definition of love
The definition of love is the point at which you love something or some idea more than you like yourself. There is no absolute modernistic view of this ideal. This is why love is closely associated with being crazy. The reason why people are willing to die for the chance of love, or in reaction to losing it. If you love something, it is saying that you are willing to die for which you love. This is why Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "If you haven't found something you're are wiling to die for, you have not yet lived." The point at which you truly love something is also the point at which you begin to define the value of your own life.
This interpretation of love is just a different perspective of the reality and shadows of love's power. This is why the more you respect a person, the greater feeling of love is felt. This is why love from family, friends, mentors, idols, feels so much greater than love from someone in which you have no respect for.
The classic rage of a jealous lover: for example, can be more clearly seen in this perspective. Truly saying that you are in love with someone, is also saying that you are willing to die for this person because it is also saying that you like that person more than you like yourself. This is why it will always be difficult to say those three words. The classic rage of a jealous lover will than more likely allow circumstances and reality of the moment to include death. The reaction of some people losing that instance of love will make them more prone to killing themselves or the other person because the value of "love" is more than the value of their own life.
The karma of love makes it justly more capable of producing moments that breed life, but as with all things, love will balance itself out allowing the removal of life. It is the same justification that people use for the nuclear bomb. With the ability to destroy more life, its ability to promote peace is also enhanced.
But the true allure of love lies in its ability to give meaning to a life. Because all people are in the pursuit of a continual state of happiness, the key perspective in attaining that state of happiness is the ability to give meaning to your own life. An old greek philosopher once said, "the value of a man's life is the amount of love his friends have for him." So then love also has the power to define a life, to give it happiness, and to give it meaning. This is why Johanne Von Goethe once said, "That we are shaped and molded by what we love."
But eternally as a pessimist, I must ask, "how do we know what true love is? Is it love even if it is justified by a lie?"
"Yet they out at the same time to have accounted for error also: for it is more intimately connected with animal existence and the soul continues longer in the state of error." Aristotle, On the Soul.
"All human life is sunk deep in untruth." Friederish Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human.
Does the lie really matter if you are able to feel that notion of love? Does the rationale for the artist make the emotion produced in reaction to the art any less real? And with all time, if anyone says, "I love you," it does not necessarily make it true yesterday or tomorrow. The point of love is not why you love, but only that you are capable of it. This is a key aspect of being human.
