What Is Love?
Love is not demanding, constraining, stiffling or conditional of who you are or want to be. Love should be uplifting and liberating. what many people call love, I believe, is possession. A relatingship, marriage or otherwise, does not conote ownership. What folks call love in this modern society is in many case self love. Much of what we want out of a relationship centers upon "what I want."

Love is forgetting about yourself, love is not selfish, love does not look for fights or a winner, love involves two people giving of themselves for the betterment of the other. It's vitally important to see that love is a commitment and not a feeling. The feeling of love can come and go, but true love does not change or wavier. Too many poeple today think that love is what can you do for me, when it needs to be what can I do for you. All humans were made to give, as a society we respect those who give, whether its money or talents. Love fills us but to experience true love we must first empty ourselves for the sake of another.
What love really is, we, as a society have been conditioned to seek the opposite. Love becomes possession, control, domination, an attempt to fulfill an unwholesome self.
It's like the difference between a grape and grape flavoring. Most prefer the flavoring because they have never savored the real fruit. It's one thing to really love, it's another to find another who can joyfully accept it. Real love can be frightening to the uninitiated.
LOVE IS SOMETHING THAT A PERSON CAN NOT CONTROL. WHEN YOU ARE HURT AND WANT TO FORGET THAT INDIVIDUAL THE LOVE IS NEVER LOST BUT HAS TO BE DISPLACED.YOU MAY WANT TO FORGET THEM BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS ON YOUR MIND.TO ADD, I AGREE THAT PEOPLE ARE SET TO BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE TO LOVE SO THEY ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR IT EVEN IF THEY NEVER REALLY KNOW THE TRUE FEELING OF LOVE.
Love is a choice, but a choice based on what,a movie, a love song, a disfunctional upbringing? We should be very clear about what we call love. What someone offers as love, to me may look like a wet mop. Are we really loving or just loving ourselves?
Love is a feeling in which we all go through throughout our lives. There are many variations of love. There is the love between family, friends, and the love between two individuals who are committed to each other. It's tough to define the term love as just one specific definition. Everyone has their own definition of love, but whatever it may be, we all experience love at some point in our lifetime.
