<p>Do you think it's a real, tangible thing? Or a figment of our imaginations? Do we choose it or does it choose us?</p>
<p>Discuss?</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s tangible in the sense that you can take a physical object, put it in a box labeled Love. But I do think it is a real, tangible thing when you look at people in love. </p>
<p>It definitely chooses us. You don’t choose who you fall in love with.</p>
<p>I think that love chooses you, but you have to be willing to have an open mind to accept.</p>
<p>how are you using the term love? family love or romantic love or just a generic all-encompassing love?
for me the answers differ</p>
<p>romantic love 
because it’s the most interesting to discuss…</p>
<p>^roman - It’s funny how you say that you don’t choose who you love. I guess choosing sounds logical, and love just happens.</p>
<p><— Doesn’t believe in romantic love.</p>
<p>I’m not that hard set on the family one Brown was mentioning either. At least not unconditional. </p>
<p>Wow, I sound really cynical… I’m not.</p>
<p>Love is real in the sense that neurological responses which indicated it can be measured.</p>
<p>It’s quite the same as any other sentiment or emotion.</p>
<p>To choose who you love would be like pointing to a person and saying “That’s who I’m going to love.” And then doing it. It doesn’t work that way IMO. You meet someone and then love happens, it’s not a counscious choice.</p>
<p>Love isn’t a tangible thing, it’s a manner of action. Liking happens, but loving has to be done. If your talking about romantic attraction, well, maybe that just happens.</p>
<p>And I mean romantic love.</p>
<p>I dunno what I think about it. Sometimes I believe love is just an excuse to act irrationally. </p>
<p>It can make people extremely happy or extremely upset. </p>
<p>What is the benefit of living without love as opposed to with it?</p>
<p>I don’t think a life is worth living without love.</p>
<p>I really have no idea. I don’t think I’ll ever really know until I’ve actually fallen in love.</p>
<p>Love just happens. It’s spontaneous and certainly not tangible. People don’t just develop strong attractions towards everyone they meet (that would be very interesting). It’s something that no one can really explain.</p>
<p>Well, life itself is a perception, yet each aspect that formulates it serves as a realistic belief. I’m not sure if there is an established destiny that each individual is inevitably susceptible to. I’d like to believe that we as individuals possess choices and the ability to undergo actions in an effort to acquire maximum utility. Ultimately though, I believe that love is a comprehension portrayed amongst two individuals.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Again, I’m confused by your use of the word love. Are you talking about the biological and emotional effect known as romantic attraction? If so, life without it would be quickly eliminated by natural selection.</p>
<p>Luckily, my life is worth more than, and not dependent on, whether some kid bats his eyes and makes my heart flutter.</p>
<p>My opinion: Love does not exist (atleast in the romantic sense)</p>
<p>not believing in love would be so sad. love is hope, plain and simple.</p>
<p>love is believing that that person will not hurt you or betray you.
love is hoping that everything will work out and believing that you are worthing or receiving the love and committment from another person.</p>
<p>love is beautiful and it is all around us, every day.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>WHAT? What do you live for? Biology? Come onnnnnnnnnnnnn. Love is the ONLY thing I live for.</p>
