Love

Love is a complicated thing; It can start out as lusting after appearance or infatuation or adoration, yet can evolve into real love if two people continue to make the effort to make progress in getting to understand each other.

Love is a feeling that eats away at us if we don't have healthy self-esteem and the one we love isn't honest with us or with themselves.

Infatuation is like having a crush and ignoring the person's flaws and acting dreamy
Lust is where you mainly go after a person for their body
Love is where you accept a person for who they are, regardless of flaws, personality, or interests

Loveful

(Adj.) Literally, it means 'full of love.' The opposite of this is clearly 'hateful.' To better understand the term you must not be a hateful hatemonger like SOME people. (::points around the room::) huh!? Huh!? Yeah! That's right. ...'Loveful' was coined between Massachusetts and Rhode Island during a mid-day phone call.

me: You are so loveful. I wish I could be as naturally loveful as you.
mj: Seriously, you hateful bastard. Here's to not being a winner every day! ...hateful!

love

"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another is conditional to your own." Robert Heinlein from the novel "Stranger in a Strange Land" (1961)

I prefer saying "Love is that condition whereby the happiness of another is essential to your own."

I have yet to see any better definition, and I have been applying this one as an basic test for over 30 years. The definition works.

Basic tests:
1. If another is unhappy and you are happy, you do not love them.
2. If another is unhappy and you cannot be happy because of that, you love them.
3. If you love someone who is happy, you CAN be happy, but your happiness is not essential, important, or required.
