Love is Love!
Open your mouth to say anything about "Love" and you immediately fall into error.

The love that's opposite of hate is not Love.

While this wouldn't be my answer, I can appreciate where you're going with this. Yes.

Even without experiencing hate, I knew (not in words) what love is resting in the lap of my mother.
If you need to experience hate to know love, it's not real love (is what I meant to say in my earlier post).
Real Love is Only Love -- Unconditionally (even towards those who hate you). So I believe.
Thank you.
To me, Love is Everything, the most important thing, the only thing, IMO, that made my life worth living. The heights of joy and depths of despair come with it though; no way out of that once you open yourself to Love.

Most of us, especially the young adults...mistakenly think lust is love! I have lusted for many but only loved one of them. We have been married over 50 years...and yes, the lust is still there...! The challenge is to learn how to recognize the difference...

Can we not love lust? Cannot love last for merely a moment? Cannot they be one and same?

Has anyone ever seen Love?
Sure, many see the manifestations of love everywhere. But what cannot be seen cannot be defined.

Something everyone should experience as both receiver and giver. So many forms of love tho most seem to think of romantic love as the default model being asked about.

That is true of all abstract nouns. We cannot define joy but we know it when we see it. The same is true of love - we recognise it when we feel it. The trouble with love is that we only have one word in English for it.
The Greeks have several -
The Greek words for love and their meanings are:
- Agape: brotherly love, charity, the love of God for person and of person for God
- Eros: sexual passion, carnal love, fertility
- Philia: affectionate regard, friendship, usually between equals
- Storge: love, affection, especially of parents and children
- Ludus: playful love, flirting, teasing

We really don't know love, joy, peace. silence, bliss, etc., but we make them conceptual (amenable to thinking). But they are outside of the mind. Felt. yes. Definable, no.

Maybe everyone should be bathed in love, spoiled rotten. If that were so, our problems might evaporate.
