Chabz's POV

Love... what is love?

Is there an exact definition of love? I don’t think so… but what does it really mean? Does the love hurt? Or does the love only have good and happy thoughts? Haixt.. Maybe they are right; you cannot define love until you experience it.  You cannot tell everybody that love is like this and like that because you yourself can define your own love means. Maybe love is a great, exciting and unforgettable journey in life. Sabi nga nila “hindi Masaya ang buhay kung walang love dahil sa love mo mararanasan ang lahat ng hindi mo pa nararanasan. Maranasan ang masaktan at maging masaya sa mga simpleng bagay, gawin ang mga bagay na hindi mo naman talaga ginagawa, kainin ang mga bagay na hindi mo nakasanayang kainin. Ung mga ganun? Magagawa mo ang lahat ng bagay ng hindi mo inaakala na magagawa mo “

Poets and authors have tried to define love for centuries, whereas scientists have only recently started. Many of us know intuitively that love is a major purpose for living; that connection is inherent in all that we do, and without love, we cannot survive as a species.

But what is love, and how do we know when we're in it? First, let's start off with what love isn't.

It Definitely Isn't... Manipulation. "If you loved me, then you would..." isn't love, but rather infatuation. Compromising who you are. If someone asks you to do or say something that isn't in your nature, that isn't true love. Although love does involve compromises between partners, someone who is in love with you will never ask you to change who you are in order to be loved. Violent. Passions can definitely become inflamed with someone you love, but a relationship with physical or emotional violence isn't true love. Just lust. Yes, chemistry and physical attraction are important, but true love also includes commitment, trust and respect.

So then, what exactly is love?

True Love Is... Caring: The ancient Greeks had many different names for different forms of love: passion, virtuous, affection for the family, desire, and general affection. But no matter how love is defined, they all hold a common trait: caring. Attractive: Attraction and chemistry form the bond that allows people to mate. Without this romantic desire for another individual, a relationship is nothing more than lust or infatuation. Attached: Like the mother-child bond, attachment comes after the initial attraction. Attachment is the long term love that appears anywhere from one to three years into a romantic relationship (sometimes sooner and very rarely after), and you'll know you've found it when you can honestly say, "I've seen the worst and the best you have to offer, and I still love you," while your partner feels the same way. Committed: When it comes to affairs of the heart, commitment is more than just monogamy. Its the knowledge that your partner cares for you and has your back, no matter what the circumstances. People who are strongly committed to one another will, when faced with seemingly negative information about their partner, see only the positive. For example, a friend comments that your partner doesn't say a lot. "Ah yes, he's the strong, silent type," you reply. People with less commitment to their partner would instead say something like, "Yeah, I can never have a conversation with him. Its annoying." Intimate: Intimacy is a crucial component of all relationships, regardless of their nature. In order to know another, you need to share parts of yourself. This self-revealing behavior, when reciprocated, forms an emotional bond. Over time this bond strengthens and even evolves, so that two people merge closer and closer together. Intimacy by itself if is a great friendship, but compiled with the other things in this list, it forms an equation for true love.
