The wonder of love, discovering what it really means

Love is a powerful emotion that is capable of changing and affecting our lives in innumerable ways. It can fill us with joy and hope, making life worth living, or can be the cause of immense suffering, resulting from unrequited or unfulfilled love. Love can bring people together, or it can be a source of distance, contention and hurt. Love can make us take risks, or stay complacent and secure. Ultimately, it is impossible to definitively answer the question of “what is love”; it is something that needs to be experienced, interpreted, and understood in its own unique way. No two people will ever have the same understanding of what love is, which is perhaps one of its greatest strengths.
