What is love??

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 to intense interpersonal emotion. . Love is not a single feeling but an emotion built from two or more feelings. Anything vital to us creates more than one feeling, and we also have feelings about our feelings (and thoughts about our feelings). 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.

As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, innefable 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.

Love is a strange thing. It can be the most amazing feeling in the world, or it can really hurt, but in the end love is something most, if not all of us, will face. While there are many different ways to defined love and there are many different ways to love someone (even yourself), here is a general guide to loving.How to show our love to people that are we felling love????

1. Say it. When you say the words "I Love You", they should carry with them the desire to show someone that you love them, not what you simply want to feel. When you say it make sure you really mean it and are willing to do anything for that special person.
2. Empathize. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. Rather than impose your own expectations or attempt to control them, try to understand how they feel, where they come from, and who they are. Realize how they could also love you back just as well.
3. Love unconditionally. If you cannot love another person without attaching stipulations, then it is not love at all, but deep-seated opportunism (one who makes the most of an advantage, often unmindful of others). If your interest is not in the other person as such, but rather in how that person can enhance your experience of life, then it is not unconditional. If you have no intention of improving that person’s life, or allowing that person to be themselves and accepting them as they are, and not who you want them to be, then you are not striving to love them unconditionally.
4. Expect nothing in return. That doesn't mean you should allow someone to mistreat or undervalue you. It means that giving love does not guarantee receiving love. Try loving just for the sake of love. Realize that someone may have a different way of showing his or her love for you, do not expect to be loved back in exactly the same way.
5. Realize it can be lost. If you realize that you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of what you have. Think how lucky you are to have someone to love.

In up there have are tips how we can show our love either love with family , love to good and love with somebody that can make we happy.........But what i can says here, love also can make people want to kill himself if they not control their emotions. Love also can give advantages and disadvantages when people fell it...

Why can't we love them??

Hitting, kicking, teasing, beating, treaten and harass one of their peers in a verbal way, grab people’s stuff and money, force people to do something that they don’t want to do, locking them in or out of the rooms and sending nasty notes or text messages are such of examples of bullying that happen nowadays. Bullies act that way because for attention. They might think bullying is a way to be popular or to get what they want. Most bullies are trying to make themselves feel more important. When they pick on someone else, it can make them feel big and powerful. Therefore, some bullies tend to come from families that are characterized as having little warmth or affection. Parents of bullies also tend to use inconsistent discipline and little monitoring of where their children are throughout the day. Sometimes parents of bullies have very punitive and rigid discipline styles, with physical punishment being very common. Bullies also report less feelings of closeness to their siblings. Bullying can happen to everyone such as workers, students or children. These victims are often considered younger, weaker or sicker by their peers. Being bullied can make someone feel really bad. The stress of dealing with bullies can make them acts moody, don’t want to go outside, grades drop and physical illness. Many victims begin to distruct all their peers and have problem making friends. It's hard to keep mind on work when they worried about how to deal with the bully again. Bullying can make anywhere place a place of fear and can lead to more violence and more stress for everyone. But no one needs to put up with a bully's behavior. If you or someone you know is bothered by a bully, talk to someone you trust. Everyone has the right to feel safe, and being bullied makes people feel unsafe. Tell someone about it and keep telling until something is done. Bullying is a big problem that affects a lot of people but what do you do if someone is bullying you??
