What is love?
To me:
The word love signifies a condition of life, any condition has very distinct components or elements which make it what it is regardless of culture. Death is death because there are factors that we look at that lead us to that conclusion. A bit of a graphic example but it drives the point home. Love is love because there are factors that lead to that condition. Therefore, the meaning of love is not something that is derived from opinion, but the presence of the factors that result in the living condition we call love.
What does it mean to you?

Love the verb or love the noun?
well, having lost emotions and regained them, I would say it goes under the "bond" category. Your basic emotions are bond and detach. You have fear from detach and feel good when you bond, alive, so I think bond is feeling alive or love. A lot of people get confused with lust and love because they're addicted to fucking instead of bonding for other reasons.
I don't feel love. I feel familiar or relief. I don't feel attacked to other adults whatsoever and reject love from males.
I feel joy-love around my siblings.
love is underrated. ironic considering how media and culture over rate everything else.
to me love (in our narcissistic culture) is valuing another person, idea or entity more than one's self. i can say i love (some) music because i forfeit my life for it; a slow suicide of Pygmalion-styled infatuation.
i can say that i loved a girl, because i did anything i could to make her happy... however since she didn't accept it, she wasn't loved.
in essence love is expressing something that shouldn't be expressed according to the popular beliefs of that culture, and hoping that the other person is thankful for the intimacy and inclusion of having it expressed toward them. being loved is being happy to be the manifestation of perfection in another's eyes, and to want to be witnessed by that specific person. to want to have immortality through the caring shown towards you; caring that will remain in the lover long after the loved withers or dies.
that last sentence is why i take rejection really badly. in a fame obsessed society, not wanting someone to know you, is a big insult.
i've given up on love... regardless, do you think i'm semi close to an accurate view of love? and what are your thoughts towards what i put forth?
