How would you define love?

Love can't be defined in words. It is a strong feeling towards someone. There is difference between attraction and love.

To me, love is unconditional. Hubs and I have it.

I feel there are two types of love- the first being normal love and the second being higher love. The first love is common. It is more duty than love. Love of parents, children etc.. Higher love is what you mentioned- Buddha, Lao tse, Christ etc.. we can love the bad people also, even those who hurt us. Can a man who catches his wife in adultery will still be able to love her? A girl who is madly in love with a boy- would she still love him if she came to know that he has the habit of molesting women in public places? A boy who is in love with a girl- would he still love her if she slaps him hard on the face?

I would define it as one of the purest human qualities if it is real

Well...it's not so easy to define love but as I feel...love is a feeling that makes you blind believer...you cannot put your thoughts on a single step you take being in love.

Love is something I like to read about and hear. I always love to think the concept of love in books. But you are right. Love is something that will do many things to you without your permission. Your love for family and friends, everyone counts. But apart from family and friends love, I still don't know much of it.

Love is a feeling of caring and demonstrated by words and actions.

Rightly said. I agree. Love is unconditional too
