Love is a profound feeling of tender affection for or intense
attraction to another. People in love are often considered to have
"good" interpersonal chemistry.[1] Love is described as a deep,
ineffable feeling shared in passionate or intimate interpersonal
relationships. In different contexts, however, the word love has a
variety of related but distinct meanings: in addition to romantic love,
which is characterized by a mix of emotional and sexual desire, other
forms include platonic love, religious love, familial love, and the
more casual application of the term to anyone or anything that one
considers strongly pleasurable, enjoyable, or desirable, including
activities and foods. This diverse range of meanings in a single word
is commonly contrasted with the plurality of Greek words for Love,
reflecting the word's versatility and complexity.


Overview
--------

Although clearly and consistently defining love is a difficult task,
and often a subject of much debate, different aspects of the word can
be clarified by determining what isn't "love." As a general expression
of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly
contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more
"pure" form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with
lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones,
love is commonly contrasted with friendship, though other definitions
of the word love may be applied to close friendships in certain
contexts.

The traditional Chinese character for love (愛) consists of a heart (middle) inside of "accept," "feel" or "perceive," which shows a graceful emotion.Enlarge
The traditional Chinese character for love (愛) consists of a heart
(middle) inside of "accept," "feel" or "perceive," which shows a
graceful emotion.

In ordinary use, love usually refers to interpersonal love, an
experience felt by a person for another person. Love often involves
caring for or identifying with a person or thing, including oneself
(cf. narcissism).

The concept of love, however, is subject to debate. Some deny the
existence of love. Others call it a recently-invented abstraction,
sometimes dating the "invention" to courtly Europe during or after the
middle ages—though this is contradicted by the sizable body of
ancient love poetry. Others maintain that love really exists, and is
not an abstraction, but is undefinable, being a quantity which is
spiritual or metaphysical in nature. Some psychologists maintain that
love is the action of lending one's "boundary" or "self-esteem" to
another. Others attempt to define love by applying the definition to
everyday life.

Cultural differences make any universal definition of love difficult
to establish. Expressions of love may include the love for a soul or
mind, the love of laws and organizations, love for a body, love for
nature, love of food, love of money, love for learning, love of power,
love of fame, love for the respect of others, etc. Different people
place varying degrees of importance on the kinds of love they receive.
Love is essentially an abstract concept, easier to experience than to
explain. Because of the complex and abstract nature of love, discourse
on love is commonly reduced to a thought-terminating cliché, and
there are a number of common proverbs regarding love, from Virgil's
"Love conquers all" to The Beatles' "All you need is love." Bertrand
Russell describes love as a condition of "absolute value," as opposed
to relative value.

Though love is considered a positive and desirable aspect of
existence, love can cause a great deal of emotional harm. Consider
Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Great Expectations, and other classical and
popular works that enumerate how love can lead to tragedy and
emotional pain. In human interactions, love becomes a peril when love
is not bilateral, known as Unrequited love. A further peril for
individuals that love, or can love others, is that love is not
enduring and that many people have psychological defense mechanisms
inhibit their ability to accept or reciprocate love.


Human bonding
-------------

Main article: Human bonding

People, throughout history, have often considered phenomena such as
“love at first sight” or “instant friendships” to be the
result of an uncontrollable force of attraction or affinity. One of
the first to theorize in this direction was the Greek philosopher
Empedocles who in the fourth century BC argued for existence of two
forces: love (philia) and strife (neikos), which were used to account
for the causes of motion in the universe. These two forces were said
to intermingle with the four elements, i.e. earth, water, air, and
fire, in such a manner that love, so to say, served as the binding
power linking the various parts of existence harmoniously together.

Later, Plato interpreted Empedocles’ two agents as attraction and
repulsion, stating that their operation is conceived in an alternate
sequence.[2] From these arguments, Plato originated the concept of
“likes attract”, e.g. earth is thus attracted towards earth, water
toward water, and fire toward fire. In modern terms this is often
phrased in terms of “birds of a feather flock together”. Later,
following developments in electrical theories, such as Coulomb's law,
which showed that positive and negative charges attract, analogs in
human life were developed such as "opposites attract." Over the last
century, researcher on the nature of human mating, such as in
evolutionary psychology, agree that pairs unite or attract to each
other owing to a combination of opposites attract, e.g. people with
dissimilar immune systems tend to attract, and likes attract, such
similarities of personality, character, views, etc.[3] In recent
years, various human bonding theories have been developed described in
terms of attachments, ties, bonds, and or affinities.


Religious views
---------------

Main article: Love (religious views)

Love in early religions was a mixture of ecstatic devotion and
ritualised obligation to idealised natural forces (pagan polytheism).
Later religions shifted emphasis towards single abstractly-oriented
objects like God, law, church and state (formalised monotheism).

A third view, pantheism, recognises a state or truth distinct from
(and often antagonistic to) the idea that there is a difference
between the worshipping subject and the worshipped object. Love is
reality, of which we, moving through time, imperfectly interpret
ourselves as an isolated part.

