Love has
many meanings.
It can mean an intense feeling of
affection, an emotion or emotional state. Interpersonal
love is love between human beings, and is more sympathetic
than the notion of very much liking for another.
Although feelings are usually reciprocal, there
can also be unrequited love. Interpersonal love
is usually found in an interpersonal relationship
, such as between family members, friends, and couples.
However, people often express love for other people
outside of these relationships through compassionate
outreach and volunteering.
A
person can be said to love a home, country, a
principle, goal, job, or hobby if they value it
greatly and are deeply committed to it. People
can also 'love' material objects, animals, or
activities if they invest themselves in bonding
their identity with that item. |
