Love

A place to talk about serious "real life" stuff without having to place it in between a demand by Blankie for food and Logue's latest almost-pr0n thread.

I meant being in love, but go to town on both.

Personally, I'd go with what most people were saying. To give yourself totally to a person and expect nothing in return, unconditional love. But I also think that there's a love where you still expect things in return, and that's still love, but a lesser love.

being in love is a verry irrational and pretty much indescribable experience, mostly diffrently experienced from person to person. Most of the definitions or opnions, whatever, i've read in this topic describe love as a general emotion, not being in love wich is a completely diffrent story.

Also, don't be emo about it.

In the immortal words or Rayne Summers, "If you can picture her pooping and still want to have sex afterwards, you're there."

On a more serious note, I quite like how the Greeks defined love. There are three main kinds: eros(passion), phila(friendship), and agape(love). Eros, where the word erotic comes from, is pretty easy to understand. It is a sensual longing or desire. Phila is the love between friends, a friendly bond. Lastly, agape is an unconditional kind of love. Christians have defined it as a godly, self-sacrificing love, but it's more of a contentment with the person.

Of course these are all general definitions, and they go deeper than what I mentioned. I just wanted to give you a basic idea. More in-depth information isn;t hard to find if you want.
