DO WE REALLY KNOW WHAT LOVE IS???

Jencake
By Jencake

LOVE is more complicated than the human heart. When Blaise Pascal said: THE HEART HAS ITS REASONS WHICH REASONS KNOWS NOTHING OF. He really wanted to explain what love is. Love makes people do strange things, things that may seem unreasonable. Some people talk freely about love, as if they really know what it is. We see love depicted in great artworks, in literature, and in music. We see the many different faces of love as expressed by many different people through different mediums. But do we really know what love is? Can we trust ourselves when it comes to love? Are we really sure that the love we talk about is really what it is and not what it is not?

Love is a complicated word which definition varies from person to person. But to me it's when you care about something or someone. You love someone when you care for him/her, same way you love mother earth when you care for her.

Rishimba - your definition of giving more to be happier sounds more like codependence than love.

As for my definition, I'll let you know when I find one.

khawaga...there are some other 'feel-good' hormones associated with love but these really dont carry any meaning to us...

lets hear your version of love..i am inquisitive to know what you think about it..

for me, love is essentially.. GIVING.. all you have for the happiness and welfare of the person you love..

the best part in love is that the more you GIVE, the more you are happy and satisfied..

if one has the above feeling on a consistent basis towards someone... he or she is in love.

rishimba - I did. Specifically the bit about its effect on rats... a species I don't normally associate with emotions like love. However, you are the resident expert in this field, so I defer to your expertise.

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down.

love is just an unstable feeling... sometyms it even confuses u with hate...its that misunderstandable...

i've always been alergic to luv since i last brokup in 2004...for how much i have understood this word...

it was perfect at 1 tym that turned out to be nothing in the end.

for those who r still in luv..be dedicated & be strong.

moste importantly.. be URSELF.

rishimba, it seems I am always disagreeing with you. Really, I am sorry about that. But according to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxytocin these hormones would also make a woman "in love" with going into labor. Hmmm...

cant say..what is love but let me tell you what happens in us when we are in love..

love is a 'feel-good' feeling in the brain of a person when there is a secretion of love hormones known as oxytocin and vasopressin. the levels of these hormones increase in the blood if somebody is said to be in love.

it has been proved that the level fluctuates and mostly increases when the loved one is around..
