E: WHAT IS LOVE?
Love is hard to explain because it is so versatile. Love is a deep, tender, ineffable feeling of
affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of
attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness. To many people it has a different
meaning. Each of its meanings has some sort of special effect on a person's own emotions.
Both physically and mentally it can impact a person.
A lot of younger people seem to fall in love "at first sight." A chemical attraction occurs
that draws them to that significant other; something about their appearance- their eyes, hair,
amazing smile-gets their heart thumping. True-life, long-lasting love isn't created through small
moments. A lasting relationship is built on knowing the other person and accepting their flaws
along with more obvious good parts. Instant connections can lead to love if the time is taken to
get to know the other person.
If a connection is established, then the spark has the potential to stay throughout their
lives. Couples in true love stay in love. Even when they are elderly and aren't vivacious and
youthful as when they first fell in love, they can still love each other as much. They just don't
have the lust for each other they once had.
Everyone, once in his or her life, will fall in love. Someone will make another's dreams
come true. They will have that ever-lasting feeling of not only friendship but of trust, hope and
an accredited future. Just for this little thing that means so much called love.
