What is Love?

Okay.i guess almost everyone has experience the feeling of Love right?It doesn't really matter who.It may be the Love of God,our parents,siblings,best friend,the opposite sex or even our pet.But do we really know the meaning of Love?I don't know.Cause most of the time when we have a boyfriend/girlfriend and before we go to sleep or even randomly we'll just say 'I Love you' to each other.i mean do we say it cause we mean it?or it's cause he/she says it and you Have to reply so that the moment wouldn't feel awkward?But it can be really weird at times cause I've seen people saying that to each other even though they just knew each other for about a week?odd.


Whatever it is..Back to the question.Do we know the meaning of Love??

So I've found Wikipedia.....

Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection.The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure for instance "I loved that meal" to an intense interpersonal attraction like "I love my girlfriend". This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love.



Impersonal Love

A person can be said to love a country, principle, or goal if they value it greatly and are deeply committed to it. Similarly, compassionate outreach and volunteer workers' "love" of their cause may sometimes be borne not of interpersonal love, but impersonal love coupled with altruism and strong political convictions. People can also "love" material objects, animals, or activities if they invest themselves in bonding or otherwise identifying with those things. If sexual passion is also involved, this condition is called paraphilia.


Interpersonal Love

Interpersonal love refers to love between human beings. It is a more potent sentiment than a simple liking for another. Unrequited love refers to those feelings of love that are not reciprocated. Interpersonal love is most closely associated with interpersonal relationships. Such love might exist between family members, friends, and couples. There are also a number of psychological disorders related to love, such as erotomania.
