What the world needs now is love! Love begets love is a famous saying and I truly believe in this! From the word 'beget' which means 'to cause'... so, love causes love; give and you shall recieve. It doesn't always comes from the ones we love, it may come from others whom we don't expect to love us.
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.
We find so many definitions of love and actually we can also have our own definition out of our experiences. We can best define love if we have experienced love. Let's look into some definitions of love...
“Some say it's mysterious, magical, complex, difficult, imaginary, thought-provoking, inspirational, intuitional, joyous, immeasurable, ecstasy, and undefinable. Perhaps.”
"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 perseveres.” - 1 Corinthians 13:5-7
"To describe love is very difficult, for the same reason that words cannot fully describe the flavor of an orange. You have to taste the fruit to know its flavor, so with love."
“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.” - Leo Buscaglia
“Love must be experienced. Its meaning is infinite and can never be totally defined.”
“Love is embracing differences and discovering ways in which to build a common lifestyle, share decision-making, and taking equal responsibility for the results.”
What is Love?
by Dr. Vijai S. Shankar
One must understand whether "what is love" can be a question which can be answered? Love cannot be a question. For, if it is a question then an answer should be there. If the answer is there, where is it? This question is ancient and an answer should have been found by now! If the answer has been found, the question would have disappeared.
But the question still remains, meaning the answer has not been found. If it has not been found as yet, then what is the certainty that it will be found? Maybe the mind can never find the answer! A single answer, which will please all minds, is not possible for each mind has its own ideas of love. Hence a universal answer is an illusion.
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!

Love is a word that is so commonly used in our daily life.
During the wedding ceremony, we can hear this- Do you love him? Do you love her? Both party will say:" I do " This is love betwwen hushand and wife.
There are so many kind of love, father and son, mother and son. Friend's love.
The big love is really wonderful that we love all human beings, love all living things, love even enemies.
Hopefully, we can increase our love " volume " to all.
The true and unconditional love is the ideal one that is the best.
Have a peaceful mind, best wishes from coolingstar9.
