What is...?

Someone asked me to define "love" 2day... pretty good question i gotta admit, one that would require months or even years of debate and yet we would never find an answer we would all agree on. Agreed? Well thankfully for us, there is the dictionary and based on dictionary.com there are several meanings, eg.

1.	a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

2.	a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.

there are altogether 28 definitions of love and to me none of them make much sense. I used to think i understood what love was and the actual meaning of it but sadly it was all an illusion. (Don't wanna go into details here) So to actually answer that question required some thinking... and i realised, there really isn't anyway to describe, explain or express love. Or there really isn't a standard way to do it. It really depends on who is the recipient of this wonderful thing called love. Like Mum doesn't like mushy stuff so Dad would make it up by doing the simplest of things for her, like asking her how was her day, though they work together and basically showing interest in her life, in short including her in his and vice versa. Plus in this time and age, i find love to be the most overused and overrated word in the english dictionary. Almost everyone is using it but do they really mean it? In all contexts, do they really mean it? I guess the question should really be does TRUE love still exist?
