Love has no definition and no right answer. It is not known if it is universal and unchanging.
Love may be a deceptive term to dress up human desires.
Sexual desire, self-preservation, self-gratification, desire for approval, desire for control, desire for self-expression...
Some parents expect so much from their own children that they cause them to suffer.
Some couples pledge eternal love and one day return to being strangers.
You may want their partner so much that they become jealous and constrained.
In order to protect their loved ones, they shed blood on the battlefield and take someone else's life.
What is love? Does the free love we thought was innocent and pure really exist?
Is the love you think is really love? Even if it is love for the giver, it may not be it for the receiver. Love does not exist unless the receiver also recognises it as love.
You want to see my loved ones smile and make them happy. Even that may be a desire to satisfy yourself.
But even if love is empty, if our hearts are satisfied by believing it to be love, you can feel happy.
Depending on how you look at it, the world can change.
Love may be just one piece of it.
