what is the meaning of love?

love is the attraction and rebound against an object or a subject but not must to have the object / subject

This was said in a movie I saw and although it sounds a little cheesy I still agree with it. But I believe that "true love is the souls recognition of it's counterpoint in another." I think this makes perfect sense and it's quite possibly the best definition of love that ive ever found.

I the meaning of love is caring and always give respect to your partner.. yes for me it is the meaning of love.. yes it is a sacred feelings which only feel by heart.. so i always respect to love.. because if their is respect in love.. then you love will increase daily..

I remember someone told me the definition of love and I think it is really true. "Love is both something that happens to you and you decide upon." This means that love is not just an attraction to someone (something that happens to you which is passive) but also a decision. So when you see someone attractive for example a movie star that is not love because you realize that it is difficult or impossible to have a relationship with a celebrity unless you are a celebrity yourself that get to meet that person on a regular basis. Likewise, when you are attracted to a person who is already married, is that love? That depends on your decision. You need to weigh the risks and reward of loving such a person. Loving a married person can cause a lot of problems, conflicts and heartaches to the spouse or child of that person. If you think that the married person is worth the risk to love then maybe you can go ahead decide to love him. Otherwise, if you think that the risks outweigh the reward of loving such a person then maybe you need to back off. In other words, it's all up to you to be in love or not with that person.

A lot of things had been said about love through the ages, but most of the time a lot people missed the point of what love is. I guess it's because as human as we are we tend to let our emotions get the better of us. For me, love invokes a great degree of willful commitment towards the good of others. Attraction on the other hand settles for what you feel is good for you. To put it simply: Love equals good of others; Attraction or liking equals good to self. Therefor, for me, a married man or a married woman cannot be loving if all he or she does is do things to the detriment of his wife or her husband. The same is true for a single man or single woman. He or she can't be loving if all he or she does violates the very essence of love - the GOOD and COMPLETENESS of others. I'm not a Christian but I think there's a verse in the Bible that perfectly describes my own understanding of what love is and what love really is. Let me quote it here: "Love is patient, love is kind... It does not envy, it does not boast... It is not rude, it is not self-seeking... Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in truth... Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8)
