What is love?
I was sitting in class today and I overheard my best friend telling the teacher that she loved her (as a teacher, of course). I know there are different kinds of love and different ways of loving someone but...
What is love actually? I mean, I know love is an emotion, right? What does love mean though? People say "I love you" all of the time but I have no idea what love really means now that I think of it. I think I love certain people but then what if my definition of love is wrong and, really, I have a totally different feeling toward those people than I thought?
Anyway, what is love?

No one can really tell another person what love is, or how they may love someone. It is truly undescribable because everyone has different experiences of falling in love. It is true that for someone you love, you will care deeply for them and will be very passionate towards them. It's being there for that person and supporting them through whatever may come their way. It's being happy for them no matter what. There are different kinds of love however. The way you love your parents or best friend is most certainly not the same way you love your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife, whatever. I really do believe in soulmates though. I believe in this because a lot of people do not realize that you don't really love with your heart, you love with your soul and mind. You feel connected with this person in a way. When they're not there with you it feels almost unnatural and you feel like you lost a part of you. You accept this person for who they are. Many wonder why they call it "falling" in love. I personally think it is because when you fall like trip, it is unexpected and you don't see it coming and love is the exact same way. You never think you will fall in love with someone, it just happens, and that is the most exiting part of it. I will tell you that love can hurt, deeply. It will not always be a blissful time. There will be lots of different emotions and feelings going on. There comes a time when you may wonder if it is wrong or right and things start to get blurry, confusion is very common. I believe that you will always love someone even if you're not with them anymore, you just learn to live without them. To love someone you have to be somewhat mature because you cannot be selfish, you cater to their needs and desires. When you're with that person or even just thinking of them, it's like the whole world stops, and at that very moment, they're all that matters. I really hope I helped :]

love has a different meaning to everyone. some people mean it some people don't. love is something most people would fight for and risk everything for, while some people think nothing of it. there's a kind of love that just means you really care about someone, like a family, or a friend, and then there's a love that can be painful or it can be something that brings happiness into your life. when a person says "I LOVE YOU" they should mean it, they can be just words, but words sometimes hurt others if they aren't really meant, or true. Love is considering and honoring others, their whole being. when you love a person, you don't see their imperfections or the mistake they make, but you see way past that. you only see perfection in them. and another important thing, love is always respectful. :)
"Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
--Paul in I Corinthians 13:4-7

To be completley honest on this one, I believe that the perception of love can differ from one person to the next, to the next, and so on. There are most definitley people who show HOW they love one another in much different ways. This can also sometimes be know as language of love. For instance, a middle-aged, hard working man in today's society is more likely to show how he loves his family by providing for them by working to pay the bills and pay for the families needs. In his mind, that may be giving all the love he has to offer. On the other hand, a twenty year old young lady who is still single could show love in an entirely opposite way. If she has a boyfriend, she may be very attached to him and may want to be with him as much as possible. In her mind, this is her way of giving love; being with him. Back to the middle aged man however with his family, he may not tell his wife every opporotunity he gets that he loves her, even though he does with all his heart. I truely suppose it's all in how YOU show love, and theres only one way to find that out; experimentation. Pyschologists say that your late teen and early twenty years is the most crucial time in your lifetime to find out what you like and what you don't like about the opposite sex. Before you may have thought you wanted a boyfriend or girlfriend that would be with you all of the time, but then after dating a few times, you may realize you enjoy having a little more space than you first thought. It's all in giving it a little time and discovering what you personally like. I believe the language of love differs from person to person in this world, but I think love in general is caring for someone extremely deeply and passionatley. If you most likely ask anyone why they love someone and they give there most honest answer, there is a great chance that they would probably sum it up that they care for the person they love. However, some will reply.. I just do, I just love.. (him or her). Love is one of the biggest mysterys of all time in human history, and believe me when I say, I think we will never fully understand it. It's somthing extremely powerful and can only be achieved when the feelings are there. I really hope I helped you out! Dave :)
