It's an immortal question. The religious would say that it's a virtue we were given. "You have the three virtues, faith hope and love, but the greatest of these is love." The nonreligious would simply give this statement: "Love is nature's way of tricking us to reproduce." So what is love? Wikipedia defines it like so: Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection ("I love my mother") to pleasure ("I loved that meal"). It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personalattachment.[1] It can also be a virtuerepresenting human kindness,compassion, and affection—"the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another".[2] It may also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals.[3] I believe the question isn't really what is love, it's more so what can love do. Love is one of the most powerful forces in the world. People will fight hard for money, but they will fight hardest for love. That's why many defensively-fought battles are won - because love of the country is the reason for fighting. Love is seen in everyday life. It's all around us in relationships and is the very glue that holds them together. People will do nearly anything in a healthy relationship for love. It's as simple as that. The love between families is a bond that exists from the moment the family is united. It's a bond that is difficult to ever break. Love is the driving force, no matter how it is viewed, that drives the world forwards. Eh, who am I kidding?
In my opinion, love is good or bad. Love can bring happiness, joy, marriage/children or whatever but it can also bring sadness. If you break up with your "lover" or get a divorce or get cheated or anything else, it can make you feel like a part of you has died. Love can be good, but I'm not a huge fan of it. When I'm "in love" I light up whenever I see that guy, I always wait for him no matter how long it will take. I feel like he is the one that will never break my heart. When my heart is broken, I just feel like literal crap and I can't do anything. When I see the one that broke my heart, that feeling comes back and blah. Love is just kinda a luck/chance thing. Maybe you'll find the one you're meant to be with, or maybe you'll find the one who was destined to hurt you. In the long run it's a road toward pain or a road towards like, children or sumshet. (Just my opinion, dun hate. DA FEELS)
