To me, love is just a feeling, easily confused with like, or with physical attraction. It can be unrequited; it can be with an object or a concept. I think of love as just being a stronger form of like. It can sometimes be called "true love" (usually bullshit) or "unconditional love" (always bullshit) but those are just special subsets of the same general feeling. QUOTE(Beryl @ Mar 18 2012, 00:43)  But the wiki Article covers a lot of information, and it saves us from having to post various Bits from it here. You have to aDmit it's at least mildly useful.
Of course, aNy of us could've just gotten To the page ourselves =/
Hmmm...Unless you can effectively operationally define love, no one will ever truly be able to give a good Response. That can be said for anything intangible, though. Maybe instead of asking "what is love", we should ask "why is love important?" Every time this question comes up, there is inevitably a reference to haddaway, but if we phrase it like that, the jokes are avoided and it will open people up to a different focus on the topic. so i ask you guys, instead of trying to answer 'what is love', try and think about why love is important to you, your friends, your family, and anyone you happen to care about.

Love cannot be defined easily.
You could say wanting to be with that person, caring, know more, etc. but there is still no clear definition for it.

Premise: As I wrote below is ONLY my thoughts, then it is NOT to be mistaken for trolling or flaming. Although it may seem too bad, I tried to translate smooth as possible.
Love? For me the human race is very very far away from understand the TRUE LOVE! Who is who said that love is only between two people? Yet in a family (theoretically) a parent (for example the father) loves his partner, even as he loves his sons; and the children love both parents (always theoretically). So why a boy or a girl can not love more girls or guys at once? Here comes into play the human stupidity (A great once said: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."). Mine, mine, MINE . . . if she (or he) is mine, can not be any other . . . Universal love is a concept too open for the stupid human minds, and those who came nearest to it (the Hippies), have used drugs and narcotics to discover the universal love . . . How pathetic humanity . . .

Love is a mental-illness created by Debiers and the Candy Mafia to make you think that there's something special between you and someone else. Common strains of this illness include, but are not limited to: -A man and a man -A man and a woman -Two women -A man, a man, and a woman -A woman and a woman -A woman and a corpse -A woman and a woman and a dog. -A man and a horse -Man on dog If you feel that you may be infected with "love", the best course of action is the application of a .44 or .500 Magnum to the cerebral-cortex; or, if you are too much of a pussy, you could consult the nearest psychiatrist. He will help you do battle against the evil children exerting mind-control over you. Baby, don't hurt me.

In my opinion, love is the most extreme condition of a person getting used to someone or something that the person likes.

Love, huh? It's a psychological phenomenon that caused by our hormones... not!
Love is not a question, love is an answer itself. You cannot ask what love is, why you love and when you'll love. Love at it's purest is unknown. Though you'll know when you're in love, you'll never know why.

What is love. Sorry I had to do it. For real now. Here is what WIKI says about it. Love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment.[1] Love is also said to be a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection —"the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another".[2] Love may describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals. [3] In English, love refers to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from pleasure ("I loved that meal") to interpersonal attraction ("I love my partner"). "Love" may refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love, to the sexual love of eros, to the emotional closeness of familial love, to the platonic love that defines friendship,[4] or to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love[5], or to a concept of love that encompasses all of those feelings. This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, compared to other emotional states. 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.[6] Love may be understood as part of the survival instinct, a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.[7]

love is more than physical attraction. hell, i attracted to an average looking lady & she's my co-worker, too.
to me, it's about emotional & spiritual connection. i know what i want based on previous experience & i think i get it now

Love is giving someone the power to hurt you greatly, and hoping they dont.

well the true love comes from itself not someone you love they say... you just have to wait for someone to appear that loves you like you are and not because you have money or any other reason...
That is my opinion to this...

Love is a very beautiful thing. When you love someone, you always want to see that person happy, even if it means you have to let her go. It's a bittersweet feeling, but most good things in the world are. Also, love is dreaminess. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnogqNzWKGA

Love is a mental illness, a product of unstable emotions that defy reason and logic.
No thanks.

QUOTE(Pillowgirl @ Jan 9 2013, 13:29)  Love is a mental illness, a product of unstable emotions that defy reason and logic.
No thanks. None intended. You imply that love is an illness, therefore something negative. Unstable emotions that defy reason and logic are what we're made of, and, while it's good to learn reason and logic and to be able to rely on them, ultimately they're just tools, transforming concepts into other concepts by learned formulas, but unable to make us happy... or anything, really. To be happy, we have to feel emotions, and with no emotions we don't have any reason to do anything, as nothing makes any difference. Also, when we're using reason and logic, and cutting off emotions, we lose time when we could be happy, which is a limited resource, so cold reasoning should be used sparingly, only to determine ways to achieve one's goals, and it's endlessly pondering on them later, overanalysing one's goals, actions, motivations and meanings for extended periods of time that's a sign of mental illness. If you don't, at least sometimes, empty your mind of reasoning, focus on the breath and your senses and patiently wait until you sense your emotions, you have no data to reason on, and you end up buying yourself things you don't need and doing things you don't need in hope you'll find something that makes you happy through reason, through force of numbers, instead of just asking yourself through feeling emotions. Love is a strong emotion, thus having a way to cut through all the barriers we tend to erect as children to shield ourselves from emotions and rarely raze later, but saying it's an illness is showing you have no understanding of your emotions, and no experience with them. It's more of a helping hand in the sea of no absolutes, as it may give you a chance to find your emotions again, which is a path to learning to stay happy in all circumstances.

Love is subjective. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Everyone have their own 'love' dictionary and terms. In one person, love is hating someone and labelling them as ( insert your label here ) In another person, love is to give withouth asking the return In other person again, love is to scold others to make correction of themselves. And son on.
