Humans have an undying quest for perfection. All of us have a desire, a want to have something.

In line
with these, we could consider love itself is under the realms of desire. Love is a desire to be satisfied by
the quality of a thing. Satisfaction is gained when the host gets something positive from that quality,
which are characteristics, maybe physical, mental or emotional attribute, that the object of aspiration
possesses.

Love is a desire. Why do we show an outmost concern for a thing? It is because we want them. We want
their presence to be focused on us. We want them to consider us masters, the beneficiary of the being. "If
x loves y then x wants to benefit and be with y and he has these wants because he believes y has some
determinate characteristics in virtue of which he thinks it worthwhile to benefit and be with y." A lover has
the wants to get the benefit. An example is sexual orientation in love. We get the sexual pull, the ego,
because we see something we want to possess for ourselves. Likewise, the care by which we show counts
as an example too. We want the complete prize that is why we would not allow the destruction of such
beauty.

As we see, Love is a selfish dispute. It thinks more of self than of others. Even the idea of giving off your
life for something you love, may appear the opposite. Rather than becoming selfless, the line is used to
catch the beloved’s attention. The reason of giving off life is because the lover cares to have the better,
which is the beloved, for his own ideal. I may say then that love is a creation of an "I" than a "we". Love is
the search for good. A good which is seen only on the eyes of the lover, for only they would know what is
essential for them. Everyone is incomplete and we love because we want to fill in our lack-ness may also
support the idea of self-satisfaction. Even though the idea, the union of two, there should still be that
sense of selfishness. It may appear that finding a union is for harmony but if we are place in one of
whichever couple's mind, it will appear that their pursuit for loving is to complete their selves.

I also would want to emphasize that love is determined by the lover. What is beautiful may not be the
same picture if compared from different individuals. Love is search for completeness. As you can see if
person A is to find a beloved, person B, he would find something that must be better than his own
characteristics. On the other hand, person B would find something from person A. In such a scenario,
person B could have not taken the beauty that person A pictures because that would be her own quality.
Then it would mean that she is already complete in such a sense. Union is not made and there must have
been no chance of pairing if there was only one idea of lovable quality. There for, I suggest that love's
satisfaction is seen in any way that may appear most helpful for the lover.

Love is a very broad topic to discuss. They are of many types and many kinds. It would appear hard to
define it for how I may see it might be different as to how other people percept it. But as far as I have
made, the human truths itself pin points love guilty for being selfish. I have seen how it has valued the
lover alone. It does not really matter what happens to the other party. I presume that even the care for
something is for a long term effect which will be for the lover's sake rather than the one loved. I therefore
conclude that love is the desire for a satisfaction from the quality of a thing.
