What is love?

Until now, nobody can definition about it. Following me, I think love is not only for a couple but also for others in the world, include the poor person.

Love is "the balance" in a relationship.

´To extend oneself to nurture one´s own or somebody else´s spiritual growth.´ That´s the definition of Scott Peck, who wrote the famous book ´The Road Less Traveled´. He talks about 'cathexis´, a term from psychology where you incorporate somebody else (or your dog, or your rosegarden, for that matter) into your psychological structure, thereby making it a part of yourself. I like it. It implies compassion, co-suffering, and co-happiness. And, more importantly, it implies effort. He says ´to extend oneself´, and that, too, implies an a priori decision to love. Might sound a little theoretical when I write it here, but I do recommend his book.

well...for me its like when grandma couldnt polish nails due to the backpain...but still grandpa does it for grandma....instead of his backpain....

Love is when you know that nobody else will do but the one you are with.
