Love is the interpretation of a certain feeling/s, action or set of actions resembling those produced from the biochemical reactions which happen to facilitate mating in the human species.
That interpretation is pretty open, honestly. I suppose that's the hard part to define. I'm more of an intuitive type. I'm not good at dissecting what love is, but I know it when I sees it.

Well love is an extension of the Soul..which is colored the same as a yoke for example.. Light has extended from the soul..and from this bases was the division of light into colors of the refractory..and then from there we found love..which is the rainbow of experience..people can fall in love..but I can also love things and myself..so its not always just a materialistic mating factor..though that is definitely a part of love no doubt..
I ask you a question what would this mean to you..?
God is love!

not just mating cooperation in larger social groups and compassion when we are injured or healing. it is the beginning of wisdom and seeing the self in others.

Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection ("I love my mother") to pleasure ("I loved that meal"). It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment. It can also be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection—"the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another". It may also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals.
Non-Western traditions have also distinguished variants or symbioses of these states; words like storge, philia, eros, and agape each describe a unique "concept" of love. Love has additional religious or spiritual meaning—notably in Abrahamic religions. This diversity of uses and meanings combined with the complexity of the feelings involved makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, compared to other emotional states.
Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.
Love may be understood as a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.

God = Theos = The = Mean Arbitrary Title
for a deity to have significance it must have a name. God isn't a name, it's a title. so point goes to Hippocampus.

>Love is the interpretation
Love isn't an interpretation. It happens before you can even interpret it. It's the cosmic beforeness

Love is the highest vibratory state that exists..
It solely having to do with mating and biochemical reactions is a stretch..I find a lot of women attractive, and I would have sex with many of them (which would promote reproducing, etc)…
BUT love is rare and goes beyond just mating. Even though I would have sex with many of these beautiful women, love can only happen so many times, and with only so many people.
Love is a special thing which transcends physical (and even mental) attraction.
When talking about two people-it is a connection, a bond…that goes beyond just biochemical stuff.
Biochemical stuff happens, but that is just the byproduct imo.

Love is genuine selfless care.
Selfish care is desire.
I think the important thing is to find a balance between being loving and being selfish, don't go to polar ends, the goal is to keep away from things like blind love.

I feel like a slut sometimes, because I feel overwhelmed with love so easily, it kinda makes me nervous how easy it is to radiate love.
I will be out exercising and see an overweight person giving it their best, and I always picture long pink arms coming out of my chest and hugging them, motivating them to keep doing what they're doing, then I get a huge rush, chills, and feel amazing, happens all the time. Or if I see someone having a hard time in their daily life, I imagine in my minds eye, myself underneath them with wings of an angel, holding them up, helping them along.
Those are two visuals which have entered my mind repetitively throughout my life when I feel what I think is love. I get overwhelmed by love sometimes, almost so much so that I can't move, just bask in its warm glow until the feeling subsides. I believe part of why I am here on this earth, is to be love and understanding made flesh, I am not a perfect example of either of those things, but I try my best to be a good representation of those things.
It seems like this world is easier to navigate if you act in a more self oriented manner, it seems like there really is some great light and dark battle going on in this reality, and if you choose the selfish path you're rewarded with material gain, but the path of love does not offer material riches, instead it offers a different kind of wealth as cheesy as that sounds.
This is just my experience with love, but I have really seen how the majority of this world puts love on the back burner, instead focusing to feed the ego, and make things a meat grinder with no thought on mowing people down for gain, love is not found in such self centered actions. Someone might say those types of negative actions are love, because you're loving yourself enough to do what has to be done to get ahead because this is a harsh world, dog eat dog mentality, but I believe that when one is being love in their daily lives, they instinctively look out for the well being of those around them.

I do something similar, when I'm on the bus for example I'll envision myself hugging the person sitting next to me.

I like this.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Some might say so, but I'd be the first to disagree with them.
Great post though man.
