Can love be defined?
Love has
many meanings. It can mean an intense
feeling of affection, an emotion or
emotional state.
|
|
|
| |
Love is your behavior towards others.
"The name that can
be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable
is the eternally real," said
Lao Tzu.
If you focus on
the name, you lose the substance.
So, can Love be
defined?
No, if we live it.
And yes, for all
other purposes. |

Jesus
on
the Attributes of Love
"Love is patient; love is kind; love is not
envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but
rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all
things, endures all things."
Interpersonal Love
In ordinary use, love usually refers to
interpersonal love.
Interpersonal love is love
between human beings, and is more sympathetic than the
notion of very much liking for another. Although
feelings are usually reciprocal, there can also be
unrequited love.
Interpersonal love is usually found in an
interpersonal
relationship, such as between couples,
family members,
friends, members of a
passionate team, and
loving customer relationship.
However, people often express love for other
people outside of these relationships through
empathy,
compassionate
outreach and volunteering...

Impersonal
love
A person can be
said to love a home, country, a
principle, goal, job, or hobby if they value
it greatly and are deeply committed to it.
People can also 'love' material objects,
animals, or activities if they invest
themselves in bonding their identity with
that item.
The Power of Passion
Successful people win because they love what
they do. All of them have a very strong desire to succeed. They have
passion
for their field, their business.
Passion is the
single fastest way to spur yourself to
massive success. It is something you love.
Something you're excited about.
Something you get up early to work on
or to stay up late...

Most religions use love to
express the devotion the follower has to their deity who may
be a living guru or religious teacher. This love can be
expressed by putting the love of God above personal needs,
prayer, service, good deeds, and personal sacrifice, all
done selflessly. Reciprocally, the followers may believe
that the deity loves the followers and all of creation. Some
traditions encourage the development of passionate love in
the believer for the deity...
