What is Love? Your Views Please...

To be sure a question mired in cliché. But the actual practice of the subject may be a most rare occurrence indeed, so we shouldn't dismiss it too quickly. I intend to elaborate on the subject but crave your perspective.

Please, in your own words or the words that best fit your personal understanding...

Thanks,

CY

    Love is the word humans use to define the sense of attraction, compassion and attachment we feel towards other members of our species (and occasionally members of other species, like pets) caused by chemical processes in the brain. Sometimes caused and spurred on by arousal, pleasure, intellectual stimulation (also pleasure) and innate altruism.

    I think, anyway.

  7. Wonderful perspective from Morsecode and Willow Carver. Love like Time is an abstraction... it needs to be view in relation to something else. The Mamallian Brain comes equipped with the pleasure centers that facilitate this feeling of love. Is that love? I dont think so... Its far beyond just feeling or expression of feeling.
