Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my boyfriend"). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

Love is an extremely powerful emotion; it can be irresistible and people are often bound to pursue their love interests. Love is a major theme in literature, poetry, and film.

As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love. 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.

How much do you love your earth, and what are you willing to do to protect it?
Q. I love this earth that God made for us to enjoy. With all its majestic beauty. From snow topped mountains, to cliffs of the amazing grand canyon and everything in between. It was made to be lived in but also to be loved and taken care of. Now I'm no tree hugger, but I think we can all do our part in helping this Earth that we call home, stay healthy and strong.

A. Yeah I'm no tree hugger either, but I love this land particularly my homeland of the USA and want our streams to run clean and be able to enjoy the beauty. I do recycle and clean up any mess I make and it irritates me when others don't. I grew up surrounded by green pastures and clear springs with clean water and it saddens me that people want to pollute and ruin a good thing that God made for us all to enjoy,

Why are love hearts shaped differently from actual hearts and how did they get that shape?
Q. I've been wondering about this for ahwile. I mean, your actual heart is kinda ovalish, right? So why do love hearts look different from the organ heart, and how did they get that look? Thanks to any answers that help!

A. Love hearts are a symbol of love, which is an act of sacrifice and unification. The two halves of a red love heart means the the one that loves another breakes one's own heart to give one half of it to another whom one loves. The other symbolism of the two halves is in the act of unification of two into one single being for those who love each other wish to become one. That's the symbolism of the love hearts.
