What is love ?

I saw this question today… what is love ? And I belive it is one of the most important questions in human history, as it has influenced our understading and perception on how things move around in the world. I belive that understanding love has started wars and created peace, has given birth to children and has killed others, has pertained to evolution and has hidden secrets that might show our weaknesses. Has given us hope and has dissapointed us… but enough. Strangely enough, I belive that love is a state of the soul. Not of the mind … not of the sexual organs, just the soul. It’s something that makes us better than we usually tend to be, or perhaps if powerfull enough will change our overall life into a better one. Yes, I think love is the good thing in our life, it’s the only thing that created this world, it’s what keeps us alive and going, and it’s what illuminates into our heart so we can see our way full of dusk and stones. It’s what makes it breath and creates that feeling of … calm inside you. Have you ever felt that ? That no matter what happens in your life, no matter how hard things will go in every single direction, as long as you have love, and the loved one(s) near you things will be all right one way or the other. That is perhaps when loosing a beloved you feel like a piece of your life goes away. Needing love is natural, I’d say and even some don’t like to admit it eventually, everybody needs some form of love. In the same time the more you love someone … you need to get some love back. What happens if you don’t ? You go down …
