random thoughts about Love

How do you define love?

Some say it's mysterious, magical, complex, difficult,imaginary, thought-provoking, inspirational, intuitional, joyous, immeasurable, estascy and undefinable. Perhaps.

Someone defines love as follows: "Love is a feeling directed at someone which acknowledges their goodness"

Another defines it as "The willful intent to serve the well being of another"

Yet, the Bible says:
"Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the Truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preseveres" - 1 Corinthians 13:5-7

Love itself is a universal experience. Yet, every individual occurrence - while perhaps bound by a common thread - seems absolutely unique. Love is what love is! To everyone it expresses itself differently.

Love is the answer to "all" questions!

It is important to stand in Love, not fall into it.

Love is waking up to find the object of your affection in the dream you were having asleep on your shoulder.

Could it be that Love is a story that can never be fully expressed?

Love is a bond or connection between two people that results in trust, intimacy, an independence that enhances both partners.

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those you care for to be what they choose for themselves, without any insistence that they satisfy you

Logic says everything in this world has cause and an effect. True love is the only feeling in which is its own cause and its own effect. It is something illogical and yet above all logic. I Love him because I love him and I love him so I love him. That simple.

A kid once told me, Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.

Love must be experienced. Its meaning is infinite and can never be totally defined.

The opposite of love is Fear. Think about it.

There is no fear in Love; but perfect love cast out Fear. God is Love.

True love is the nature of bliss.

Love is expressed when you are being someone who loves someone for who they are, not who you think they should be.

Love is embracing differences and discovering ways in which to build a common lifestyle, share decision-making, and taking equal responsibilities for the results.

Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit; it is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love in order that I may love.

If you want Love, you must first Love. Love begets Love. You cannot deliver from an empty wagon. You must first learn to Love yourself before you can give Love.

Perhaps... Love just Is. While in its allness and in its nothingness, all we need to do is simply let it Be.

Individual answers are there for love and for this very reason there are arguments about love for each mind will contradict the answer of another mind. This contradiction is normal for each mind lives in a different point in time. Hence, "what is love?" is an illusionary question, which has no answer!

But above all, my favorite, Love is loving someone without expecting anything in return; no judgments; no restrictions; no limitations; no expectation!~ even when it means to give it away to someone else.
