What is love?
 
Why do we love?
What causes us to love?
What is love?
Is it all just electrochemical impulses and neurons firing in our brains?

1cor13 gives us characteristics of love.

The Bible says GOD is Love.

Why do we love?

Re: What is love?
 
Wikipedia says.......

Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection.[1] The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my girlfriend"). This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love[2] to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love.[3] Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.

You know what unconditional love is because God has that for YOU!

Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say LOVE it is a HUNGER - an endless aching need..
but I say love - it is a flower - and you its only seed

When the night has been so lonely,
And the road has been too long.
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong...
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snow...
lies a seed - that with the suns love,
In the Spring...becomes a rose.

It is, but we have to have unconditional love in our lives too!
