Love is the universal sentiment of affection. People all around the world identify themselves in a relationship through love. Love is the summ of many emotions and experiences tied together by affection. The word love can also mean pleasure like in „I love ice cream”. Love has many meanings and this makes the word itself to be difficult to explain. Love is the supreme emotion and feeling you can have for somebody. Love is of many kinds. For example your mother and father love you unconditionally. You are their child and doesn`t matter whether you screw things up badly they will still love you. Another kind of love is that for a best friend. You share everything with a best friend and after many years of friendship you love that person ,not in a weird way, but in a platonic way. The word love is used very often and as a consequence it has lost it`s deep meaning. Nowadays we „love” everything from tv`s to food , pets and clothes.
The most important meaning of love is found when it`s shared in an intimate relationship. Marriage and relationships are theoretically based on love, and I say theoretically because in today`s society love is not what everyone looks for in a relationship. Money and social status are more important. People who believe in love are those who really know what a great feeling it is. When being inlove, nothing else matters. You have a possitive attitude , you are always happy and things seem to settle around you by themselves. You are more relaxed at work, things go much better with your family, money becomes irrelevant and food more tasteful. It`s true also, that love is the most irrational feeling that makes you act crazy and feel all the other emotions that are not so pleasent like sadness and disappointment. But love deserves all efforts, because is one of lifes purposes. In general people want to accomplish in life the following : get a good job, earn a good salary, fall in love and get married, have children and grandchildren and finally die of old age completelly satisfied.
Love gives „birth” to some other feelings that are more negative like : jealousy, paranoia, dependence and so on. These feelings mostly depend on somebody`s state of spirit. But to have a great relationship without being ruined by these negative feelings, you need to trust the other person and there has to be understanding between the two of you. The key to a long lasting life together is acceptance and tolerance. Love is like a storm , it can come very fast and go the same way. It can start from first meeting someone or it can grow in time. In conclusion love is that special feeling that gives you a good state of mind and spirit even though you are not well. The best feeling ever is when you find your soulmate, even if it`s just for a short time or maybe for your entire life.
