What is love?

in love •  8 years ago  (edited)

In the Daily Good, news that inspire
I found an article that said the following " There was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,'Nothing, I just helped him cry.' "

I am sure most of us have already encountered countless articles or even book regarding what love is all about. Yet we still ponder on the meaning of love.

We ask ourselves what is love? Can it be for the fact that love confuses us on various accounts, or that we are simply unable to explain the feelings we experience when we fall in love or is it the mere concept of unconditional love that boggels our minds or maybe it's the contradictions of love that causes us to ask such a philosophical question?

Let's back up a little, it's safe to say in the light of our uniqueness that we all have our own ideas, opinions and believes.
Thats when confusion arises; what one person may see as a token of love another might not, due to that we are caught up in our own idea of what it means to be loved, that we question our love for one another, and forget to stop, think and communicate.

Love comes in different forms we just need to know how to notice it.

There are five different love languages, which Gary D. chapman writes about which is " receiving gifts, quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service (devotion) and Physical touch"

Here is a link for the married couples: on the five love languages
