and love for the respect of others. Different people place varying degrees of importance on the kinds of love they receive. Love is essentially an abstract concept, easier to experience than to explain. Many believe, as stated originally by Virgil that "Love conquers all", or as stated by The Beatles, "all you need is love". Bertrand Russell describes love as a condition of 'absolute value', as opposed to 'relative value'.

Scientific views

Main article: Love (scientific views)

Throughout history, predominantly, philosophy and religion have speculated the most into the phenomenon of love. In the last century, the science of psychology has written a great deal on the subject. Recently, however, the sciences of evolutionary psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, neuroscience, and biology have begun to take centre stage in discussion as to the nature and function of love.

Biological models of s*x tend to see it as a mammalian drive, just like hunger or thirst. Psychology sees love as more of a social and cultural phenomenon. Psychologist Robert Sternberg explains that love has three different components. Intimacy is a form where two people can share secrets and various details of their personal life. Intimacy is usually shown in friendships and romantic love affairs. Commitment on the other hand is the expectation that the relationship is going to last forever. The last and most common form of love is simply s*x, or passion. Passionate love is shown in infatuation as well as romantic love.

Cultural views

Main article: Love (cultural views)

Although there exist numerous cross-cultural unified similarities as to the nature and definition of love, as in there being a thread of commitment, tenderness, and passion common to all human existence, there are differences. For example, in India, with arranged marriages commonplace, it is believed that love is not a necessary ingredient in the initial stages of marriage – it is something that can be created during the marriage; whereas in Western culture, by comparison, love is seen as a necessary prerequisite to marriage.

Religious views

Main article: Love (religious views)

Whether religious love can be expressed in similar terms to interpersonal love is a matter for philosophical debate. Religious love might be considered a euphemism, more closely describing feelings of deference. Religions may use the term love to express the devotion of a follower to a deity, who may be a living guru or religious teacher, as in the Bhakti traditions of Asia. This love may be expressed by prayer, service, good deeds, and personal sacrifice. Some traditions encourage the development of passionate love in the believer for the deity.

Reciprocally, many eutheistic followers may believe that deity loves the followers and all of creation. Many believe that this type of love that God has for all of creation, often defined as charity, is an unconditional and ultimate, or infinite, form of love.

Definitional issues

Dictionaries tend to define love as deep affection or fondness.[3] In colloquial use, according to polled opinion, the most favoured definitions of love include the words:[4]

life - someone or something for which you would give your life.

care - someone or something about which you care more than yourself.

In common use, care refers to a mental or emotional state of predisposition in which one has an interest or concern for someone or something. To care for someone, may also refer to a disquieted state of mixed uncertainty, apprehension, and responsibility; or a cause for such anxiety. Caring for an object, such as a house, refers to a state of attendant maintenance; or may also refer to a state of charge or supervision, as in under a doctor’s care.

friendship - favoured interpersonal associations or relationships.

union

family - people related via common ancestry.

bond.
