Wasn't serious answering..

Now I get the appropriate word for love


"To love means to open ourselves to the negative as well as the positive - to grief, sorrow, and disappointment as well as to joy, fulfillment, and an intensity of consciousness we did not know was possible before." -- Rollo May

This is like me

"To accept as others as I am and to give others as I am to give myself"

That is my definition of love (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Love is fragile love is precious if you have you should hold it dear to yourself if you have it close to you.

Love is putting your significant other first and yourself second. Because if your both putting each other first, then it makes putting yourself second worth it.

You can be happy seeing her happy, and realize she's happy in large part because she's with someone else - if you stopped thinking of other people as your property, as children do.

I know it's been quite a long time, but here goes.

If this were the type of love to exist between good friends or family, that would make a lot of sense. In this case, however, it also depends on the strength of physical and emotional sexual attraction that you feel. Simply wishing the person you love well is like never unwrapping a game because of how creatively it was packaged. If someone were only ever allowed to look at it, and never play it outside of maybe a demo, who wouldn't be frustrated? It's impulses and emotions going exactly nowhere, and feeling contentment in unstable equilibrium is, at least in my case, extremely difficult. If you care for this person but at the same time feel strong lust, I don't really know how you could act naturally without unintentionally making her uncomfortable in some way.

This is what I was talking about, not simply selfless affection.

a chemical reaction in the pleasure centers of your brain...almost like an addiction

P.S.: BTW I'd advise you to read all offered definitions of this word at [www.urbandictionary.com] UD - it'll give you a good laugh.

While cheesy, perhaps somethings are not meant to be defined. There are so many different kinds of love (familial, sexual, etc.) that to put a definition detracts from its purpose.

Pain.

I don't know that a lot of people actually take the time and effort to really delve into the human psyche and think about the things that most consider common place. It's just part of the human experience, what further explanation is really needed?

I know that from a purely logical standpoint, love is unnecessary. Granted humans are social creatures so the feeling of love can be one that ensures some sort of bond with another person but it is unnecessary for the propagation of the species and it's advancement. I just want to see how people of all walks of life view the term "love".

Is it necessary for the object of your love to love you back, ie does unrequited love still count? Can you be in love with an idea or even an inanimate object? Is the person that claims to love a fictional character actually experiencing the sensation of love as we'd all typically view it or something so individual and foreign to people at large that misunderstanding and sometimes scorn is the only reaction we can muster? When can you be certain that the feeling you are experiencing is love and not something else? Can it really ever be truly quantified? Do you find it necessary as part of your own life?

My friend you just ran into a wild Sin Duro and I'm about to lay it down for you.

Firstly! Why should logic be based on evolutionary interest or instincts? Why shouldn't your logical perspective be based on your own consciously validated interest? I don't think that love's irreverence in propagation carries any weight when analyzing the concept of love.

Love... I still question the concept myself, but I have come to some conclusions.

First, I'd like to say, I feel like the concept of love is often drastically interpreted differently from person to person and is often an extremely vague term. I feel like the most common interpretation of love is when a person becomes obsessed with what they can get from a connection from another person, one sided or mutual. It's a selfish hunger/obsession for another persons affections. When it's mutual to at least some minor extent, I feel like it acts as a gateway to form a meaningful bond that may be more deserving of the title love.

What it comes down to is the bond you build with a person or appreciation you have for a thing and based on the degree in which you appreciate them, you may or may not want to dub it love. Overall I think the idea of love is over fantasized/hyped and the vague/vast use of the concept is what can make it seem so confusing.

Sin Duro has spoken.
