What is love? I don't want to burst your bubble, but, I don't know. I don't think anybody knows. That's why there's a song about it.

Perhaps that's why we're always seeking it. So we can understand it.

for the sake of arguing that you do have a perspective on the subject I'm posting what you sent to me on aim:

Lord Kerensky (6:41:27 PM): What is love? So far, I think that love has something to do with thinking about somebody not just in terms of desire, but in terms of fulfilling their happiness, becoming acquainted with the way they think and feel about everything on a level a step above how you interact with your best friends. It's the willingness to try things you've never tried before for the sake of making things work, or intersting.

I can't say if your take on love evolving into something that is more temporal in the current world is wrong or right, but it doesn't seem to me that the concept of love would evolve per ce. People have infatuations that they cannot distinguish from love all the time throughout their lives. They don't know they were infatuations until after the fact because i think love, by definition, is something that'll go on until death. That's probably one of the only things that separates it from an infatuation ( ... )

I completely agree with your view on infatuations and how people find it difficult to distinguish infatuations from love.

I don't think it's a "sin," or that it's even necessarily the worst thing in the world to define yourselves by who you're with, I merely don't understand why people do that. I think it makes them seem so desperate and weak, and I personally cannot understand why someone would want to appear that way.

But anyhow, definately comment with your take on the movie when you go see it :o) I hope you enjoy it!

Love is incredibly over-rated. over-rated, over-used and over-exploited. not to mention misused, misunderstood and mistaken.

Love is... anonymous December 12 2004, 18:29:51 UTC

...basically a result of brain chemistry. You find somebody and for some unexplainable reason, they trigger a release of happy chemicals in your brain that gives you the feeling that, more or less, this person is home, for lack of a better descriptor. Those who've been in love should understand the term, though. This is an interesting way to look at it, as it would seem to demystify and deromanticize the whole notion of love, being as how it's all chemistry, but at the same time, there's still some unknown factor that triggers it.

A different perspective on the subject, very nice.

Thanks for the input kid :o)

Love cannot be defined, becuase everyones true experiances with love are different from the next. Everyone has there own, unique and individual description of love that is how it has affected them in there life. although, you cant make that description untill you have truely and fully been in love.

I like your take on it, and to some degree I am sure it is correct, but as you said, one cannot describe love until they've fully and truly been engulfed in it, which I have not.

I appreciate the input Stevie-wonderful!
