St. Valentine day questions

[Deleted]

So, it'll soon be Valentines day again. I hope you all have someone you love to celebrate this day with.

I want to ask though: What is love? Why do we fall in love with certain people (sometimes instantly), and yet with others there is so spark at all? Is it something in our memories that holds the key? A combination of things that suddenly seem to come together in that one person?

Any thoughts on this?

The word 'love' cannot be easily defined in the English language. The Japanese have many different words and characters for 'love'....there is selfish love and there is giving love, love of the heart, love of the mind and endless permutations. As I'm in a hurry to go out I'll come back to you on this question
