Love is the stick. You do it with them and love serves to motivate you to do it with them more, and that they are a "friendly" rather than what hate indicates... which is that they are "not friendly" (and could threaten survival as you perceive it). Thus love and hate are tools for survival. One helps you remember your partners, one helps you remember your enemies.

Love is wanting good things for someone else. Couple that with sex (no pun intended) and you get romantic love, couple it with lifelong rearing and you get family love. Maybe I'm over-simplifying it, but it seems to always work out that way. I think we over-complicate it. Love is wanting good things for someone else.

Love is... basically, whatever you want it to be, but it has to be intense and something you find very hard to be without. Yeah... that sounds vague enough to be acceptable. andrew smallwrote:

One is romantic love that comes unannounced and that is why it's so beautiful. So enjoy it for the time it's there and don't take it as a security for ever because it's just like life itself, it will disappear. Another kind of love is a mother's love for her child, for a friend, country, things, knowledge, food, etc. Now this love grows with time and so it is more stable whereas the romantic one is transitory. Also, I believe that all the love in our life is a BIG constant. So, in romantic love where a new couple love each other to distraction, it wanes a bit or more when there's a baby on the scene because the love is now divided for the spouse and for the child. This is why, we should learn to accept that love will never remain the same because we need change, "change is the law of nature" and so we start to love other things or people too, so our first love diminishes as it must remain a CONSTANT. Whatever... Do I talk too much? Those Gods above they stole my eraser and got hold of my pen so I'm kinda helpless Whatever... I’d say there are distinctly two different kinds of love.

The most Important thing in everyones world is life, so love is when you like someone more than life. But love is not liking someone more than the most important thing in the world which is life. We just want love so we can enjoy life more! So love is not when you like someone more than your life, that is just infatuation. Rationally, what you say could not be true because the reason you love is, to be happy, and if that means that you might have to lose life in which you want to be happy, then, how can this love be greater than life itself? erin wrote:

I know just what you mean. Personally tho, my research in biology lends a closer molecular approximation of love to methylenedioxymethamphetamine. (that's just a really fun word isn't it?). The only thing that bothers me is I can't figure out which one is the God molecule. I've been trying to fit in Higgs Boson in there somewhere too. I've got a theory using Higgs Boson that might be able to tell us which molecule makes you wonder about free-will. parapa the rapa-nui-
