Question

What is this "love"?

Answer 1

Whenever anyone asks this question I can't help but quote Shakespeare's 116th sonnet:

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

To sum up, it means accepting another as they are without wishing to change them nor wish to change for the one you love. It is a state that remains no matter how bad things are.

Answer 5

Love is a lot of things. Its when a person gives of himself to others without asking for anything in return. Its taking care of your mom when she's sick. Its Parents never complaining about lack of sleep when they care for their newborn baby. Love is knowing when others are hurting and you hurt along with them. Love can be an emotion that is felt or a decision that is made.

"Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in Evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

1 Corinthians 13:4
