What Love Is!

Have you ever tried to describe the meaning of love? While most people know it when they feel it, and they find a way to express it, it's not easy to describe. I liken it to trying to tell someone who's never tried a banana what that tastes like. So I did some research. Where else would you look for a definition but the dictionary.Here's what they said....

A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.

Sexual passion.
Sexual intercourse.
A love affair.
An intense emotional attachment, as for a pet or treasured object.
A person who is the object of deep or intense affection or attraction; beloved. Often used as a term of endearment.
An expression of one's affection: Send him my love.

A strong predilection or enthusiasm: a love of language.
The object of such an enthusiasm: The outdoors is her greatest love.
Love Mythology. Eros or Cupid.
often Love Christianity. Charity.
Sports. A zero score in tennis.
Honestly? None of that explains love, it describe the results of feeling love toward someone, but it does not tell the seeker exactly what love is. So I began to wonder, if you can't define love, how can you truly express love? Everything these definitions lay out is the result of being in love. No wonder this world is in the shape it's in!

So being a man who seeks to understand, I set out to define love so everyone can understand it. Once something is understood, it can be easily explained and a course of action can be taken to achieve it. To explain love should be a boon to humanity! This, I thought, is a service to my fellow man, and a very worthy endeavor. So here it is in the simplest of terms........

Love= to give!

God Bless!
