What is

LOVE?

Ask hundred people to define “hate” and you will get nearly the same answers,

but for love you will get more answers than a hundred!

The definition of love has challenged and

perplexed thinkers and lovers since the

beginning of time.

Some quotes and an

Illustration of

"Love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile." - Elizabeth Browning

But being ‘in love’ is different from loving all those around you. Love is very difficult to describe.

This subtle feeling may occur because

of a single look, smell, words, voice

or appearance.

When you are in love you will feel a strong bond between you and the other person. You will always be on the look out for this person.

You will be happy whenever the person you are in love with

acknowledges you. You know it is nothing but...

The physical appearance plays a

huge role in the initial attraction. However,

love is not just a physical attraction; it

is as spiritual and emotional as physical.- Nazam Joseph

"True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without

violent demonstrations; it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart." -

Honore de Balzac.

A reminder: She Doesn’t Know Me, But I Still Know Who She Is.

From a surgeon’s Point of

narration.

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an

elderly gentleman in his 80′s, arrived to have stitches

removed from his thumb.

He said he was in a hurry as he had another appointment at 9:00 am. I signed him in, asked him to take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him.

redressed the wound.

I saw him glance at his watch, and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I could evaluate his wound. On examination, I saw it was well healed, so I removed his sutures and

While dressing his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor’s

appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman replied no, but he needed to go to

the nursing home to have breakfast with his dear wife.

I proceeded to inquire about his wife’s health. He told me that she had been there for a while!

As she is a victim of

Alzheimer’s disease.

As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, and that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised and asked him, “And you still go every morning, even though she

doesn’t know who you are?”

He smiled as he patted my hand and said, “She doesn’t know me but I still know who she is.”

I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm and thought;“That is the kind of love I want in my life. True love may neither be physical nor romantic... to last”

"Love is not about finding the right person, but

creating a right relationship. It's not about how much

love you have in the beginning but how much

love you build till the end."

What then is LOVE?

True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

Christian religiongave a satisfyingdefinition of LOVE.It probably covers all one may need to grow in...

“LOVE is Patience and Endurance”

“LOVE is Caring and Loving

regardless of adversity”

“LOVE protects”

“LOVE is hope, sharing, trusting and LEGAL!. If it hurts it is not LOVE!”

Life is a flower of which love is the honey.

Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.

Love makes everything beautiful. Love is two heads with a single

mind and thought.
