What is Love?
I was driving home Sunday night and I was thinking; what does it mean to be in love? What is love? How do you know when you are in love? A friend of mine told me, “Love is a choice.” I agree with that to some extent (you wake up every morning choosing to love that person) but isn’t love somewhat of a feeling. Haven’t we all be in love and fallen out of love before? But what is love then….I don’t think anyone can really define love…I wonder how Webster defines love…lets see L… Lo… Love…..ohhh.. here it is…Love 1. Strong affection or liking for someone or something. 2. A passionate affection of one person for another. So that is what Webster says Love is….so if love is affection and affection means the way you treat someone so maybe love is treating someone you have feeling for better than someone you don’t love. So then maybe love is a choice of how you’re going to treat someone. You choose everyday to treat that person with love; an affectionate way. If this is the case; how do you know you are in love? Maybe you realize you’re in love when you start doing things above and beyond for the person you like; things you wouldn’t normally do. But where does the feeling part of love come in, how come is it whenever you see the person you’re in love with your heart just skips a beatJ or how is it whenever the one we love breaks our hearts we feel like we can’t breathe because the pain is so unbearable. I would like to know the “feeling” part of love….how do we feel so strong for someone? How do we fall in love?…..ummmm……

but because it sees more it is willing to see less.
