What is love?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

can sustain a person when no food is available


When a choice is made to feed your loved ones or yourself, you feed your loved ones and sustain yourself on the love you have for them. To deny yourself for another is love shone, in action.

True love is when you don't cheat behind the other persons back. Well, thats all I know.

For me i get a sort of hardening
Hardening, eh Archie?
I think you may be confusing love with being horny


Careful what you wish... You just might get it.

Love can be more treacherous then the deepest ocean or the highest mountain,
Love is the one and single emotion that is neither complicated nor easy to understand.

truth is the boundarie seperating Love from Hate can be very thin, so thin, that it doesn't seem to exist, now kiddies, don't let these warning words of one person restrict you from experiencing the Love, all Im saying is, Love has triggered wars in the Past.

And i thought SW first post would be saynig "baby don't hurt me....don't hurt me....no more" and be based around bad music.

Each person will have their own definitions about what love is, that is what makes it so great - no two peoples "love" definition will be the same - you cannot experience the same gamut of emotions as another human...making love totally unique to each individual. Otherwise it would be like a cake - taste the same for everyone, for every bite!. That would be dull

**Hateful rant ahead**

Love, the most insidious thing ever to curse this earth. I prefer to think of it as a state of mind rather than an emotion. It will hurt you, it will bring to the edge of the abyss and it will eventually break you. The lucky ones manage to traverse the pitfalls and make it, enjoying the full benefits it brings of complete bliss and better physical health. However, most people will experience it yet only be harmed by it. I myself have learnt that the hard way. I was quite content in my hateful ways until love came along and attacked. It tied me up in it's web of intruige, uncertainty and lies. Until finally it all came crashing down and I lost several friends, as well as having the whole rumours about me behind my back spread, not only that but I wasted a few months of my life which I'll never get back. That only pushed me more towards hate's malevolent embrace in the end. Love has since attempted several more assaults against me and my good friend hate, some of them almost mentally incapacitated me they were so fierce. The most recent has me becoming emotionally attached to the most unlikely of people. A person who, ironically, is forever out of my grasp. Trust love to torture eh. That should leave soon though. That's my rant. Remember kids, when love come's a-knockin'. Kick it in the groin and call your parents to help you get rid of it.

Friends are just people who have used each other so often it has become habitual.

Love is a great thing, without it, the world would truly be a place of sorrow, you'd have no "special" feeling to cheer you up, and so, you're probably misrable (sp?) your whole life (just look at monks, I can't picture them having an extremly interesting life).

To be honest, I've had those feelings, but I've never had a GF (damn, thats really embarrasing)

Seal my ass, it was Haddaway.

@Chet: thought somene would pick on that, but i stick by it, i get knots in my stomach.

@Heltak: Love does exist, its an emotion, like hate, you remember hate, its what drives that black heart of yours.

Anyway, love is propping up the music industry and has been for the last 50 years.

A lot of people may smirk about this but the Classical Greeks defined love in many different forms. For example, the love of a parent for his child is one form of love. The love between spouses was another. For them, the two were not the same although very similar ... and there were other words of love in addition to distiguishing physical love from spiritual love.

In religious terms, the Greek word, agape, a form of extremely devoted, self-sacrificing and passionate love often is used to describe the condition of love that the martyred saints had for God, for example. Again a different kind of love.

I think that they may have had a better understanding of love than we do today.
Love means different things, depending upon the circumstances.

And just because, say, a gf would not care to die for her bf to prove her love for him does not mean that she doesn't love him or vice versa.

Love depends on who you are.
For some its: "Damn, she's a sexy beast!" *Animal Noises* ( )
But for most of us its seeing the person that you feel emotionally attracted to who you enjoy talking and being with all of the time.

To me, defining love is very simple nowadays.

Love is when you wake up one morning and realise that you would do absolutely anything, including giving your life or causing yourself physical or mental harm, for someone else.

It really is that simple. Its an overwhelming feeling of altruism. Whether it be for your partner, your children or your friends. Love is being prepared to lose everything for that person's well-being.
