Love is a very strong feeling of affection. Love is created by hormones in the brain, telling the person if they like somebody. Love cannot easily be described for it is a mix of emotions, people can love and be loved in different ways.

Love is the attraction of one person to another person, object or sensation. It is debated whether animals can experience love. Love is created by chemical reactions in the brain. Eating chocolate releases the same chemicals in the brain giving one the feeling of love.

Love is a different feeling for many people; different people can feel or experience love in different ways. As a result it is something that is hard to define.

A common belief is that there is a difference between being "in" love and loving someone. Being in-love is something which many people believe is too much; people think about the person or thing they are in love with a lot, the person or animal (if that is possible) might think that the one he/she is "in love" with is very important to them. There are many forms of love: self-love, divine love, love for another person (family member, friend, lover), just to name a few. In fact, love does not even have to involve people; for example, love can exist in regard to an object or idea. Psychology divides love into three basic categories: brotherly love, romantic love, and physical love. Theoretically, having all three makes true love. Often times love can be confused for another feeling; what was thought to be love may not have even been love, but another feeling. However, as was said earlier, it is hard to tell if the feeling of love was ever there since it is hard to define in the first place. There are other instances when love can be destroyed; love was once there, but another feeling, such as jealousy or anger, has taken over the feeling of love.

The basis for all love is respect, esteem, and admiration. Respect must be present in order for love to germinate and grow. One cannot love someone or something one disrespects, hates, or loathes.

Everyone thinks of love in many different ways. Some people believe in love at first sight, while others believe in a love that takes time to grow and become great. It has the power to drive one to greater actions, sometimes crazy actions. It is thought to be the best and highest of all emotions, possibly even the greatest purpose in life.

Many feel love is the feeling of being connected to someone, or something in the sense that you feel you couldn't live without them/it. The feeling of knowing that certain person/thing is very important to you.

Love can be well described as chemical chaos, although romantic love is seen to fit this description the best. Brotherly love, the love for family and people close to one is an innate feeling.

Some people confuse love with infatuation (when one has many feelings for a person, but aren't strong enough to be love). You could say this is not true love but sometimes known as 'puppy love'. This usually happens in a young age especially with teenagers.

love is the best thing that can happen to a person. Being in love is great. It has the same sensation as flying.when you love someone you are not afraid of expressing it, you dont care that others might know of it. You can do anything for the person you love. Some lovers might commit suicide if their partner passes away.

Love is unconditional. Real true love is anyway!! You feel as if even when the person is right or wrong you still love them and need them. You never want them out of your sight and you love to be around them. There is compassion present in the relationship. Things are done for each other because the individual person wants to do it.

But unfortunately many people play at love in order to get something out of someone. This is not love.

'Bold 'text'Love can make old people cry like babies. It is a feeling that is found deep within a person's self. At times one may have to look for it within themselves as it may not be easy to find.
