Glad that my little posting got your attention.... Good.
What is Love,... it has been the focus of many songs, poems, novels and
movies..
besides all the hype and excitement... when all the dust and smoke, all the
glare and glamour... What is Love.
Many women and men search all the life for it and was never found.. many
other think that they found love but only realizing that was not...
What is love then,... love is companionship, friendship, trust, commitment,
honesty, and tolerance... It is not a multiple choice or a true or false
question that can be easily answered....
I am a person in search of the true definition of love....on the
information super-highway... Not because I lack the knowledge of love but
to share and gain better understanding............

I would say love is...umh...giving, caring, and may be a lot of
freedom by each other.

Well, I might add one more thing, love is a good feeling of human
being.


I hope I am on the right track, am I?

Love is you. Who you are and what you are inside. It is the inner beauty.
This enables you to give of yourself to others without asking anything in
return as Christ gave His life for you.

In one simple answer. CHRIST IS LOVE

Perhaps love is not to defined in words or any other artificial manner...
it is like an electron: you know it exists, but you have never seen it
but you just take it on faith that it exists... or it's like pain: what
you feel may not be the same or even similar to what other people feel,
but you put a generic tag on it called "love"... who knows?

I agree on your thoughts about the meaning of the word 'LOVE'. It's a
pity that many of us keep searching for the not existing love of their
life. By doing that they sometimes hurt their lover, partner by taking
off to search the unreachable.

Hi

A lot of people has different definitions for love. Love can
be anything, as you can see on the other people's reply.
For me, i agree that love is just simply caring, it defines it
all, but I would ask this, what is the true definition of true love?

I think if you look at the divorce rate and the abuse rate (verbal and
otherwise), it's obvious that real love is what takes people through
and over the bad times. The sad times. The hardship times. It's
not very hard to love someone when everything is warm and fuzzy
and all is well. It's the hard times where character, honestly,
compassion, and *LOVE* show up. Or they don't. I don't think enough
of us realize that. We take the good times, and attempt to run away
from the hard times. It the hard times when people REALLY need someone
who "loves" them

Just my opinion, but what the heck do I know? I'm still single at 37.

To me, love is when you can share your innermost thoughts with another
person and know that you can trust them with your secrets... its when
you can care for the person you love and you don't have any doubts
about whether or not they care about you, you just know they love you
as much as you love them...I knew I loved my boyfriend when I felt
like I could trust him with anything and share anything with him and
he didn't hold anything I said against me and he shared his thoughts
with me as well...its all about sharing and respect and being sincere.

Well, you can't find love through the Internet, that's for sure. If you do,
there are risks. As for Christ, yes, he loves all.

Yes, love... i always believed if you subordinated love to a higher aim
then the love problems would take care of themselves, and after three
important relationships with men who shared my deepest convictions my
marriage ended, with 2 children in the middle. in chile! i was 39, too
free and intelligent to find anyone here, and i still think it's true.
so i got on the net just to have male friends again after 13 years of no
friendship with men... and i found someone in italy, 11 yrs younger,
who'd never been on a plane or out of europe before. that was a year
ago and three meetings later... i found something so simple, so kind
that i never thought could happen to me... and that i never even hoped i
might one day have. i don't know, i realize now that you have to set the
goal of learning to love, your whole life. it's not mechanical, it's
intentional. but it can't be 100% intentional. you have to know
yourself and the kind of person you really need. you have to genuinely
love and respect yourself, before someone else will find you who wants
to love and respect you too... sexual vibes are good for starters, but
spiritual considerations weigh in the long run, too.

On the contrary, if you truely love someone and they turn away from you, you
will feel a lot of pain.

Also, when someone you love is going through a tough time and there doesn't
seem to be enough that you can do to help - that can hurt too!

That's naive. True love can be extremely painful. Have you ever
loved someone intently but they didn't feel the same way? Ever had
someone you love deliberately hurt you? Painful love can be very
real. It just isn't very satisfying.

Love is the greatst thing in the world. It's what makes you happy.
They closeness. But honestly, Love has no definition. Someone could
say Love is my Watermellon that eat everyday. And someone say Love is
my puppy that died last year. Yet someone could say Love is my wife.

Love to me is mutual respect and understanding. It is accepting the other
person as they are and letting them be who they are. It is giving them
the space they need when they need it and also being there for them. It is
caring for the other person, and sharing tender moments and riding out the
rough times together. It is calm and peaceful and unselfish and giving.

If you want to know what love is, ask yourself this question,
Why i do the things i do?, Why i want the things i want?,
Why i care for the people i care?,...
and the answer for questions like these is love.

I strongly believe that love is just caring.

I love my car, i care about it.
I love my family and my girl, and i care about them,
and for christians,
Jesus loves you, and he cares about you.

and i wrote before, true love is not painful, well
i was wrong. I probably just thought about painful in physical way.
Someone said, Love can be painful. yeah i agree.

go through what they are? Yes, love hurts, almost too much!

