Love to be defined depends on ones subjective understanding and experience of man, that is why i can only provide my defenition in the basis of how i understand and experience love. Love is but the most ironic independent reality one can grasp. Ironic because its supposed to the most accessible thing in life but it seems its difficult for one to ask someone to love you back. Love is ironic because its supposed to be man's natural tendency to love, feel love, but it also seem when hate is cultivated the nature of man to love is overshadowed...like it is difficult to feel love toyour enemies, to those who rebuke you, those who you cant trust..now how else can love be natural when it is said to be a choice...if you choice to whether or not to love, then it deviates the understanding of being human as to possess the capacity to love,to havr the heart and feel compassion..isn't that the main difference of human beings from thr other form? (anyway this is just a spur of thought) LOve again is ironic because it presents itself as a simple reality , the easiest emotion to feel and share but then as you not only feel it but understand it or dig into the core of it then it presents a different face...no longer simple but its as complex as life and death... This is how i experienced love .
