How would you describe love? And how would you react to it?



When it comes to love, which of course is such an everlasting topic to discuss, if I can be truly honest to myself the more I grow, the more I experience life, after falling in love, falling out of love, asking about love itself, searching for love, not believing in love, then believing in love once again. After all that, the more sure I am that what i’m feeling right now is not love.
I’m desiring yes, I’m attached yes, I’m afraid yes but is that love? Is love attachment? is love fear? or is love something more that transcends this. Do you love someone because they love you back? Can you love without being given love? Is there jealousy in love? Isn’t jealousy a sign of ownership? Is love then all just about owning? Like owning an object?
Is that real love? Is love just then about your own personal security?
And if love is just a mere emotion, won’t it disappear like any other emotions? As all emotions are impermanent and transitory?
I really don’t know anonymous but if you ask me why am I still in a relationship now, it’s because both of us acknowledge this problem of love and we’re both looking for the answer together. Life is harsh, happiness is just right around the corner, but so is sadness. And life with all its tribulations and elations is much easier to handle when you have someone going in the same direction.
So for now i’m not asking anymore than that.
"If you don’t know what to do, you do nothing, don’t you? Absolutely nothing. Then inwardly you are completely silent. Do you understand what that means? It means that you are not seeking, not wanting, not pursuing; there is no centre at all. Then there is love. " - Jiddu Krishnamurti
