So you say "I love you" to your parents, siblings, grandparents, and your significant other. The question is what do you think love is?

Love is always wanting the best for someone even when it doesn't benefit you and caring for someone's wellbeing even when you don't like them very much/are mad at them.

This is all true

This explains it all. [link]

It is not the answer, but the question that has meaning.

Lust and hormones playing in your brian are often mistaken with real love :nod:

But they are the devil in disguise :evillaugh:

Love is something people confuse with sexual attraction.

Love is the feeling of affection to another person.
Love to me is an 'impetus'. It is a force that moves us from within.

I could answer this thread with a simple universal or personal definition of what this all means. Or I could just be cynical and say who gives dick waffle, but in essence it's like everything else. When can take it on the theoretical or the metaphorical; the figurative or the literal. Maybe the word is just passed around too much for many to care, because we use it so often we forget what it means. We say to register a feeling with someone but the feeling itself doesn't register, and becomes void. Even me trying to explain this loses meaning over time. Where is my point? The point of just feeling it again. We need to get to that point of being alive before we can use the term. That is what I think it means, but I've been wrong before...and that's ok too...that's part of knowing love.

I say "I love you" to a person when I feel emotionally connected to them and particularly fond of them at that moment. So it has to do with how much I like you, obviously.

But dares to answer it.

Love used to mean a lot and its used carefully, it contains feelings of the person who said so. Now its just say and don't mean anything, the word love pretty much doesn't mean anything to us anymore. Its just words we constantly hear and for some of us, don't feel anything. especially when you have to force those words out of your mouth and cringe,hearing your voice say so.
Fortis-Voluit's avatar
I like this answer Nd sadly yes it overused these days and it doesn't mean anything to some...one day someone will say they love and the next move on without you...so sad that this is our society
SEVMD's avatar
Well, if you want it in a judgmental way...
It mainly depends on who you are saying those words to. For kids around my age, they will go about said 'I love you' to their parents without any meaning or feelings. They will really mean it if something happens to their parents and they realized how they feel. However most of the time they just say it so that they don't see their parents getting upset... really... My parents would ask us why we don't say 'I love you' anymore, then I say it and after that they are happy. I do love them but I think those words shouldn't be forced out of people.

Ah... who am I kidding. Its not easy to use that phrase and get people to understand what you mean.
SEVMD's avatar
Because we lose meaning in our words, more or less it makes it hard for us to describe our feelings. We have lost... what we call our voice. Like, some can't explain their frustration without punching a few things, or searching for someone who can share their pain without bursting into tears :shrug: my opinions once again

Me and my alcohol take offensive to that, don't trivialize our love dude.
SEVMD's avatar
well I said some people I didn't mean everyone O_O

You will not be getting an invite to me and booze's wedding.
SEVMD's avatar
aw well I don't think I am tolerant with alcohol because I know my family have been feeding me alcohol once in a while... Have you tried a 20 year old liquor 40% alcohol? I went to sleep right after drinking a bit of it....
siantjudas's avatar
Yeah my mom does that shit, one sip and after rambling for 20 mins shes out cold for the night. It's embarrassing. Thankfully I didn't inherit that part. :D
SEVMD's avatar
wow good for you
my father is a happy drunk and I suspect that my mother is those aggressive ones :fear:

Love is what I feel about booze. No matter what you can't tear us apart.
