What is LOVE?

• Is it a vibration or a feeling? Is it something you do? Both?
• Are anger and LOVE mutually exclusive?
• Is it possible to LOVE someone and hurt their feelings at the same time? If someone hurts my feelings, does that mean they don't LOVE me?
• How far does it go? Should we be willing to die for someone we LOVE?
• Are there people deserving of LOVE and others who aren't? Are there different levels of LOVE based on esteem?
• Is there anyone you must LOVE or is it optional?

This how I see it:

1 It is form of perception.
2 yes
3 no and no it means your insecurities are in the way
4 your life, your choice
5 no and no, either it is love or is it not
6 everything is optional, or so we are told...


I think human animal mostly perceives love on non conscious level. A need to mate. Even while not wanting a child female will look for father qualities in a man. And even while on a "quest of up-most importance" man can get turned on by a pair melons and alike.

When cheated women will ask: do you love her BUT man will ask: where did he touch you

I think most people are not in love...they are just excited over the new experience...after that...when they get used to the experience...they either separate or stay together - economic safety, "used" to be with someone...etc

It is extremely superficial...

and yes I am more than aware that my "conclusions" lack additional elaboration...but there is simply no time to type an essay and it is a complex subject...

it reaches inside of you...even if one does not admit that...and it can make people react badly..so here is where I stop
