What Is Love?


“Love” is a very complicated word. People throw the word around all the time but without actually meaning it. It is not some word you can just throw around. I believe love is something special. Now that is saying a lot coming from me because I dislike the word. I do not like the idea of all mushy love junk. I don’t even acknowledge Valentine’s Day. I see it as a meaningless holiday. If someone truly loves their significant other they will show them everyday on there own. There doesn’t have to be a special holiday were someone gets the chance to show there so called “Love” and compassion for someone else. If they truly cared about their girlfriend or boyfriend they would show them love everyday of their life. Now keep in mind this is just my definition and perspective on love. I believe there is no true definition to word. It is how someone else sees the word. It is how someone else takes the importance of the word into there own perspective.
            Now a lot of people believe in “Love at first sight.” Now this may seem like a shallow theory. It is not all in how a person looks that strikes up love. But I do believe that the way someone looks can tell a lot about the person’s personality. I have not experienced this feeling but myself but I do believe it is possible. Two individuals can fall in love at first sight. When they first glance at each other it is as if they have known the person for years already. Other then the theory of love at first sight love can be found anywhere. I do not think it is something you physically go out and look for but something that just happens. It is almost as if it is destiny. Things have to fall into place on their own and almost everyone will find love eventually. There will be a feeling inside of you letting you know that that one person is the special one.
            Other then the love between and husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend there is love within a family or from friends. This is a completely different type of love. This is more of a caring love. Your family will always love you because you are an extension of them. Without you a little piece of them dies. I think this kind of love is the best. The love from a caring family keeps people happy and will always keep people happy. Love from your friends is also a form of love that is caring. Your friends care for you but not in the same way as your family. They treat you as if you were almost family but not quite. Without friends and family I would be a very depressed person.
            I think someone needs love from all three groups; the caring love from your family, compassionate love from your girlfriend or boyfriend, and friendly love. This truly is the meaning of love. Everyone needs a form of love to be happy.