I'm new at this newsgroups thing like everyone else it seems. I don't
know much about a definition for love as such, but I do have a definition
for passion that you may find humorous :-)

Passion is a feeling you feel

I am afraid, I cannot agree with you. I think, on the contrary, on the
Internet it is very easy to find love which you really need.

For no matter what the definition, love is a complex need which resides
inside us, and we need someone else this need to share. I am not talking
about sexual need here. In a much broader sense, I mean.

When you dont' see and don't hear the person with whom you get in touch,
if you are honest enough with yourself, you can very easily open your
heart, and you have a lot of place in your heart, to listen the other
one, and to understand.

Risks, of course are involved, but this is another stage, AFTER Internet.
And it, by the way, much more has to do with the sexual part of a love.
But then in a real life there are also risks involved, a lot of risks,
only if one wants to take them, one has a fair chance to succeed.

Of course it is my opinion, how can I know of a sincere opinion of
someone else?

not necessarily. love is something very vital, strong and important.
how can anything that isn't important cause pain? but the pain makes
you appreciate the joy better.

I will give this little bit of input from my own past.
Love has trust.
To love is to care more for the other then you do for yourself.
Love is blind to the small falts and inperfections of the other person.
Love is putting your needs secound.
and last but not least

Love is the Greatest feeling that one can ever experience...........

let me know if you get this.

The absence of love is easily defined. DEATH.
Without love of something, at least love of self, there is no reason for
life. Sometimes people cann't see the love around them, then it's
called suicide.

Love is many things, but what is love? Is it something you fall into
like a hole? Is it a spell of magic that entrances you and makes you do
things for another that you wouldn't do for others? Can anyone ever
answer the question, "What is Love?" I think they can, but I have not
yet seen a good response to the question. People keep telling each
other what love can be, not what it is. What's your opinion?

Love is comfortable. It's the feeling you get of extreme assurance.
Everything in the world is right, and all just perfect. in a state of
love, you can usually not be disturbed from it. (Well, that's true love
anyway), but then again, what is love if it's not true?

It can't be pegged down. You can't capture the exact moment the sun sinks
on a camera. You can't capture a beautiful song on tape. because it's
not life. Love is life, it is nothing but real and people know it when
they see it. It hits 'em in the bottom of the heart and there's nothing
you can do about it because love is natural and can't be bottled.

Absolutely not true. Love can never hurt. What hurts is rejection. Love
can be nothing good because love is the opposite of hate and if love was
bad sometimes then hate would win out in the balance and the world would
blow up as a result.

I don't think one can understand love until they has felt it. I have been
in love... but not mutually. I know how wonderful love can be... until
you realize that the one you love will never return it.

Love is another term for value, extreme value. What we love we
value highly.
We value what complete or enhances our identity, our
individuality. As rational beings we are individually capable of
determing the value of things in relation to our own individual
identities. When someone has extraordinary value to us and in
relationship with our identity, the fulfillment of our self image,
then we say we love them.
We all have an image of the person we would like to be and the
life we would like to live. The person who we love fits into this
configeration.

It hurts! Just imagine the person u love has big worries, and there's
nothing u can do... It's the worst feeling I can think of, it really
hurts, just because of love.

As with all things that are worth having - love is an entity to
be worked on by both individuals involved. Love is also individual
to those involved - Love is not the same for everyone everywhere.

It is 'kind of' summed up in the following:

As long as you love me -
As long as you care -
I'll do anything for you -
I'll go anywhere.

As long as forever -
My love will be true -
For as long as you love me -
I'll always love you.

But this def. opens the possibility of abuse of power. For this def to
be accurate (and I hope it can be), both parties must be emotionally
stable and mature enough with themselves to permit another person to be
in love with them. Few people are.

Love

finds a place
to live
some nearby park
or patch of ground
yielding
gnarled roots of an old tree
naked
from years of rain and
touch
even a doorway
the hard knob
nudging you forward
into each other's arms
where ever
a stone bench
provides a seat
a porch glider
a hammock
the private cocoon
of even the smallest car
can be comfortable
in Love's
warm
moist
palm

any where
there is space for two
there is space for one

First find love
Love finds a place

Paintful love may be even more true than love without paint. For
example, if you really love some one, but he/she doesn't love you at
all. It's very paintful for a person you loves, but doesn't get same
feelings back.

Hah!
(0) The opposite of absence is presence.
(1) The absence of love is DEATH. (Make that "death", for all Terry P. fans.)

If you've starting to take love to bits, please do continue and tell me (us ?)

Apart from being the opposite of hate, I mean.

Which doesn't count if you reject both of them.

Love is by nature undefinable. For each person love is different and
the only constant in peoples definition seems to be a deep feeling of
care for another. But love is a double edged sword, I have loved in my
life and it was at the same time pure bliss and absolute hell for me.
People think that love will make everything better, but it has the
strong possibility to make things worse. Love can bring about pure joy
but also suicide provoking depression. Love is, was, and always will
be, the most complicated and at the same time the simplest of al
emotions.
