    Nobody will agree to any justifiable answer to what love is as a whole, complete thing.

    Parts of love include human interaction, relationships, marriage, family.

    Humans contribute to love, it cannot be accomplished in full, only done by part, but in the course of your lifetime, you can accomplish love, one by one

    When someone meets your full criteria of "well shit" you'll gain some sort of abnormal attraction towards them and then pursue them against all odds.

    Love is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment. In philosophical context, love is a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection. Love is central to many religions, as in the Christian phrase, "God is love" or Agape in the Canonical gospels. Love may also be described as actions towards others (or oneself) based on compassion, or as actions towards others based on affection.

    or if you wanted a more serious answer:
    [spoiler:21utlc86]What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives, acts, and experiences otherwise than we do…?

    Love is nature's messed up way of making you reproduce.

    That's very unoriginal.

    Anyways, love is all you need.

    Well sirdust mysteriously de-posted his Haddaway video but he was swiftly replaced by Link so all is well.

    To answer the question posed by the OP: love is silly.

    It seems I'm the only person on this forum who has a positive feeling toward love, that is just depressing

    Nah, I do as well. As for love, I can't specifically define it, so I am keeping my head down.

    You guys should form a Israeli Folk Band. You could call yourselves "The Loving Jewful".
