I find it fitting to post this topic now, as it is clost to valentine's day.

Love: A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.

-blam!- passion.
-blam!- intercourse.
A love affair.
An intense emotional attachment, as for a pet or treasured object.
A person who is the object of deep or intense affection or attraction; beloved. Often used as a term of endearment.
An expression of one's affection: Send him my love.

I can find only two words to describe this: Selfish and foolish. Selfish because with love, espically passion all you want is a reward. Foolish beacause it blinds you to reason and makes you scorn wisdom. It is te beginning of all peoples self destruction. Of, in a sense, a suicide. Perhaps not physically, but, instead, emotionally. "Killing yourself" for some "greater good" striving to please one person, when by doing so you may loose the world. So this valentines day beware.

The definitions of love vary widely, and the viewpoints that can be made on it can vary accordingly.

I consider love to be valuing another peron's wants and needs above your own. That's how people love family members. It is not a feeling, since that is basically lust and natural body reactions. Based on my definition, it seems like it is selfless and requires a wise person. Of course, this is based on different definitions of this curious thing called love...

You sound like a pessimistic Buddhist.

Buddhists belive that in life there is suffering and that the only way to rid one of this suffering is to crush the root that causes it: selfishness. Every human act is an act driven by selfishness.

Think about it, your brother dies and you are very upset. Why??? A buddhist would say because YOU won't ever be able to talk to him again.

You are drafted and go to war...
Some would say that this is courage. Buddhists would say that YOU are ashamed NOT to go to war and don't want to feel this way. You selfishly wish to feel better about yourself.

Nirvana is achieved when one has no selfish desire whatsoever. Many Buddhists meditate in an attempt to reach Nirvana.

Love is like a rhino, short sighted and hasty, if it can't find a way, it'll make a way.
