What is love?
Today I want to go deep down to love and try to find out what love actually is. People basically call love, compassion, sacrifice, trust, care, protectiveness, attraction, and affection. And some psychologists divide love into three categories: intimacy, passion, and commitment. So, is it actually love or responsibility and physical attraction?
First of all, we have to question all existing theories about what is available, after doing some analysis we can make a decision. I want to question every theory out there.
What is the commitment?
Commitment is something we agree with someone to do in the future. It has any relation with love, why do we need commitment in our relationship? We can love the entire nature without any commitment or affection. When we can understand what is love only then it’s possible to love everything. Not for only a particular person or a group or a religion. Love can’t divide with group or dogma, then it’s become a belief of attraction. Belief is not to love, commitment is not to love, attraction is not love, intimacy is not loved, and this all thing combination also doesn't love.
What is passion?
When we talk to someone with deep emotion and interest that is called passion. Passion can create anywhere when we feel attracted to someone. Attraction has a correlation with passion, so I can call it a combination of attraction and affection. Passion isn’t love, passion has no meaning without attraction. There is a problem, when we try to make this “love” word more important and want to make a different meaning then we suffer. I think human nature works this way, humans can’t think without themselves and ignore all our egoistic emotions. Word has no meaning in itself, how we interpret this word and what is our pre conceive emotion and memory in our mind with this word, that’s the actual meaning of the word. The same word can have different meanings for different people, so the words are subjective. If someone says passion is love, he is okay with his meaning.
What is intimacy?
Intimacy is basically physical attraction for someone. Intimacy can be made with a lot of people if we actually want. So, when we call intimacy a love we don’t differentiate it’s an important thing. It’s also a factor of chain that doesn’t actually prove anything. When I see tall and well figure girls this time I am attracted to them, so can I call that love? No, it’s not actually love. Then how can we measure love, which words really help us to find out what is love!
No word can’t ever express and define love clearly and it will never happen in the future also. Love will always be a debatable question or I can call it a philosophical question. Science also won’t even provide a valid answer. Love is something we can feel but never express with words.
