The Hitch Hikers guide to the galaxy says something about love: Avoid

I personally think that love is a exagerated form of liking, but you probally shouldnt trust me since I have never fell in love for anyone...

Love is for the weak.
Like sympathy and compassion and generally being nice, for the weak.

love = FAIL.

Loving is liking something, even with it faults.

It´s a hardcoded Feature of the Brain, to get Persons who procreate attached to each other, till the Effect usually vannishes after 4- 7 Years. The Effect was found usefull by Woman and Society, so found itself on the Prolist of Partnerselection, therefore Evolution.

Love as it is clichee in Hollywoodmovies was a Thoughtproduct of the Romantic Movement, before that it was only a luxery of the Royal ones who had Bards to sing about such stuff for Entertaiment, comon People had to live with Engineered Marriages by Familyeldests, who wanted to keep the Money together, or expand there Influence..

Note to myself: Never read Wikis again, before posting in Spring.

The whole Post sucks, Vote casted for Deletion. And can somebody GrownUp please remove that Note to myself-stuff?

I think love isnt just biological, there are cases were it goes FAR beyond the period and/or intensity necessary just for procriation :) Else everbody would divorce after 4~7 years

By the way, the Taj Mahal was built as a tomb for the wife of a king, and he was planning to build a black copy of it for himself but his sons decided he was crazy and locked him into a tall tower for life.

Yes, there are Times two have to go through a whole live together, mostly because one, or both have a Deficit, leafing an Abilitygap the other one fills- however, having seen some couples growing old & mean, that has nothing to do with the "They lived happily ever after" and more with "They couldn´t get along without each other ever after...(although they would if they could)"

The only reason why People raise Love so high in there Opinion is that something that overrides intelectuell Capacity and selfpreservation of there Minds in mere Minutes must be incredible Powerfull.. sort of nessesary selfdenial that your Personality can be easy overriden, cracked by nature...

I dont think that continued union necessarly means they are togheder because they dont know how to live winhout the other, I suppose its more like a relation similar to friendship.

That's a cool video. I'd heard the song before, but had not seen the video to go with it.

It sounds like a lot of people in this thread and the characters in this video are referring to relationships as far as this topic, what is love, goes.

This thread sounds like a philosophical conversation starter to me. :|

One things for certain, there are many different kinds of relationships out there in which people say they are in love (traditional Japanese relationships, relationships that a sultan could have with all of his wives, Romeo and Juliet kind of relationships, etc.). I suppose anyone who wants to be in a relationship would have to figure out exactly what kind of relationship they want to be in and how to stay in it it without negatively affecting the other person.

Here's a video of a bunch of people who could think they are in love and may continue to think they are in love.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=CxJhtu5EUJ0

There's a lot of pretty romantic scenes in this video, a bit of a spiritual feeling to it, and a lot of characters in it that appear to be friends that trust one another.

I'm not saying that the characteristics that I just stated and which are in this video mean that anyone in this video is in love. This video does not show or even hint at any negative events that may occur while in or because of relationships, but I think it's a nice start if your wondering about that sort of thing.

love is like a gummy bear, sweet and cuddly tends to get eaten quickly, may lead to decapitation

meh, i guess getting serious at my age tends to be silly. but thats debateable. It just so happens im in 'love' with a girl who just seems to really be a bitch to me constantly and then shows this really nice affectionate side but then is a bitch the next second.

Most, intresting... Yet, i've always been addicted to that song for some reason... Love, in my opinion, is something we have no understanding of, it's an unnatural Force.
