The CnP post is the only good post I've ever read on this board attempting to define love. In fact, disagreeing with it pretty much proves the point of it. Trying to narrowly define something that is understood differently across cultures and individuals is pointless. Not to mention English is one of the worst languages to attempt to define it in. There are no less than 3 words in Japanese that would all get translated to 'love' in English, and none of them mean the exact same thing.

Also the first post in this thread is ridiculous. It reads like the first romantic epiphany of a teenaged girl. I realize this is an anonymous internet board, but come on. Some of us here are over 30 and I can only roll my eyes so far.
