Relationship love is difficult to define. How do you avoid confusing it with infatuation or lust? Philosophers and psychologists both have attempted to define love, or at least its difference from infatuation and lust. How can one truly define what love is? Not even an experienced person can truly grasp or explain love to its truest and deepest meaning. Its concepts are just a never ending story of an open book of experiences. But love does lie in one's heart, where memories are but shadows lingering in your soul.... to read more go to http://www.wikihow.com/Define-Love 
 Remember the old adage, a rotten apple in the basket can spoil other apples too? Well, this is what we all grew up learning, isn't it? Sorry, I began with an adage that brings about so much negativity in anyone’s eyes and thoughts. But stop! It can only be negative if your thoughts, word patterns and feelings make it be.
Now why do I say this? Hi, my name is Rohan Noronha, more popularly known as Satin across all my social networking sites. I am a thirty three year old, self-confident man from India. Today I would like to share a part of my life with you: A part which taught me how to spread love even in the darkest of times. Recently I had a very terrible break-up with my soul mate, and I really don’t know if we are meant to be or not, only time will tell. It is natural to think that after a break-up we would both harbour ill-feelings and resentment against one another. I don’t know about my soul mate, but for me I choose to send out only love. Why would I do this? Because I believe that love conquers all. I don't like to judge or assume anything, yet friends told me that my soul mate was a hypocrite; A "rotten apple". I am grateful for my friends who stood by me through my loss of my soul mate, especially when their words counselled and healed my emotional upheaval. Yet is this enough to erase all wounds? I would say write back to the one who you think has hurt you, cheated on you or lied to you. Let them know what you are going through, let them know how you feel, but do it with words and thoughts of love. In loss, there is always a battle from within, and human grieving is to not treat the "crime" with as much offence as a community would treat a criminal. Why throw that "rotten apple" into the bin? Instead, why not take it to fertile soil, where it has the opportunity of germinating with the earth: Where is has the opportunity to provide fodder for the organism of life. Isn't that a better way to make the "rotten apple" feel worthiness? Isn't that a better way to let go of your soul mate with love? Letting go of what you love with love, helps to prove that love conquers all. So, if you are reading this, know that you can get back to the people in your life who came and went, left you feeling hurt, sad, deprived and depressed, by using your own magical love from within to change it all. Two things happen when using love to let go. 1. You smile and love and they get annoyed and leave you alone; 2. You smile and love and they melt into realising their mistakes and the patch up is done. Using love to let go is a win-win situation because when love overpowers negative feelings, believe me nothing can shatter you down. If your soul mate isn't willing to communicate with you in any form or manner, use love to give them time and space. Turn to love to renew your own time and space in reflective contemplation and meditation of a past when the two of you would embrace, hug, love, make love or go crazy from seeing one another. Reflect on that and keep adding love fuel to make your feelings of renewal more powerful. When you turn powerful love thoughts into positive memories of a loving past, you are not only worthy of love, you become love. Who knows, that same person might come back to you, if it is meant to be. So my friends, before judging and evaluating an upsetting loss of a soul mate, remember the "rotten apple" can be given the opportunity of renewal through love by using your own magical love, because love conquers all. Love and Blessings. Satin.
what the world needs now is love sweet love  Love Sweet Love are the opening words to a popular ballad of a number of years ago. It expresses a desire that virtually everyone holds. But what is love? Judging by the commonly held understanding of "love," the world does not need any more of it! If what is happening in the world is evidence, it is very clear the world has only the foggiest of notions of what love is. If it does know, it is not doing it, or the song would not be making the statement of need. Love is a much abused term. Because of our experiences, we all have somewhat different ideas about it. The most prevalent notion in the Western world is that love is a warm, topsy-turvy feeling, a thrill one gets in the pit of the stomach or a tingle running up and down the spine. We think of it as a warm sense of regard, a strong desire to be with or be satisfied by someone or something. Some have equated it with caring, benevolent giving or nothing more than sheer emotionalism. On occasion, we use the term very casually and loosely. People express their "love" for the liturgy of a certain church. Some will say they just "love" ice cream, a certain beer, pizza, style of house, color, automobile, fashion, performer or team. People say they love an endless number of things. What some call "love" a theologian might call unbridled lust. But these statements become ridiculous once we begin to understand what biblical love is. People's "love" of something is merely an opinion, a preference. A preference is not love, and to use "love" in this way devalues it. To care about something is not love either. One can care to the point of obsession or lust. A measure of caring must be a part of true love, but by itself, that caring feeling or preference is not love.

However much we may want to, we can not command, demand, or disappear love, any more than we can command the moon and the stars and the wind and the rain to come and go according to our whims. We may have some limited ability to change the weather, but we do so at the risk of upsetting an ecological balance we don't fully understand. Similarly, we can stage a seduction or mount a courtship, but the result is more likely to be infatuation, or two illusions dancing together, than love.
Love is bigger than you are. You can invite love, but you cannot dictate how, when, and where love expresses itself. You can choose to surrender to love, or not, but in the end love strikes like lightening, unpredictable and irrefutable. You can even find yourself loving people you don't like at all. Love does not come with conditions, stipulations, addendum, or codes. Like the sun, love radiates independently of our fears and desires. Love is inherently free. It cannot be bought, sold, or traded. You cannot make someone love you, nor can you prevent it, for any amount of money. Love cannot be imprisoned nor can it be legislated. Love is not a substance, not a commodity, nor even a marketable power source. Love has no territory, no borders, no quantifiable mass or energy output. One can buy loyalty, companionship, attention, perhaps even compassion, but love itself cannot be bought. Love cannot be turned on as a reward. It cannot be turned off as a punishment. Only something else pretending to be love can be used as a lure, as a hook, for bait and switch, imitated, insinuated, but the real deal can never be delivered if it doesn't spring freely from the heart. Love cares what becomes of you because love knows that we are all interconnected. Love is inherently compassionate and empathic. Love knows that the "other" is also oneself. This is the true nature of love and love itself can not be manipulated or restrained. Love honours the sovereignty of each soul. Love is its own law.
