What is love?

Everyone seems to feel it at some point in their lives, but what exactly is it? How do you know that what you feel isn’t just some biological procreation device in your subconcious? Love is said to be wonderful and singularly to greatest thing ever, but what is it?

To me- Love is an unconditional attachment/connection to a person. It is the thing that binds us all together. Romantically, it is mixed together with Biological impulses… and perhaps love is always developed out of biological programing… but the “love” itself is not so rare as the poets proclaim. It is all around… you just have to be open to it.

I’m sorry. Is it love itself that is? or the failing of exceptions for those who you love and claim to love you?

To be honest there really isn’t an exact definition. You see, love is like the common cold, there are so many different versions of it that you can’t really put an exact statement to say what it is.

Lets just say it’s a feeling that makes you feel good.

Probably the latter to be fair. Still hurts sometime though. Some people say that love and hate are the same thing; I don’t know if I’ve ever really understood that statement.

“Love and Hate are the same thing.” intriguing.

You’d think love and hate would be polar opposites, the strongest emotions one can feel, but on opposite ends of the spectrum. Love is a wanting to be near someone, and hate is wanting someone to be far away.

I can’t say as though I agree with whoever said Love and Hate are the same thing, but I have to congratulate them for bringing up such a great thought.

I am not a fan of Miley Cyrus, but I feel it necessary to quote her songs:

“The 7 things I hate about you
You’re vain, your games, you’re insecure
You like me, you like her
Your friends your jerk when you act like them,
just know it hurts.
I wanna be with the one I know.
And the 7th thing I hate the most about you,
You make me love you.

The 7 things I like about you
Your hair, your eyes, your old levis,
When we kiss I’m hypnotized,
Your hands and mine intertwined,
Everything’s alright.
I wanna be with the one I know.
And the 7th thing I like the most about you,
You make me love you.

Also… true love, does not exist at first sight. First sight=hormonal imbalance and historical/biological influence. BUT, love exists, when both people are truly committed to each other. It’s slightly impossible to know how much your partner is committed, but if you keep in it with the idea that you both love each other equally and deeply realistically, then you might get hurt if it doesn’t work out. But it will not have worked out because of the other person, not because of yourself.

Love doesn’t just happen. You’re supposed to fight, to disagree; it would be too boring without it. But it’s learning to take the other’s things in stride, to agree to disagree, to work things out. Best friends make the best lovers. Love takes work, but if you don’t stress about it, it can be a wonderful experience.

I do… When you see someone enough to love them for who they are- you see enough to hate them as well. Also, the point where you share enough of you for them to completely love them… That is the point where they can wound you the absolute deepest.

also- the quote is there is a thin line between love and hate. That I really understand… I can’t hate anyone I don’t love, completely and unforgettably love you. “I hate you” is more proof that I love you than me saying “I love you.”

Love isn’t the pain itself but the pain you feel when it’s over. The only real way to tell how much you love someone is by how much pain you feel when all is said and done. I’m just a kid a guy at that I find it funny that you asked for my help.
