LOVE

The word that I am choosing for the definition argument is love. I am choosing to define love because, to me love is one of the most important things in life. My definition of the word love, is when someone or something matters so much to you that you are willing to put everything on the line, including your life, in order for that person or thing to have whatever is necessary. Love is irrational, and often stupid, but when you loves something nothing else matters to you, except that.I think the word love is way overused in today's society and that is part of the reason that it is so hard to define what love really is. People say they love TV, or video games, or a drink, practically anything that is, is said to be loved by someone and to me that's not really what love is. Love is an action that comes from the heart.

Love is however a very controversial thing. This is because love is taught at a young age and people never really learn what it truly means to be loved. An example of this is a young child who says that they love their parents even though they beat him or her. That is not love, but people do not know how to classify it. Some sources that I could use for my paper as to what love is would be songs or movies. Love is a very popular subject in the world and I think that it would make for an interesting paper.

I think you're right when you talk about love because no one can really define it. Everyone has their own opinion but how can they really know? It is easy for someone to say I love you even if they don't mean it but you might want to explain how different cultures view love. It might be that a parent will hit their child and the child still love them, but what if the child was never really taught love? What if the child thinks that is love? You could also look at different ways to show love, because love isn't a material thing you can hold it's something you feel. So how can anyone know that they are all feeling the same thing....

I like your topic and I agree with you that love isn't to love a material thing but a person or people. But don't forget that love can be shown in many differnt ways and not only to people but to their faith which is God and Jesus Christ. Good Luck!

I agree with you definition of love for a person, however, how do you know that the person saying that they love something other than a person doesnt really truly love it? For example, I love the tv show Nip/Tuck. I can say this because no matter what I watched every new episode, I have seen every episode at least once and have just recently began to watch the series again from Season one on Netflix. I was devoted to the show and I made sure that I watched everyone. Doesn't this fit your definition?

I agree with you that Love will make an interesting paper. It's good because nobody can truly define what love is because its something all people feel (hopefully) and like my word, faith, nobody can prove its there but we know it is. This should be a good paper. I like your definition and you could bring into it how some people love differently maybe some people think love as sexual where some think its more, you could even go into love maybe as far as gay people. you can use love and describe how the world percieves it. Very good!
