| Three years ago I would've voted 'painful'. Now, on the eve of my wedding day, I cannot but choose the second option.... REAL love (not infatuation) is a wonderful feeling, and I am very happy that it came along when I had already lost hope of ever finding it. |

Nobody can define it for anybody else. There can be as many definitions of love as there are human beings (including those uncapable of human feelings...)
It's necessary. It's beautiful when you find it, horrible when you lose it, a utopia when you can't find it, an illusion when you can't feel it.
I like it. -------------

“Love is an expression and assertion of self-esteem,
a response to one's own values in the person of another. One gains a
profoundly personal, selfish joy from the mere existence of the person
one loves. It is one's own personal, selfish happiness that one seeks,
earns, and derives from love.”

Love is kind
not one bit
love is blind
love is...
from the Maestoso album Grim
Love is great and a wonderful feeling when you have it and it's very painful when you lose it. Sadly, in our reality you can't have happiness without pain. Is the good feeling worth the pain? You bet. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

True love , think for a second......... It's only available with mutual trust. Trust is hard enough to find...... The mutual makes it even more precious. I am a hopeless romantic and I can state that there is a very fine line between love and pain. Just read some of Bryan Ferry's lyrics , its all about "Heartache" and not the stomach puke kind either...... ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

"You don't love because, you love despite" (W. Faulkner) - that's the tricky issue. Too many people break up over nothing, let their flaws ruin their relationship (or do something utterly wrong to ruin it), too many people treat love superficially, too many people mistake love for sex...etc. I am however glad when friends of mine manage to pull a beautiful "love story" - and wish them to never change that (like my best friend, who will deeply shock me if ever breaking up with the girl he's with right now, that's how strong their bond looks like - like you, JayDee, having happily build a family  - like Raff & Micky, finally united for life since yesterday and having went through tough times to achieve that...and such)-------------

It's the best feeling in the world when you share it with someone. It's the most lonely thing in the world when you give it to someone without it being returned. It's pretty good for your ego when several people love you. However, the darkest thing is that it's the most painful thing in the world when it is taken away from you. In all situations. ------------- "Market value is irrelevant to intrinsic value." Arnold Schoenberg |

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. |
Posted By: Ricochet
Date Posted: December 24 2008 at 09:35
Greeting cards or Harlequin Novels are expressions of or about love. Expressions of love can turn into cliques. Love (with the big L, preferably) can hardly be called a clique. -------------

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! ------------- |

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.

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 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..

Multi-faceted, and often pure and very, very powerful. Consider the love of a parent for a child. 
I speak from experience -- that form of love is beautiful, uplifting, immensely moving, life-affirming, etc, etc!
 I would lay down my life for one of my children.  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).
 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:

Unless that's a reference to the scoring system (no pun intended), I assume that's a direct translation of a line from some obscure Kobaian love song; in which case, I think it lost something in the translation - I believe the true translation states "Love means nothing when your hovercraft is full of eels" -------------

Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow. A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing. Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy. We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, Sunday, April 6th. I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year." We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sigh... ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I hardly think the two are mutually exclusive.
I don't know your age, but it's very easy to be cynical about love --and life in general -- when young. (I know, because I wasn't always middle-aged.)
Did/does your mother love you? Was that "cheap?" ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

What I mean is, that one can love one's true (same sex) friends, no? Love is not just confined to the realm of sexuality, is it? 
Don't mothers (or fathers, one would hope) love their children? Isn't parental/familial love one of the most important forms of love?
I think many here -- yourself included-- are being very "cool" and flippant about the subject. That's fine, but I'm trying to be sincere. ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |
