We can find many definitions of love. Here is but two of them: a deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness; a feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.

Wherever we are love is on the air especially when its Valentines day. But still until now there is not distinct and uniform definition of love. We can only describe it. The most easy of all is – love is love. But what is love for me? Can it transgress death? Does everyone experience it? Can I reject it? Is there a need for it? These are just some of the questions that come to our minds when we think deeply of love.

Love has its misconceptions as discussed in our lessons. We can equate love to sex and romance or even love as a means to possession. This is not the nature of love. It is about giving one’s self and finding that self with another. Once I heard my teacher in another subject say that love is a competition. It is a way to show your partner how best you can give yourself to him/her.

Some may say that love is physical. That love is only a response to another whom the agent feels physically attracted to. Accordingly, the action of loving encompasses a broad range of behaviour including caring, listening, attending to, preferring to others, and so on. This is what the behaviourist say in psychology. Those who consider love to be an aesthetic response would hold that love is knowable through the emotional and conscious feeling it provokes yet which cannot perhaps be captured in rational or descriptive language: it is instead to be captured, as far as that is possible, by metaphor or by music. That is why some people say that they are in love with their craft of trade.

But what about love that is considered taboo. Is it possible? Is it ethical?

When it comes to this, we always ask the question should we do it or not. Is it the appropriate action. In times where our society is constantly bombarded with new ideas…we can only grasp little understanding of it. For me, any relationship is a viable one as long as love is in the air…as long as it is a meaningful relationship. If society reprimands you then fight it... it is your life and not allowing you to exercise what you feel destroys human freedom which is in us all.
