Love to me, is being able to fart in the same room and that other person doesn’t leave. Love is when that person inspires you to be the best person you can be.

Everyone has their own definition of Love, what’s yours?

Love is unconditional. Period. Love is when you are not judged in any way. And it is also when you are able to not judge them.

Yes, it may start out as a romantic thing, but the companionship is what makes it last forever.

love is when you hate yourself just enough to appreciate someone else.

I will show my findings.

While initially it appears that “love” would obviously be attached to chemical reactions and processes in the brain and body, most people seem to argue heavily against such. Instead, it is lifted up and declared as “more.” Whatever that means. “Love,” therefore must be attributed to something else. People on this thread have already mentioned things such as intimacy, acceptance, understanding, passion and so forth. But what about Stockholm Syndrome? Most people who suffer from this readily display all of these qualities to their perpetrator. There are also other psychological conditions that call into question these quickly called upon adjectives. Therefore, the best course of action seems to be to continue the reasoned deduction.

“Love” does seem to be conditional though, which flies against common assumptions. “Love” appears to easily fade when some one has an affair for example. Also, “love” spikes during early stages of relationships, and while it lowers a bit after the “excitement has worn off,” it rarely goes all the way back to a level of zero. On the other hand, I have to call into question this level on a serious matter. “The girl loves the dog.” Is this the same kind of love that one sees between two 25 year olds dating? What about comparing the two 25 year olds with two happily married 75 year olds? Thus, there is different types of “love,” making it conditional. People seem to want certain levels and types of “love” at different periods in their lives.

As best as I can figure then, using this knowledge and other sources, “love” appears to be nothing more than an excuse to favor one person over others. A wife will protect her husband or sister before she protects a stranger in a dangerous situation. A man might choose to hang out with his girlfriend instead of his drinking buddies. Or to stress my point, the man might choose his drinking buddies over his co-workers or clients. This has been the only explanation for this event known as “love” I’ve come across that has not been successfully challenged.

But I’ve never known “love,” so what the hell do I know? :p

Love is an experience, part of our culture/society. It’s a precious fleeting thing.

Don’t try and define it except in the moment.
