love...we all have experienced it in some form or another, well all would agree that love is a good thing.. but i was thinking what is love, what does love mean. that word seems to be thrown around too much and these days. its signifigance is starting to wear down and the true meaning of what love is seems to be forgoten.
i looked it up and according to the dictionary love is :
1 a (1) : strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties
(2) : attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers
(3) : affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests b : an assurance of love 2 : warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion 3 a : the object of attachment, devotion, or admiration b (1) : a beloved person : DARLING -- often used as a term of endearment (2) British -- used as an informal term of address
(4) a : unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another: as (1) : the fatherly concern of God for humankind (2) : brotherly concern for others b : a person's adoration of God
(5) : a god or personification of love
so my question is what does love mean to you?

Love is free, free is love.
most kids these days think love is when they see someone and go, "Oh my gawsh, there freaking hott."
I'd blame the media, personally.
Basically there brainwashing these tiny kids into thinking they know what real love is, and that love is when you see someone really hot on the street and then amazingly hook up with them after a day, like in the movies.
It's all in the telly, kids.
That's why theres this thing called HATE.
The life line is divided that way, HATE, being the negative spectrum, and LOVE being the positive spectrum.
Except you can't do that.
As Donnie Darko states, you can't just stick hotness into one category. Love or hate.
No.
There are more categories in life than that.
I hate the categories.
Now, in all honesty, my definition of love is:
love; (lu-veh), someone who understands somebody truly from the inside out and can relate to that somebody by personal emotions.
To be happy with somebody is to love being happy with them. Vice versa.
Seeing someone on the street and hooking up with them an hour later is not love. No. That's called whore.
Except, you know, everyone has there own perspective of love and it really doesn't matter what anyone says about it, because it's YOUR life, YOUR love, so YOU can go do whatever the hail you want with your love life.
If that's what you call love.
Experiment. Try. Be different. Mess up. You can always try again. Memories are good. They help you grow.
Like a llama.
<3 peace.
my cardiac is broken.
i don't even know what love is. but when it comes, i'll know.
so much anonymity. I would know what Love is really. I mean...I could say what I think it is, but that doesn't mean it is. I could say love is fake, but it isn't and my saying that it is doesn't make it so. Fake love is horrible. Nothing but an image. I'm not a fan of image, but I am a fan of love.
Love is important. Love is a question, and an answer. Love is sacrifice. Love is probably the best thing you can experience on earth. Love is better than climbing everest, or fighting a bear and living to tell it(intact). Love is not red. Love can take your life away. Love can give you life. Love is not sex.
As much as I am aquiring the same dislike for people who post without stating their name as some of my friends are, I must say I generally agree with anony #1.
But, nobody said I'm right, which is okay, because you were looking for perspective.
wow lots of deep thoughst here..i love them. oh and i know who anonymous # 1 is so it is no big deal.. i just know for a fact that, that person can think better when people do not know who they are.
But they cant stand by their solid thoughts? Okay...
Did you just ask that question? THAT question? 'THE' question? To answer your ?? to my speel, I too have ask that question. More times than nessecary, possibly, but lots none the less. Why? I never wanted to say 'I love you' and not know what in the world it meant to me. To say it in a mechanical way dirived of meaning. To say just because your expected to.
What I found out? Mostly, stuff that I yet do not know how to word. Hopes that's ok with you. To continue... silly wrist... that's better, I found out that love is comittment. Honestly. My reasoning behind this? Next time you get mad at your parents go clean the kitchen. Dare you to.
Seems contradictory doesn't it? You can't just go clean the kitchen now. That wouldn't work. You'd have to be mad or disappointed in them (we all are at some time or another, come on be honest) and then go do that. Or some other thing that you can do, that is generally hated to be done at your house. Or that your parent needed to get done but has never had the time for.
Your really wanting that explination now right? Well it simply comes down to this. Your emotions will eventually follow your actions. So if you act even more mad... at your parents, your going to end up on a swirl of hate and resentment. But if you decide that you are going to go and possibly prove them wrong about what they said, or do something for them OUT OF LOVE then your emotions generally get put to rest a bit. Not that you still don't have to go and talk to them about whatever got you angry in the first place. So if love is a comittment, and your emotions follow your actions... GO have fun coming to your own conclusions.
By the way, this is just my humble opnion. In no means right or wrong. Completely at least.
