What is love?

Stratford

After reading a post where somebody gave advice saying as long as you love each other...

I wondered what love means or is. In my experience love is or means different things to different people. So I'm looking for the definitive definition of love. As I think I've been in love with 3 people during my life and the live always fizzled out after a number of years.

So what is love!!?

Damn. That's not love, I wouldn't commit suicide for someone. I said I'd give my life for someone, there's a difference.

I wouldn't want someone to admit either, if they loved me, I'd know.

When you can't stop thinking about someone, think of little things to make them happy, feel safe and happy in their arms and would lay down and die for them.

You can't see it with your eyes,

Hold it in your hand.

But like the wind, it covers our land,

Strong enough to move the heart of any man,

This thing called love.

It can lift you up,

Never let you down,

Take your world and turn it all around,

Ever since time, nothing's ever been found,

That's stronger than love.

There are many people who wouldn't be able to carry on being friends after the other chose to end a FB/FWB relationship that has nothing to do with love.

I have never enjoyed being in love as it has always led to pain for me (due to the quality of guy I chose to fall in love with). I was in love with the idea of being in love, and found out pretty sharpish that some men out there capitalise on that.

Also not sure why Love is symbolised by the heart, when it always gave me stomach ache.

Reminded me of a favourite poem. The definition of Love:

As lines, so loves oblique may well

Themselves in every angle greet;

But ours so truly parallel,

Though infinite, can never meet.

To me love is selfless.

It's that heart fluttering warm contentment feeling you get when thinking of that person. Knowing that if they hurt you do too. Being able to be yourself and let them see your vulnerable side and they still want you despite of your flaws.

Knowing that they would die first before anyone or anything could harm you. Oh god this is all so soppy for a Sunday morning. It's indescribable but you know if you're in love x

In my view, the only lasting, unconditional love is between parents and children. Romantic love is a different thing. There is also the general, all-inclusive love of one's fellow man which is different again.

Love is very similar to infatuation but without the extremes.

There are many forms of love dependant on ones relationship with the other person (i.e. the love of a parent for a child is different from one parent to their spouse).

It is not something that can easily be described but it is that feeling you have when the person it is directed at is at their most annoying and being extremely unreasonable and demanding yet you have no doubt they are the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

Threatening to commit suicide in order to continue a relationship isn't love, it's emotional abuse.

This a really deep one for a Sunday morning !

Love for your parents , siblings , children and pets is one thing and more often than not a given . An instinctive built in love .

But love that is shared as a couple is a completely different ball game . It develops over time and is fuelled by desire , lust , and all manner of emotions not necessarily associated with the above type of love . Of course the initial lust driven desire will develop into compassion , trust , the wanting to keep your partner happy , safe , protected , desired , and so on , if love is true as time goes by .

I liked the bit another couple said about having each other's back even when they didn't like each other at the time . That's love , as is giving the freedom to think and do to your partner . Way too many people try to change their partners perspective on things to their own . To be able to listen and not judge your lovers perspective on things is important .

To share the good times together , and to support each other through the rough times again is vital . To understand that neither one of you is perfect , and you will fuck things up now and again , but you have forgiveness in your heart .

Oh my days I could go on forever !

I've never been in love. I've only ever had infatuations with people. I'm cool about that, and aware of it. In the future when I meet him, I expect love to be that person that doesn't give me butterflies; Just calms me, makes me feel like I can be myself and not have to try to impress him. That I can talk to without running out of things to say. That I can be vulnerable with. And he with me.

I'm really into the writings and YouTube channel of Alain De Botton - he runs the School of Life on YouTube and just bought his book 'The Course of Love' which is about the calm reality versus what classical literature would have us believe romantic love should be.

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

"Love is the unconditional commitment to an imperfect person "

Yes, total acceptance and selflessness - you put the other person's needs first, and it gives you joy to do so.

"The Rose"

Some say love, it is a river

That drowns the tender reed.

Some say love, it is a razor

That leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love, it is a hunger,

An endless aching need.

I say love, it is a flower,

And you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance.

It's the dream afraid of waking

That never takes the chance.

It's the one who won't be taken,

Who cannot seem to give,

And the soul afraid of dyin'

That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long,

And you think that love is only

For the lucky and the strong,

Just remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snows

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

In the spring becomes the rose.

"This a really deep one for a Sunday morning !

Love for your parents , siblings , children and pets is one thing and more often than not a given . An instinctive built in love .

But love that is shared as a couple is a completely different ball game . It develops over time and is fuelled by desire , lust , and all manner of emotions not necessarily associated with the above type of love . Of course the initial lust driven desire will develop into compassion , trust , the wanting to keep your partner happy , safe , protected , desired , and so on , if love is true as time goes by .

I liked the bit another couple said about having each other's back even when they didn't like each other at the time . That's love , as is giving the freedom to think and do to your partner . Way too many people try to change their partners perspective on things to their own . To be able to listen and not judge your lovers perspective on things is important .

To share the good times together , and to support each other through the rough times again is vital . To understand that neither one of you is perfect , and you will fuck things up now and again , but you have forgiveness in your heart .

Oh my days I could go on forever !

"Love is very similar to infatuation but without the extremes.

There are many forms of love dependant on ones relationship with the other person (i.e. the love of a parent for a child is different from one parent to their spouse).

It is not something that can easily be described but it is that feeling you have when the person it is directed at is at their most annoying and being extremely unreasonable and demanding yet you have no doubt they are the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

If love is 'unconditional' or 'everlasting' then why is the divorce rate 43%?

In truth it's a catch all term that enables people to avoid facing up to the truth or dealing with reality.

I watched a programme on domestic violence recently and it was horrendous. When the women were asked why they stayed with the men, they predictably responded that they loved them. What they didn't want to admit is that they hate being alone and their self esteem is low to imagine getting anyone better.

Love lives entirely in a realm outside logic. There is no aspect of it which overlaps with the rational mind. So in essence it is an emotional spiritual state that so utterly defies logical understanding that the only definition of it we have is one word... "love"
