Definition of love!

---

Love means "zero" in tennis language.Excerpted from Wikipeida, a fine source of Internet knowldege:In reply to: * Affection: appreciation of other * Attachment: satisfying basic emotional needs * Reciprocation: if love is mutual * Commitment: a desire to maintain love * Emotional intimacy: sharing emotions and feelings * Kinship: family bonds * Passion: sexual desire * Physical intimacy: sharing of personal space * Self-interest: desiring rewards * Service: desire to helpBiomatch defines love thus:In reply to:The affinity experienced between two people who are naturally able and willing to tune into one another's emotional, intellectual, and physical states - and respond to them in a nurturing and a stimulating way.Elizabeth Barrett Browning expains not what love is, but how love works:In reply to:How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.I love thee to the depth and breadth and heightMy soul can reach, when feeling out of sightFor the ends of being and ideal grace.I love thee to the level of every day'sMost quiet need, by sun and candle-light.I love thee freely, as men strive for right.I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.I love thee with the passion put to useIn my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.I love thee with a love I seemed to loseWith my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,I shall but love thee better after death.

If there's nothing that you would die for, then your life isn't worth living.

Marin Luther King thought that too!Oprah's gonna go medieval on your ass.

"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word."Martin Luther King, Jr.

In reply to: Oprah's gonna go medieval on your ass bring it on!I'll make a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich and she'll be destracted by her one true love!

Wow, there's alot of Oprah bashing going on lol

my advice it to find the answer in a song..."What's This Shit Called Love?" by The Meatmen

Okay.I'm not trying to get overly religious here but this is what I define love as:love is patient, love is kind It does not envy, it doesnot boast, It is not proudIt is not rude,it is notself seeking, it is not easily angered, It keepss no record of wrongslove does not rejoyce in evil, but delights in the truthlove always protects, always trusts ,always hopes always perservereslove never failsI try and love people in my ife by these rules but its not always easy !!!! lol As for romantic love I think when you find the right person you just know theres just this magic betwen you. That doesn't mean it will always be there though ,even the best reltoinship can die a painful death if you don't work on it.

Love is putting up with bullshit and things you normally wouldn't put up with from someone. Jk

I'd say that this a pretty good definition of love..."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." (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)I also agree with the rest of the posts. And for me one of the most important characteristics of love is TRUST.

To me love is like that drug that can make you do things that you normally would never do or put up with. But there are a lot of different kinds of love. A mothers love for her child is much different from the love that husband has for his wife. There is also a kind of love between friends. I believe that love is the one bond that allows us to live with each other. But true love between partners is only achievable by truling know your partner.

In reply to: Love is putting up with bullshit and things you normally wouldn't put up with from someone. I have to agree, that's what love is in a nut shell.

But Love is so much more than that. It is so deep, so pure, so kind, and so soft. Not so harsh like you put.

Sounds like a fabric softener commercial.

I thought love means never having to say you're sorry.

english only has one word for love and the deffinition in the bible is: Love is patient, love is kind. 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 13:4-8 You will also see this in a dictionary. In greek there are 4 definitions starting with:
Storge - Parental love, what a parent feels for their childern.
Eros - Sexual attraction feelings of passion and desire.

Philios - Love for friends and family. Think the city of brotherly love.

Agape - Godly love, you would put that person before all things in your life.

I learned this from a very smart english teacher.

Thats the best way possible to put it.
