What is "Love"?

[driveBYargument]

Ever see those little cartoons about naked children who are married?
Yeah that...
To add a more serious answer, that falls under the context of your own view of the world. Love has no physical or definitive form as love is different for those who experience it and those who philosophize about it. In the end it is an emotion we label as "love" yet it is something that is felt and you know, not defined and pigeonholed into a single outlook or belief.

Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more.

Damn you forum ninja!

Now I have to actually think up a decent response...


Love is what keeps parents from killing their kids on the spot when thay throw a tantrum in the store.

Love is the emotion that will drive me to pick up Halo: Reach.

Love is what I do not feel for UBISOFT.

DAMN YOU UBISOFT! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!

What is love you ask?

..........love is just a word i say to keep the ***** off my back all day!

 

[The Night Shade]

Love is a word

 

[klaynexas3]

love is, well, i can't even describe it, no one can, you just gotta feel it. i know i sound like a total fag, but you'll know what love is when it happens, sometimes, it can feel like a curse, sometimes you'll be in pain, but all in all, it's the best thing in life. only reason i still live, most likely.

Love is when you learn to dream.

Love is a chemical reaction used to make sure we keep humping the same person. (Who is probably as healthy as we are, therefore producing good offspring.)

Just like freewill, the idea of love is false, it's not special, just another thing to keep us alive.

I feel it near impossible to love these days, but I say 'I Love You' to keep certain people happy.

The love I tend to feel is depression and loneliness, the love I want but can't have, and the love I once had but can't anymore.

I disagree very strongly with that.
Your kind of thinking doesn't lead to anywhere good.

Love rules. The song by Strapping Young Lad, that is.

Love is when you can bend spoons with your mind, fly, stop bullets with telekinesis and deactivate machines with your thoughts.

...Oh, wait, that's "being the One". Well they are similar - you know when you are, you can't be told you are.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I mean, just because it hasn't worked out for me yet doesn't mean much, I'm only a young adult.

But, love is a chemical process, simple as that, a great one for sure, it can make you so happy and so sad, but in the end it is just to make sure we survive, plain and simple.

Then again, it'd much prefer to be in love and not have a kid then have a kid and not be in love. (The good kind of love, of course.)

I believe love is where two people are so comfortable being around/with/near each other, that they can share everything about themselves with each other.
I also feel there are three different levels of love:

Friend love - Generally just called a best friend. Someone who you can completely confide in and trust.

Romantic Love - A couple who go beyond sharing their thoughts and experiences and instead decide that they can share their whole lives and everything in them.

Physical Love - I suppose the least noble of my three levels. Basically it's where two people feel close enough that they feel it's appropriate to move on to physical intimacies, such as kissing and sex.

In many cases, the three levels mingle and intertwine, but I still think of them as seperate.

love is only for those who have looks. not for anyone else

love is another word for lust

 

[SimuLord]

Love is like obscenity---I can't describe it, but I know it when I see it. I've been madly, completely, head-over-heels in love twice in my life...and had my heart completely shattered twice, but 'tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

What is love?

Baby don't hurt me

Don't hurt me

No moooore!

Love is only an illusion, physical attraction and the fear of being alone disguised as something deeper.

And it's the best damn illusion ever.

Beat me too it.

Love-scientifically- is little more than a reaction in your brain. With less of a douchebag approach I can't really "define" it other than a feeling.
