What is Love?

What is Love? The definition of love is a variety of emotions that are related to experiences that create a strong feeling of attachment and affection towards a person or thing.
I think love is taken for granted by this generation. Everything in today’s society has been made to make our life easier and simpler and in so doing, made us lazy. Back in our grandparent’s time, if you married, it was for life because divorce wasn’t easy back then. So that made people try harder within a marriage, and it also made people more cautious about getting married. They made sure they were absolutely in love with that other person before making the leap to sharing the rest of their life with that person. I have even heard that some preachers would not perform a ceremony until completely positive that the couples were in love and willing to try and make a marriage work. Now a days, you can flip open a phone book and a find a divorce lawyer, it’s that easy. Same with marriages; just run down to the local courthouse, pay money, say a couple words, sign papers and viola! You’re married. I think we use the word love too loosely in this day and age. I go into a chat room occasionally and there are guys there that tell me they love me without even meeting me. They think that if they say that “L” word, they can get me to do whatever they want. You will very rarely hear me say that I love someone because it is a precious word to not be used lightly. I tell only those people that I care so much for that I would die for them, that I love them. And that is how it should be. That should also be how you feel when you get married. You should love that person so much that you just can’t imagine life without them, and you would die for them. I wonder how many married people out there, truly feel that way about their spouse?
I feel like our society is deteriorating even though we seem to be making so many progressions in technology. All of these advancements are making us more “me” focused. We are a completely selfish people now. Whatever happened to the Knights of the Round Table? Men back in those times would sacrifice their lives for their country and their family. They had honor. One example is Sir William Wallace of Scotland. You should really watch Braveheart. It is a heart wrenching story of a man and his people that fight for love, honor and their country. If you watch this movie, you will see what love is. Love is such an elusive emotion; it really can’t be defined by words but more by actions.
To me, Sir William Wallace and his kinsmen were REAL men. Call me a romantic fool if you will, but it’s true. How many men today would do what he did?
