Even the Oxford dictionary doesn\u2019t have just one meaning of love. Phew! So how must I figure out what love is? No, Google doesn\u2019t help either!!!<br \/>\nI always found love confusing and in the ardour to understand what love is, I decided to speak to few folks around me and perhaps should share what it means to them. Here it goes!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Romantic euphoria<\/li>\n<li>Self-destruction<\/li>\n<li>Lust<\/li>\n<li>Commitment<\/li>\n<li>Combination of butterflies &amp; comfort zone<\/li>\n<li>Physical &amp; emotional closeness<\/li>\n<li>Complete understanding<\/li>\n<li>Growing old with your partner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>After understanding the psyche of people in their mid-20\u2019s,<\/b>\u00a0I realised that everyone defined love based on the relationships they have had and the experiences they have gone through while dating someone. However, did you ever wonder that love could be beyond the romantic context?<br \/>\nInterestingly, the\u00a0<b>first thought about love was associated with being romantically involved with their partner<\/b>. I wonder why that happens but it\u2019s fascinating to see how we end up thinking alike at a certain age, about an expression and feeling as pure as love.<br \/>\nWhile as a kid, one might have a completely different perspective on love; it\u2019s certain that as we age, it dawns on us that love is abstract and it is extended in small actions we perform every day.<br \/>\n<b>Love beyond the romantic context<\/b><br \/>\nSitting with your friend on the swing and discussing life, cuddling with your pet, hugging your mom before going off to sleep, sharing your deepest secrets with someone, playing with your kid or chasing your passion are all various forms of expressing and experiencing love.<br \/>\n<b>\u2026and some of my friends quoted love very beautifully<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>\u201cLove is allowing yourself &#8211; and those you care about &#8211; room to grow and soar. It is finding your joy, and living it, every day. It is taking care of yourself, because only then can you take care of those you love.

I don&#8217;t experience that brand of love anymore. My wife and I have been together for ten years and have two kids, and the exhilaration and newness that we once experienced has been replaced by familiarity and extraordinary responsibility. For love to exist and endure, the people closest to you find a way to empathize with, forgive and embrace your imperfection constantly. As unromantic as some aspects of an enduring love are, it feels far more gratifying for me to be loved in this way. That said, I have the most exceptional wife in the world so my worldview could be completely skewed by her brilliance. ;)\u201d &#8211;\u00a0<\/i>Jim Dougherty<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trulymadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/jim.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-934\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trulymadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/jim.png?resize=510%2C340\" alt=\"jim\" width=\"510\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trulymadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/jim.png?w=510&amp;ssl=1 510w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trulymadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/jim.png?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trulymadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/jim.png?resize=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trulymadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/jim.png?resize=367%2C245&amp;ssl=1 367w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>&#8220;Love is putting yourself in your partner\u2019s shoes and understanding what bond most comforts them, inversely accepting the person they are, because if you try to change them as per your likes then you&#8217;d be loving yourself and not them&#8221; &#8211;\u00a0<\/i>Anish Quenim<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trulymadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/anish.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-935\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trulymadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/anish.png?resize=444%2C323\" alt=\"anish\" width=\"444\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trulymadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/anish.png?w=444&amp;ssl=1 444w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trulymadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/anish.png?resize=300%2C218&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trulymadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/anish.png?resize=400%2C291&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trulymadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/anish.png?resize=367%2C267&amp;ssl=1 367w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All of these different kinds of love and relationships have similar meaning but have a little something different to be unique.<br \/>\nAccording to many philosophers, the only aim of life is to be happy.
