What is Love…………
People are strange the way that they define things like love for instance. If you think about it love is something that’s not really a tangible thing, I mean you cant really smell it, touch it, or hear it but you can feel it. Is sex the expression of love or is a gentle kiss an expression or are they both or neither of them, is it little wonder that we get confused about love or by love.
Many far more educated and intelligent people have pondered the question about love I am no different. If you can be in love what does that really mean that you feel love for someone or are we all in different states of love. What would you say to someone you really liked that you feel in love with him or her or you love them?. If you really think about it there are so many different types of love they are all different and they all mean different things.
If you made the statement that you love ice-cream that would be different to the type of love you have for a brother or sister. Is it just a matter of the English language not having more than one word for love I know that in other languages there are many types of love, Eros and Agape for instance are 2 different types of love and two different words.
It would be a very different place if we could express our love properly for different things. I would really like to be able to tell some of my male friends that I love them without getting a funny look or a punch in the mouth. love isn’t really well defined it’s all very much a subjective feeling we use to describe what we are feeling in reality our love could actually be something completely different like lust or admiration or even companionship.
I really think that we need to think about how we use the word love .In reality I have been in love many times before I didn’t stop loving the people I have “fallen” in love, just that love has changed in some way. This doesn’t me that because I don’t feel in love with them I don’t love them it’s just different. As I stated earlier we just don’t have a word that lets people know what level of love I have for them.
I think we should try and be open to love all the time. We can enjoy the love we feel for others and can and should express it as much as possible and where appropriate that could be expressing our love in a physical way. The pleasure that we give when we are in love cannot be underestimated and we should always be open to allowing our partners the same right. We only get what we give back so if you have an aura of love around you surely you will receive love back over and over again, so go out there and spread love around you will be surprised at what you get back.
