What Is Love?

Falling and seeking pleasure from word Love is something that every person dreams of, right? Today’s youth gets inspired from the romantic movies, novels, and videos, which portray Love like a fairy tale in which instead of all ups and downs, everything ends on a happy note. Is Love similar in real life? Most of us are not on the same platform in giving this answer.

If you are in a Bollywood kind of love, the characteristic of love for you will be then an exhilarating feeling experienced when two people gaze into each other’s eyes.

But Is That LOVE?

Love is an enacted emotion and most dominating feeling a person can experience in his life. Most of us stick to the notion that Love is a holy and sacred feeling. But the weirdest thing is that NOBODY knows what Love is.
The term love is often used by a person to express different frames of mind. It can be a feeling of affection, infatuation, attraction or just a time being desire. Until and unless you don’t fall in Love, you can’t find the real meaning of Love.

Most commonly it is used to express fondness (I love you) towards somebody else with whom you feel close and connected. That somebody else completes you. We can define it more deeply by understanding various notions attach to it. The term love expresses human emotions related to care, adoration, affection, and compassion. It is a state of life which makes your inner sense happier for that moment and cares the least about outside world. Love is the purest form of attachment.

So Then What Is Real Love?

From childhood to adulthood, we are hemmed with Love. A lot of questions trigger the human mind when it comes to love, yet it is difficult to describe it. Is Love a real emotion or just an illusion? Is it a true feeling, or a mere fallacy? Is it meant to last forever or has a time limit? Well, I’d rather say we don’t ever let the term LOVE describe our whole life.

The meaning of Love is always a matter of debate and dispute amongst thinkers, writers, and researchers since the very beginning. The reason being it is one of the most complicated emotions to elucidate.
The love songs in your playlist may perhaps trigger your emotions and make you feel amazing, but the genuine beauty of Love exists, when it transforms lives. The urge for Love is powerful and strong, and can have a long lasting impression on your entire being.

Love since its inception is defined as a blend of pleasure and desire. But it is important for us to know that Love is a series of actions that bring us nearer to the persons we value.
Love is one of the most influential and strong feelings one can ever experience. It can trigger all superhuman powers in you. Perhaps, it is that strong emotion that drives moms to cross all barriers and goes beyond anything to save their kids. It’s an emotion that makes youngsters rebel with the entire world, to be together.

My Definition For Love

When you are in Love, you forget yourself and start concentrating on your persons happiness. When two hearts feel inclined towards each other; it is defined as true Love. Being in Love is to devote and to get attached to another individual passionately. It is being thoughtful about their happiness and worries as if they are your own. Desire, affection, attraction, physical intimacy and the feeling of being in Love is a part of the love cycle to get two people connected. It helps in knowing each other better and deeper.
When you love someone, their destiny becomes your own. You may feel the sadness when they are depressed, get annoyed when they are upset, and rejoice with their accomplishments. I have tried to sum up Love in these five beliefs.

#1: Love is desire.

Yes, Love begins with desire; with every wink of an eye, you have an unspeakable sensation in the depth of your stomach, which makes you to be with that someone special. That special becomes an essential part of your life. However, if your desirability is only physical; then it is LUST, not Love.
When its true Love, you sincerely adore the other persons company. You want all your mornings and nights with him/her. You miss their company when they are not around. You may act madly and start changing yourself in many ways; you start sharing ethics, beliefs, and principles about the world that make your companion feel good.
You take pride in each other’s Endeavours. Love makes you feel secure and safe. You develop trust, and it gives the power to go through hard times, and you start feeling assured and endowed rather than weak, and scared.

2: Love is a choice to act lovingly.

No matter how good and like-minded you are, everybody will have moments of sorrows and troubles in their life. Financial instability, work issues, parenting concerns, and a lot of other difficulties will test your Love over and over again. However, these testing times will give you a choice whether to act affectionately or lose your calm. Being with your lover in their hard times boosts your faith and bonding. Taking care of each others needs becomes the primary concern and working together to achieve mutual objectives marks the characteristics of true Love, particularly when the going gets tough.

#3: Love is an attachment.

Attachment is a feeling you have for someone which is originates from a blend of attraction, pleasure, and excitement. In Love you start making new promises, try to mingle with your lover with a little awkwardness. After sailing through the initial phases, you generate a sense of comfort with each other; this is the time attachment stage begins. It leads to the foundation of the relationship that can last for a lifetime.
You should check the state of attachment if it’s just an infatuation than it is not true Love. You can get this sense if your relation with each other is not at ease. Attachment is the state when you understand each other’s lifestyles and behaviors and try to find a way to live peacefully with the things that make you feel uncomfortable as well.

#4: Love vs lust.

In the primary phase, it is tough to differentiate between Love and lust. Both are linked with physical attraction and a blend of feel-good hormones, but Love is an irresistible feeling to remain closer to one another.
The Love between two people grows and nurtures over time. It helps you in increasing mutual understanding and sail through life’s ups and downs together. Love asks for time, commitment, mutual faith, trust, and acceptance. This kind of Love lasts forever.
On the contrary, lust is a sex-driven feeling and attraction towards the physical beauty of your love mate. Love full of lust does not prevail for a long time.

#5: Love is not an obligation.

Love is similar to a fairy tale with a destined happy ending. But, not all love stories last forever. At times, Love disappears naturally or maybe your partner parts due to loss of his/her interest in Love. At times, circumstances and life make you part away from each other. And sometimes it can be cheating instincts of your partner which leaves one heartbroken. It can also happen when both of you lose the spark to stay buzzing all the time. After all, Love is not an obligation.

In a nutshell, what Love is?

When we are in Love or are loved, everything feels more beautiful. It’s not an ordinary feeling or emotion neither a minute sensation; it’s tangible and proven. Love is a feeling which gives you a purpose to feel joyous, overwhelmed and complete. Whether your loved one is with you or not, you should have the purpose to live and dream to complete that you once planned together. There may be several reasons which may part your ways. Still, Love exists, and it is the purest feeling in the world that anyone can experience in his/her life.
