UNDERSTANDING: Having been in a love relationship for five wonderful years now has helped me come to an understanding of love which is somewhat both simple and complex. Complex for i see and consider so many things and acts to be what love is about, as manifestations of love. but i also consider love to be simple, for despite the seemingly endless manifestations of love it really boils down to one thing- when you feel that you love the person (which might be a very complicated matter for some-to verify if you really love the person)and then ultimately chose to love the person, then all of the manifestations of love will follow. you then care for the person, respect the person, desire the person etc. DESCRIPTION: my description of love would be that it is that intense passionate feeling which you feel towards a person. a feeling which i am sure cant be put to words. but perhaps i can describe love by enumerating the things that come out of love. this things are what you do when you love. to name a few are: care, respect, desire, understand, commitment, affection, ets. DEFINITION: as i have said previously, love can't be understood only through words.i believe that there really is no exact definition of love, for love goes beyond words. but i would like to give my definition of love, one which is limited only to my capability to articulate it. for me love is that all caring and tender feeling that you feel towards a person, a feeling that if not acted upon is worthless. if you love a person it is not enough that you feel that love but what really is important is that you act through that love. you act lovingly towards that person-you care for the person, you respect that person so forth and so on.
