What is Love?

What is love? Ah yes, the age old question, breed or believe? What do you think love is, is it actually just a bunch of chemicals or something greater?

I think it is what you make it. Its a combination of evolution, persistence, and empathy. Wanting to be in a person's life so much, that you'd do or give anything. Love is equally pain as much as it is life. ☯️ The candle stick that burns hot until it's at its end. Passionate yet temporary, just like our existence being alive in this chaotic beautiful world.


What is love to you?

It's when you rank someone else's well-being ahead of your own.

Love is the most powerful force in the universe. I believe this unironically, and not in a woo-woo kind of way.

Love compels people to make the world better, but it can also compel people to do horrible things.

I see love like an energy field that extends outward from people.

Some people have a very small love field, they only love themselves.
Some people have a moderate size, they love themselves and their family.
Other people have love for everyone. Their love energy field is quite large.

It's like a sliding scale representing the number of people you care about.

Yes, but does the drop off of the love field obey an inverse square law?  Is it affected by strong gravitational fields?  When happens to love when one approaches the speed of light?

I think it varies from person to person, subjectively for me it feels more linear than an inverse square. Also distance is not literal since I love people on wetfish more than random strangers even though people on wetfish are physically located all over the world.

Maybe it's not physical distance but instead degrees of separation? Physical distance definitely plays into it, but I feel closer to people that I talk to on a regular basis online more than my neighbor down the street whose only interaction with me is waving and saying hi

Love is definitely affected by time which means that as you approach the speed of light other people's love for you would decay due to the difference in time dilation
