What Is Love?

[Alpha]

What's your definition or criteria for "love".

Is there one? Is it unconditional or conditional regardless of your beleifs and or perhaps jaded or altered by your egos or needs or not??

What is love to you?...how you give it, how you receive it...how you know it is either in the now or beyond, globally or elsewhere???

Or do you even care?....and if you don't, why not??

What is, is Love.

Know that in the deepest part of you, and your being will explode... the mind can't possibly contain this love, it is too vast and too beautiful.

[blackeyes]

Simple, Love is the act of giving of ones self. Unconditionally.

[snowbird]

Love is being there for each other. Taking turns holding each other up when necessary. Being partners and friends together and knowing that sometimes we get forgetful of our commitment but accepting that we're human and carrying on.

Tina Turner: What's Love Got To Do With It


You must understand
That the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill
Of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical

Only logical
You must try to ignore
That it means more than that

Ohh, what's love got to do
Got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do
Got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken

It may seem to you
That I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed
I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it

There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason
You do it for me

Ohh, what's love got to do
Got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do
Got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken

I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel that way

Ohh, what's love got to do
Got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do
Got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken

What's love got to do
Got to do do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do got to dooo
Got to do with it

Neil Diamond has a song where he sings about love ... I can't remember all the lyrics ... something about not being an angel but being a man.

"Love is a many spendored thing". Who can explain it?

All I know is that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."They say, when your heart's on fire, you must realize,Smoke gets in your eyes.Now laughing friends deride, tears I cannot hide--you must realize,when your hearts on fire, you must reaize, smoke gets in your eyes.So I smile and say, when a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes.Now I chaf them and I gaily say, when your heart's on fire, smoke gets your eyes.Sorry, gang. This was from a pitiful poor memory. But it is all too true.

per Carlyle

love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith.
I call it rather a discerning of the infinite in the finite ....of the ideal made real.

Love is a temporary state of mind. Enjoy it while it lasts.
