This'll be Interesting

I'm going to have to disagree with you that love can't be something that is given... In fact, I think love should be an unconditional feeling of being drawn to someone else's character (it can include physical attraction too, but really doesn't have to). Expecting anything in return makes it somewhat false. The desire to be close to one you love doesn't fall under expectations of course, as long as you don't demand those hopes to be mutual. I also want to add that I completely agree with the point made earlier that when you love someone you care more about their well-being than your own.

The bond between a parent and his or her child(ren) is almost always one of caring and protection. Wishing to do everything you can for them is a natural 'duty', more or less. They do have a place in your heart without a doubt, but I don't see that as true love. It can become true love if you care so much about them that you'd feel the same way about them even if they weren't your children.

I would appreciate if someone would comment on my definition of love, as I have long felt it was the best definition I could find. Since the people here are above average in intelligence (and much cuter) than the rest of the society I'd hope if it has flaws you could poke some in it.

I agree with it, as I said.. but it doesn't cover all aspects of love (neither does my post...).

Then again, I never was one for short definitions and explanations

Well, in my opinion, love is the meaning of life, it's the best feeling that we can have.

Everything I do, I try to do with love, doesn't matter if I am studing, working, playing, dating, etc and etc.

Love is like a god to me

Simply like this.

Love is powerful; that much is for certain. It can dominate the priorities of men and women regardless of whether or not it is welcome. It is a sort of instinct, not of the body, but the heart and soul. I believe we can attempt to word love in our own way. However, much like fingerprints, everyone's description is different. In that retrospect, I believe it is a force we humans can barely comprehend but many of us accept it merely because of the wonders it can bring us.

Love is joy, love is pain
It shall never falter, never wane

Love is gentle, love is cruel
It possesses not a form or rule

It conquers will bit by bit
Making one feel happy, or like a piece of- Okay, I think I got my opinion across.

All I know is Love means enough to deserve having a capital letter, whether it is at the begining, middle, or end of a sentence. That is as extensive as my definition goes, currently.
