Define Love.
<3
Umm... Say what!?
It seems a little unusual and strange to come up with such a
definition to share with those of the world that may come across this.
I would like to express myself as accurately as possible but must use the
ideas of others to assist me in this venture.
Doing some consulting with dictionaries, I have come to a conclusion of sorts.
Love is multi-faceted.
There is not one meaning in existence (to my knowledge) that could
accurately define love in every situation. I think it is nearly impossible to say
to someone that you love them and have them understand
exactly what you intend.
<3 Def. 2 of Webster says Love: warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion.
I have found that using this definition is inaccurate to suggest in most cases
without a great deal of explanation because really, who could be much more
accurate in wording than a dictionary!?
<3 Def. 3 says Love: (a) The object of attachment, devotion, or admiration
(b) a beloved person
I think the first is quite self explanatory, but the second... what is beloved?
I found it could be defined as to be dearly loved. Someone who is precious.
<3 Def. 4 states that Love is unselfish loyal and benevolent
concern for the good of another.
I think that this is an incredibly apt description of Christs' love.
Again, (because I have at least thought it before) I
must state that this is slightly awkward to bring up my religious beliefs.
The problem is that I cannot think of anything else of my experience to
share how I feel about this definition. Because of my experiences throughout
my life, this definition is important to me. The difficult thing is
to explain why, of which I cannot yet do.
Anywho...
The definition of sorts that you may have all been expecting!
<3 Def. 1 Love: (a) strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal
ties (b) affection and tenderness felt by lovers (c) affection based
on admiration, benevolence, or common interests
Somehow all of these work! Crazy thing though... there are more that would work.
And on that thought I hope to complete this post... its so long already.
