What are the first few things you think about that can finish the sentence "Love is..."

I'm not asking for a definition (I know there are a few threads about the definition, but this isn't the same thing). I'm just asking for something simple that you associated with love. Not "true love" or "in love" or whatever. Just ..Love. Simple as that...

For me, the first few things that come to my mind are:

"Love is not having to say you're sorry" Yeah. That quote from "Love Story" always gets me. I heart it.

"Love is unconditional" When you love somebody, you don't expect them to do anything for you in return or love you back no matter what.

"Love is patient, Love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast,... "

I agree with you to an extent, but you kind of have to see the quote in context, because it's pretty touching.

The couple is fighting and the girl runs out of the house. After realizing that he was being irrational, the guy runs after her and looks for her all night. When he can't find her, he goes home and sees her sitting on the front porch, crying. Then, he goes to her and is all "I'm so sorry..." and she hushes him and says "Love is not having to say you're sorry."

Basically, ... in any "everyday" relationship, when you hurt somebody, they expect you to apologize, and many times, you do. Friends, teachers, peers, etc. always seem to want you to admit you're wrong and you feel that you need to tell them that you're sorry (whether you are or not) in order for your relationship to move on. But when you love somebody, you don't expect a sorry and you don't need them to say sorry... you keep loving them. It kind of shows that love is so strong that it surpasses pride issues and the petty nature of most people to always be in the right.

The theme of "Love is not having to say you're sorry" comes back when the girl dies (you learn that she dies in the first line of the story so no, I'm not ruining anything) and the guy's father goes to see him. His father apologizes for not supporting them and for not being there for him when he needed him most, but he stops him and tells his father that he didn't need to tell him that he was sorry. It's a touching scene in the book and in the movie... it made me cry pinch.gif

Anyways... for anybody who hasn't read the book "Love Story," by Erich Segal, I'd highly recommend it. The movie is kind of old, but it's worth a watch.
