The whole process of mental, spiritual, and emotional riches may be summed up in one word - Love. In this series I would like to start out talking about something that all of us need, want, and give: Love….. The defection of love has many i.e.… 1) Love- 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. 2)Love - A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance. But no matter how we define it, it still has the same result…If we get it we’re happy, if we don’t we’re sad. It amazes me that some people put their happiness in the hands of others and not in them selves….. Happiness is not what happens by chance. Nor is it something you can only wish for. Happiness is something you create for yourself. Self Love - The instinct or desire to promote one's own well-being; regard for or love of one's self Three basic things to keep in mind : Who you are is more important than what you do. You are valuable. Nothing can change that. What you want always matters. Love is too wonderful for any of us to have a "right" to it!. Need is not love. Love is not passion. Passion is not love. (But they sure work well together!) Romantic love is somewhat overvalued. The love of strangers is greatly undervalued. Love and hate are not opposites. They coexist in all relationships. Never set up tests of someone's love for you. It's very hard to kill love, but "testing" it can do the job very quickly! Getting love is seldom more than a matter of: 1) Finding someone who can love, 2) Asking for their love, 3) Then receiving it without imagining that strings are attached. For people who have not yet learned to love themselves, absorbing love is the hardest, and most necessary, thing they can do. Loving is a little bit scary. After all, it might get thrown back in your face. But loving no one is the scariest of all. It leads to isolation, desperation and other horrors. There is nothing more wonderful for a loving person than to see someone absorb their love. Don't impugn the motives of someone who loves you, and don't be surprised when you find that they want something from you. Everyone who loves you is selfish. So is everyone who doesn't! So is everyone. It's not complicated to find out if someone loves you. Just look into their eyes as they are looking at you and believe what you see! Our partners need to love us AND treat us well! Love does not conquer all! (Damn it!) Love is not joy, but it sure brings a lot of it around! I can't explain why we humans have been given the ability to love but I intend to spend my whole life taking full advantage of it. I want to take it when it's there and move on when it's not. I want to give it when I have it, and continue to marvel as I watch it multiply. Love is about inclusion. Self-love is taking our place in the universe. Loving others is giving them a place within ourselves. Now I think it would be best if we explored the other side of Love…. there is no characteristic facial expression for love As elusive as it is irrational, love is thought to be our noblest and strongest emotion. Love may show in breathing rate, dating, the face turning “red“, heart rate, a hug, a kiss, sex, personal distance, pupil size, and the tone in your voice. Lust, admiration, crush or respect. Love can mean different things to different people. The love you feel for members of your family is very different from the passionate, erotic (from Eros, the Greek god of love) feelings you have for your mate. You can love your friends, but that sort of platonic affection is very different from what you feel for your boyfriend. Yet some people maintain that there is no difference in types of love and that all forms spring from the same human desire to connect with another being. While this may be true, how can you determine if what you feel is love and not just sexual attraction? And what if you happen to find someone you're in love with, but then you decide to ignore your feelings because the timing is off? Does true love only come around once, or can it happen many times in one's life? Is there really such a thing as love at first sight, or can you only truly fall in love with someone you've known for a long time? Unreciprocated love is very common and has been around since before Shakespeare's time. And while the 19th century poets may have made it sound idealistic, the problem with this situation is that it can quickly turn into an obsession if you're not careful. Most people are programmed to want what they can't have (also known as 'the grass is greener on the other side' syndrome). By simply being denied someone's love, they can form feelings of attachment, which can turn into an obsession if left uncontrolled. Another problem with unrequited love is that it can quickly become more of a challenge than a real emotion. Being rejected can rob someone of his ego, and in turn, this person may try to prove that he is worthy of love. On the other hand, if you feel strongly attached to someone because you respect and admire who they are, you may actually be in love. So be really careful of who you choose to love and make sure that the love comes back to you….

there is no characteristic facial expression for love

The love you feel for members of your family is very different from the passionate, erotic (from Eros, the Greek god of love) feelings you have for your mate. You can love your friends, but that sort of platonic affection is very different from what you feel for your boyfriend.