The Bible speaks of love as a set of attitudes and actions that are
far broader than the concept of love as an emotional attachment. Love
is seen as a set of behaviours that humankind is encouraged to act
out. One is encouraged not just to love one's partner, or even one's
friends but also to love one's enemies.

The Bible describes this type of active love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not
boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it
is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not
delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Romantic love is also present in the Bible, particularly the Song of
Songs (also known as Song of Solomon, Canticles.) Traditionally, this
book has been interpreted allegorically as a picture of God's love for
Israel and/or the Church. When taken naturally, we see a picture of
ideal human marriage.

"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death, its jealously unyielding as the
grave. It burns like a blazing fire, like a mighty flame. [like
the very flame of the LORD?] Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth
of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned." [8:6-7,
NIV]

The passage dodi li v'ani lo ("my beloved is mine and I am my
beloved," Song of Songs 2:16) is often engraved on wedding bands. [citation needed]


Cultural views
--------------

Main article: Love (cultural views)

Although there exist numerous cross-cultural unified similarities as
to the nature and definition of love, as in there being a thread of
commitment, tenderness, and passion common to all human existence,
there are differences. For example, in India, with arranged marriages
commonplace, it is believed that love is not a necessary ingredient in
the initial stages of marriage – it is something that can be created
during the marriage; whereas in Western culture, by comparison, love
is seen as a necessary prerequisite to marriage.


Scientific views
----------------

Main article: Love (scientific views)

Throughout history, predominantly, philosophy and religion have
speculated the most into the phenomenon of love. In the last century,
the science of psychology has written a great deal on the subject.
Recently, however, the sciences of evolutionary psychology,
evolutionary biology, anthropology, neuroscience, and biology have
begun to take centre stage in discussion as to the nature and function
of love.

Biological models of sex tend to see it as a mammalian drive, just
like hunger or thirst. Psychology sees love as more of a social and
cultural phenomenon. Psychologist Robert Sternberg created his
Triangular theory of love and argued that love has three different
components: Intimacy, Commitment, and Passion. Intimacy is a form
where two people can share secrets and various details of their
personal lives. Intimacy is usually shown in friendships and romantic
love affairs. Commitment on the other hand is the expectation that the
relationship is going to last forever. The last and most common form
of love is simply sex, or passion. Passionate love is shown in
infatuation as well as romantic love. This led researchers such as
Yela to further refine the model by separating Passion into two
independents components: Erotic Passion and Romantic Passion.


Chemical basis

Main article: Interpersonal chemistry

Recent studies in neuroscience have indicated that a consistent number
of chemicals are present in the brain when people testify to feeling
love. These chemicals include; Testosterone, Oestrogen, Dopamine,
Norepinephrine, Serotonin, Oxytocin, and Vasopressin. More
specifically, higher levels of Testosterone and Oestrogen are present
during the lustful phase of a relationship. Dopamine, Norepinephrine,
and Seretonin are more commonly found during the attraction phase of a
relationship. Oxytocin, and Vasopressin seemed to be more closely
linked to long term bonding and relationships characterized by strong
attachments.

In December 2005, Italian scientists at Pavia University found that a
molecule known as the Nerve Growth Factor has high levels when people
first fall in love, but these levels return to as they were after one
year.

"NGF level was significantly higher (p<0.001) in the subjects in love
[mean (SEM): 227 (14) pg/ml] than in either the subjects with a
long-lasting relationship [123 (10) pg/ml] or the subjects with no
relationship [149 (12) pg/ml]. Notably, there was also a significant
positive correlation between levels of NGF and the intensity of
romantic love as assessed with the passionate love scale (r=0.34;
p=0.007). No differences in the concentrations of other NTs were
detected. In 39 subjects in love who—after 12–24
months—maintained the same relationship but were no longer in the
same mental state to which they had referred during the initial
evaluation, plasma NGF levels decreased and became indistinguishable
from those of the control groups."[1]


Definitional issues
-------------------

Dictionaries tend to define love as deep affection or fondness.[4] In
colloquial use, according to polled opinion, the most favoured
definitions of love include the words:[5]

1. life - someone to whom one would give their life.

2. care - refers to a mental or emotional state of predisposition in
which one has an interest or concern for someone or something. To
care for someone, may also refer to a disquieted state of mixed
uncertainty, apprehension, and responsibility; or a cause for such
anxiety.

3. friendship - favoured interpersonal associations or
relationships.

4. union - dissolution of loving subject into loved object; a
hyper-real state of creative generosity.

5. family - people related via common ancestry.

6. bond - the inner connection when another person is a part of your
identity.

Thomas Jay Oord defines love as acting intentionally, in sympathetic
response to others (including God), to promote overall well-being.
Oord means for his definition to be adequate for religion, philosophy,
and the sciences.
