What Is Love?

This post will see how you agree with me about 'love'^^ and I would like to hear from you guys. In fact, this statement is from the Bible.

------


Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protect, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

爱是永恒忍耐,又有恩慈,爱是不嫉妒,爱是不自夸,不张狂。
不做害羞的事,不求自己的益处,不轻易发怒,不计算人的恶。
不喜欢不义,只喜欢真理。
凡事包容,凡事相信,凡事盼望,凡事忍耐。

By stating the virtues above is not meant by me had achieved all 15 of them. Apparently, I'm still working on it =) Haiz... Just realized that I'm deteriorating in Love XD

you left out love is unselfish, or is it?
love is about sacrifice, is it not?

i'm pretty confused myself, but i don't think love is limited to only those 15 virtues. it's sort of a grey area where love is concerned. there is no actual definition or anything. for me, it is what we feel inside, and how we react to it.

this might not be a very logical piece of thinking, but then, love is abstract, isn't it?

Hm... Love is unselfish is same as 'not self-seeking' isn't it? And all virtues above are sacrifices =) eg, not envy, not proud, not rude, not easily angered etc~

I actually take this quote from the Bible XD

hm... can't figure out how you see proud, envy, rude as sacrifice...

but then, everyone's entitled to their opinions..

love... love hurts a lot at times, and yet we can't live without it...
