So, what is love?
A simple question, it is. What does the encylopedia say? "The word love has many different meanings. It can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love." Karen Sunde has said that to love is to receive a glimpse of heaven. And yet, Woody Allen has compared love with suffering. It is believed that love has much to do with finding or achieving happiness, joy and positive state of feelings, dating and finding your soulmate, following your destiny. Love has been the most common theme in art for centuries. From ancient Greek philosophers until the current post-modern era, people have always asked this one question: "What is love?" or "What's the meaning of love?" Nowadays love is often talked about from a relationships standpoint, but perhaps love is something that can not be described with words at all. Perhaps it's an essence of life that makes all life possible.
“For an instant, love can transform the world.”
