LOVE IS................?

Every person has its different perception regarding the true meaning of LOVE.
Each of us has different opinions/thinking on how much LOVE can affect our daily living.

With the world drowning in a sea of hatred, oppression, war, starvation and any manner of atrocities towards our fellow man, the question begs if we can behave in this way then how do we manage to include the word "love" in our vocabulary. Never the less it is there and we use it when we refer to our families, close friends even our pets, but what is love? We struggle to describe love but there can be no doubt it exists in all of us. For example the boy who drowned in the Queensland floods of January 2011. When rescuers offered to save him from his parents sinking car he made them take his brother first, then he was swept away to his death. And we can all relate to the gut wrenching feeling we have when we know someone we love has been hurt physically or emotionally.

According to wiki, Love is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment. Love is also a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection; and "the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another". Love may also be described as actions towards others or oneself based on compassion, or as actions towards others based on affection.

Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.
