Love - Perception disorder caused by chemical processes that occur within a human body. :p
Yep, though to be honest any strong emotion likely skews your perception to some degree. It's just that romantic love skews them most dramatically. I vaguely recall a few scientiic articles and studies on how altered people's brains become when they are in the early peak stages of romance. They are literally 'crazy in love'. Just a more positive insanity than most :)

Well, thank Crom for Conservation of Ninjutsu [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConservationOfNinjutsu], although the last one is Love Ain't Nothing but Sex Misspelled [http://www.amazon.com/Edgeworks-Nothing-Misspelled-Beast-Shouted/dp/1565049632].

Love is a chemical reaction, no different from eating large quantities of chocolate.

What is/does the definition/concept of "love" mean to you?

As always, thank you for your time and posts.
"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 with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails."

1 Corinthians 13 v 4 - 8

That is love.
Love does not envy? Really? Someone tell the thousands of years of monogamous tradition.
Love shouldn't envy. But since we're all sinners then it does.

This is love
Love is any of a number of emotions related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my wife"). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love[2] to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love.[3] Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.
The wonders of categorization.

*grins*

Anyway--love is very similar to hate. The intensity just goes in a slightly different direction.

The opposite of love is apathy.
Incredible. You sir, are the first person, except myself, who I have heard say that. I do agree that hate is not the opposite of love, but rather love gone sour. Because when you hate someone, you still care about what that person is doing, you are just being negative about it instead of positive.
lets just say :
No.
you cannot understand hate until you live through it.
and believe me, its a miracle if you live through it ...
apathy is simply, denial.
hate is ... something more.
best i can say is "Borderline Insanity"

Love is a bottomless pit deep within my soul that can only be filled by sleeping with any guy that shows a vague interest in me...



At least that's what my ex-girlfriend thinks.

Brilliantly, I was actually listening to What Is Love? by Haddaway on my iPod when I saw this topic.

The power of love is user-friendly. The love of power is not.

Love is undefinable. It is the feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you see the girl/boy of you dreams. It is a raw emotion that can lead even the the most sensible of people to do stupid things, can be more intoxicating than alcohol and can destroy your senses.

Love is what you want it to be, but can never be what you want it to be. The power of something without meaning is a power not worth having at all.

Well... what I was going to say has been done to death in just the first 10 posts...

"Oh I don't know why you're not fair
I give you my love but you don't care
So what is right and what is wrong
gimme a sign"

Bet you didn't know it had verses, did you?

... yeah, me neither, I googled it.

OT: As simply as I can state it: when you put the needs of another over the needs of yourself.

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight.
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right.
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night.
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day.
And you know the night is always gonna be there any way.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight.
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Please be waiting for me baby when I come around.
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Fuckin ninja'd. I seriously thought I'd be the only one to think of this.
But I guess HK-47 is just too much of a BAMF to resist.
