Love. It’s a word which was supposedly divine a few centuries ago. Today it’s more commercial than ever. I have often wondered, what is this ‘love’? What does one mean when one says that he/she loves you? I had a conversation on this recently with a friend and this is what we came up with.
Is physical attraction a factor for love? Would you say that you love a person just because he or she looks good? I don’t think so, physical attraction is just physical attraction. All male and female hormones are such that you are naturally attracted to the opposite gender. This in no way can be classified as true love. So that done away with, consider a person whom u supposedly love. That person meets with an accident. Now naturally you feel for that person. Now is that love? No way! It’s defined as sympathy, because if a dog on the street met with an accident any person with a heart in his soul would feel for the dog and help it. I’m sure that you would agree with me that just because you feel for a dog doesn’t mean that you love it and that you would devote the rest of your life for that dog. If there is anyone who would argue with me on this, I have nothing to say to you.
Love is just something commercial. People say that they are in love just because relationships are the trend right now. Having a boyfriend/girlfriend is quite equivalent to having a fashionable personal accessory. Some how love today isn’t just what love is supposed to be. Somehow as you think about it, love itself seems to be just a figment of one’s imagination; some self created relation just for namesake to cover up some ulterior motive of man. It seems to be something designed to make up for man’s selfish deeds. I wonder what exactly one desires to obtain when he/she says that they love someone. Does LOVE really exist???

Extremely true that love has become commercial today.Very sad that such a beautiful emotion has been twisted by people according to their needs.Anyway, great article!!!
Funny that I am gonna tell u this: Love is like a religion. There are many forms and rituals for expressing it. There are also atheists.
Good so you thought about it and well nothing you said is wrong and neither does it mean that you dear are an atheist...ok now first you do not chase love like just about any other feeling...you either feel it or not its that simple...do you love your mom? Yes but you will say but it’s my mom well this is just a little different in this kind of love you bond, physically, emotionally and mentally. And by this i do not mean you have everything similar to each other, no matter how opposite you happen to be...you still feel that connection. Love is something that comforts, that accepts you with all your flaws, that values you, and love is something where when you see that person you feel like your finally HOME! Complicated? Yet… simple? Well just one last thing don't psycho-analyze it too much, love is a commodity now used as a means for some end either fashion or to avoid loneliness or for time pass...love is not at fault here its the people who use this term to describe something entirely different who are at fault...do not let that make you cynical...it might just about happen to you one day and then you will understand, as much as no comment of mine ever could have!
