I think...when ' it's good love is great, when ' it's' bad it is bloody awful. But that does not make it less.......

Multi-faceted, and often pure and very, very powerful. Consider the love of a parent for a child. Smile
 
I speak from experience -- that form of love is beautiful, uplifting, immensely moving, life-affirming, etc, etc!
 
Stern Smile I would lay down my life for one of my children. Heart
 
Likely the poll targets the love of man & woman, boyfriend & girlfriend, etc, but as I've indicated, love does not need to have a sexual dimension. 
 
Deep friendship can be a manifestation of love too. One can even love one's pet.
 
"Because love's the final word -- nothing conquers love.
reason has to bow, if love demands it."
 
I believe we all want love, and we all need it (unless one is psychopathic).
 
Shocked Did you know that scientists have found that the child who is deprived of hugs (as a demonstration of parental love) will be stunted in growth? What does that tell you?
 
We are social beings, as are our closest animal relatives:

Love is a lot like Dream Theater, overly complex and a waste of time. Wink

Love is all you need.
 
To make it short, love can be everything and has so many faces, totally depends on the position. It can be painful, gappy, sad, true, false, enlightening, pleasant, beautiful, ugly, cruel..
 
My personal experience are maybe that diverse, too. But as I'm still young, there will be even more to experience.. /delete every cheesy statement in your mind, please..

I don't know. I'm a simple person, and I think all I really need is love to live a happy life.

U2 - "Love is Blindness"

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my heart
Love is blindness

In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness

Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Blindness

A little death
Without mourning
No call
And no warning
Baby...a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense

Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Take the money
Honey
Blindness

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Blindness

Achtung Baby is U2's best work and one of the greatest albums ever.

Love is the thema of most of the TOP 40 hit singles. Love sells perfume, chocolate, sex toys - not together. Love is just a tool. Love is love is love is love... Love is lava. Love is a protection. Love is boring. Luv, luv, luv, luv, luuuuuuv.

Kim Wilde was right. Love is..what you want it to be.

To quote John Varley: Wouldn't it be sweet to be 17 again, and to have a broken heart for the first time again?

For me, love is the sheer joy and a reason for a living--I'm in love again, with a gorgeous lady, it's a fresh new start for me and it's great!
Percussion, sir!

No.  I suggest that they're simply sentimentalizations of love.

Expressions of love can turn into cliques. Love (with the big L, preferably) can hardly be called a clique.

I think that you mean "cliche" rather than "clique."  In any case, my point was that the characterizations of love delineated in this thread are indeed cliches.

Yep. One as in you & you alone. The way you've initially put it, love sounds like chemistry.


Perhaps Fromm's definition may not be the stuff of greeting cards or Harlequin novels, but it certainly does coincide with the view of Western philosophy and the great world religions.
