Someone asked this question in another blog. It gave me much to ponder... but, in thinking on how to reply to Cruel Virgin, I found my own definition of Love.
The fact is, there is no one definition of Love.
The are as many definitions of Love as there are people in the Universe. What we know of Love is what our past history and life's experiences have taught us of Love. First, from our families... secondly, from encounters with the many others who enter into, or collide with, our path.
The better question would be: What do you expect of Love? What do you need, in the way of expression of Love? What do you want, with regards to Love? What will you settle for, in the way of Love? ... and what will you not accept, as an expression of Love?
The best scenario is when we can find another whose expectation/definition of Love matches our own. We are always looking for our mirror image within another's eyes.
We can find Love most any day of the week... but, can we find the Love we are searching and hoping for, in just anyone's eyes?
The best decisions in life are not always the easiest ones. But we must remain true to that inner vision, that we are always trying to relieve... afterall, it's all we have to go on.
What is all too familiar, may not always be the best thing, however. Some of us's history/experience of Love does not entail all the warm fuzzies that my own does. For some, we must create our own reality of Love, quite separate from all that we've known. For some, we must accept that nothing is ever the same... because nothing remains the same... and we sometimes must move on... or accept less than what we need or desire.
