Love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment.[1] Love is also a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection; and "the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another".[2] Love may also be described as actions towards others or oneself based on compassion, or as actions towards others based on affection.[3]
In English, love refers to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from pleasure ("I loved that meal") to interpersonal attraction ("I love my partner"). "Love" may refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love, to the sexual love of eros, to the emotional closeness of familial love, to the platonic love that defines friendship,[4] or to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love.[5] This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, compared to other emotional states.
Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.[6]
Love may be understood as part of the survival instinct, a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.[7]

I think there are different kinds of love, the kind you have for your mum and family is different to that you have with your spouse or partner, different again is that love you feel for your children, you may love them all, but in very different ways, I also love porridge (oatmeal) but not in quite the same way as I do my husband.........oooh hard choice

Love is the meaning of life. Without love we die. Within the first 24 hours of a human beings life if it is not held it will die. We must feel connected, wanted, cherished, important, and all that is a small part of love. We are social creatures, with intelligence and feelings that crave reciprocation. Love encourages us, motivates us, excites us, and helps us to forge on. Real love is a lengthly lesson for most people, but if you are not completely self-absorbed, you will learn and know love in your life and then you can try to explain the meaning of it. Love is Godsfrosting on His cake of Life.
