If love has no definition, then it means nothing.

That means if you tell someone you love them or vice-versa, it means nothing.

The OP did not ask for reasons for love but the meaning of love.

Thus my answer is my children. A childs love is the purest ever.

Re: Meaning Of Love by onyinye2(f): 8:56pm On Aug 21, 2008
Love has no definition. To define and fully understand love, is to try and fully understand the ways of water. If you say love must be earned, then what about the unconditional love from our Savior? Do you think we all as sinners deserve that kind of love at all times? That is for you to answer.

All i corrected was your post because it did not answer the question.  Again the question was not the reason you love by MEANING of love.  Two totally different things;

Reason = a statement offered in explanation or justification

Meaning = the thing one intends to convey especially by language


There is no reason for why i love my children.

When you say I love I say my children.

Simple word association.

The meaning of love for each person is different.  It is that thing that makes your heart swell, like mine is now, when you think of it/them.

My children are the air that I breath, the blood that pumps thru my veins, the life force that sustains me, the reason i raise every morning and the thought of them causes my heart to swell.

the above is how i feel about them and how they effect me, not the reason i love them.  I love them because i carried them under my heart for 9 months and in my heart forever.  they are half me.  Words cant fully describe the love a mother has for her children.

all this essays are like words wt no meaning

you're contraditing yourself,so there is a reason afterall

so tell me ,what about your husband?don't u love him?or do u have another definition to d feelings u have for him

there is a reason for everything that has got a definiton here on earth and that is why i said love has no definiton

you love your kids have not defined love

sorry to say this sistawoman but u have no point
Re: Meaning Of Love by topup: 9:21pm On Aug 21, 2008
I normally ignore these type of topics. 'What is love' 'How do you tell if someone is in love' 'Does he love me' blah blah, but for some reason I feel like I want to give this a shot.

My definition of love:

You couldn't care less about that four letter word,
Or what it means for us,
You couldn't care less about what your friends are up to,
Because what we share is fabulous!

You already feel apart of me,
As much as I do you,
And you've already imagined what it would seem,
To say on that special day, the I dos.

You've already imagined my eyes,
On the face of our little daughter or son,
You already imagined my wrinkled hand in yours,
On our 30th wedding anniversary, and no longer feeling alone.

So deep in this that you forget about love,
The four letter word the world frets about,
That you've married me, adopted me and cherish all the above,
And love is now an understatement, to this emotion that makes you want to scream and shout.

Copyright tj LOL!!!

Hope you like, I wrote it at the top of my head!

Since love has no defintion then it could mean anything from hate to dispair to anger.

It has to have a defintion otherwise how would you know what it MEANS in a sentance. Do you just use words with no defintion on a daily basis?

Oh yea to answer your other question there is no reason why i love my husband I just do.

Look this one up:

tope2000:

Yes for ME it is. I cant tell you what it means to you.
And when you have one, when you carry him/her in your belly and feel them move and feed them from your breast and change thier diapers, clean up thier voimit, rub thier backs and cry because they are in pain and you cant stop it then tell me that your children are not the meaning of love.

How the hell can yall tell me that my meaning of love is wrong. This is a subjective term.

I have nothing more to say about it. Holla at a sista when you have children. Peace
Re: Meaning Of Love by topup: 9:49pm On Aug 21, 2008

If that i s what u define as love then good 4 you
i know kids are most people pride and joy
and im sure everyone that has kids love then just as much as you love yours but i am sure the love you have for your kids is indescribable, which still brings me back to Love as NO DEFINITION, It is feeling that just grows and some cases also die.

My children are also my pride and joy.  Love is not the only word to describe them.

I just dont understand how one can use a word w/o knowing the definition of it.  It has to be defined in some way for you to understand what it is.  

When you first felt it did you say i dont know what this is it is just a feeling?  no you said I feel love in my heart.  In doing so you defined it.
Re: Meaning Of Love by sistawoman: 9:59pm On Aug 21, 2008
