Love Love Love

The word "love" is every where, every day. You hear in almost every song played on the radio, in every film, in book, but not so in every mouth. I just wonder why it is still confusing to me to understand what love is when it's probably the most prominent existence in our every day lives.

I think Wikipedia seems to have an interesting way of generalizing how it is being used. As it says "As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love. Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts."

My concept of how to measure love use to be based on how much you are willing to care for and sacrifice for another without necessarily feeling like it's a sacrifice. But I may be wrong in that, this may only measure selflessness and not necessarily love.

Regardless, I think as human beings, we are always running towards love as much as we can, even if we do not know it. That is why we live, isn't it?
