Question: Why do people ask about love as if it were a carton of milk!?
People ask "Isn't love everything" like the word didn't have 5000 meanings and almost everyone's experiences are different from each others!. Who told everyone that love was boy meets girl boy marries girl, generations ensue!?
Philanthropy, abuse, friendship, delusions, fantasies, boring decades of habit, ancestor worship, good penmanship, pets, hunting, shaking hands on the campaign trail; all of these can be love, and they are the tiniest tip of the iceberg!.
What if someone answered all their questions as if they asked, "Isn't playful interaction everything!?" Playful interaction is one of the definitions of love, so why not!?
Or maybe I am expecting intelligence from the wrong source!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You're question is pompous, as well as your remark about expecting intelligence from the wrong source!.
When I say "love is everything" that doesn't mean I am speaking about a specific formula!. Why are you assuming that people are not as enlightened as to the various context and meanings of the word love!?
Or maybe I'm expecting a reasonable answer from the wrong source!.
By the way, intelligence also has many context, levels, meanings, outcome, and variations!. So!.!.!.!.why are you expecting intelligence to be that of your egotistical one!?

To answer the latter question of what I meant by not using one formula I was responding to your indication that this is the one formula of love that people know:
"Who told everyone that love was boy meets girl boy marries girl, generations ensue!?"
I never got that memo!. That is not the formula for the love I conceptualize, experience, tether on!. Is love a concept!? Emotion!? Action!? All!. Depends on the situation/type of love it is!. What context!?
What maturity!? What formula(s)!? Emotional!? Spiritual!? Material!? Sinful!?
As far as cleaner vs!. comet!.!.!.!.I much prefer the generic brands!.
And if you are going to be so analytical of the subjectivity of love, than you should apply the same to intelligence!.
Who told everyone that intelligence means boy posts dribble, boy is egotistical of dribble, generations of boys dribble ensue!?
PS!.!.!.!. I love you!Www@QuestionHome@Com
For generations the meanings of love have been collected and packaged for our convenience to save us the time of search our self!. and in so doing, time was saved and spent on other activities such as the selling of our labors or dream scaping!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
"Love"'has become a household commodity,unfortunately!.Everyone references it in their own particular way,usually from a selfish view point!.What is one mans treasure is another mans junk!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
People are not that intelligent and they try to glean the meaning of love from Phil Collins (Satan) or Elton John songs!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I haven't seen anyone ask questions about cartons of milk!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
This is deep!.!.
people don't think that far into things, and it is unfortunate!.
I am tired of questions like "what's love" or "does he like me" or "am I pregnant!?" or my new favorite: "when will I get my stimulus check!?"
Don't these people believe that there may be a better place than Yahoo! Answers to tell them what they need to know!?
Love is what you think it is, he likes you if you ask him and he says yes!.!.!. you are pregnant if the rabbit dies, if the test comes back positive, and you can get your stimulus check when the IRS decides to send it, and the parameters are listed on www!.irs!.gov!.
Obama is not the devil, and McCain is not GWBush Jr!. Neither person can control the country, and campaign promises are just that--promises!.!.!. because CONGRESS and not the President has the full power to make or break a law!.!.!.
The world is full of stupid questions and no amount of intelligent answers will ever get everyone to sink in the answers!.
As for intelligence, Yahoo! Answers may not be the best place to find a lot of it!. Some try so hard, some are very interested in giving their very best answer, then there are those who are looking for 2 quick points by answering a question they did not really read!.
What is love!? It is everything to everyone!. It is those things you mention and more!.!.!. it is the sky, it is the birds and the children that we hear every day, it is the sun that keeps coming back to shine on us, and the gravity that keeps us from floating away!.!.!. It is the tingle when your significant other touches you, and it is the tingle of a perfectly fine stranger who opens the door for you!.!.!.!.
So, "Isn't love everything" is a good summation!.!.!. it is isn't it!?
