Love

Love is the most powerful of emotions. We do not realize that love permeates every aspect of our lives - if we allow it to. We tend to think that it only affects our primary relationships or our kids but it also affects our work. To change this economy, we have to begin to love what we do and transform the marketplace. Love is what is needed in business. Loving your job, loving your customers, loving your product or your service. As we infuse our businesses with love, we in turn provide the marketplace with value.

the elixir of life

Love is not an emotion or a feeling, it is an act of will. It does create emotions and feelings though.

The best one on this list.

What feeling can top love. There is no emotion out there that makes and at the same time makes no sense simulteniously. You feel happy, elated, hopeful, greatful, etc... Something that we all want!

i love LOVE!!! so much soul in their songs

Excellent band, better and more consistent than The Doors IMO, and that's not a knock on The Doors. Forever Changes is one of the greatest discs ever, and the band had many, many other great songs. Da Capo, their 2nd is almost as good, except for the boring, meandering, sidelong "Revelation." This act had only one top 40 hit, the incredible " 7 and 7 Is," plus a few minor hits, all 6 of their albums charted, though none were huge sellers. Arthur Lee, at his peak, was one of the quirkiest, greatest, and most unique lyricists ever, and like Moby Grape, this act should've been huge. It's partly their own fault they weren't, they didn't really tour outside of California until it was too late, drug problems plagued the band, they were one of the first racially integrated rock bands which probably pissed off a lot of people, and Lee's massive ego got in the way sometimes. Then again, what's often overlooked about the 60's is that there were a LOT of squares more interested in buying Herb Alp... Read more

One of the really cool things about the sixties was the fact that the genre that the writers dubbed as "Rock" could and did include an eclectic variety of styles that often defied description. Love was a band that had this quality in spades. The combination of talents which included guitarist/singer-songwriters Bryan Maclean and the enigmatic, but often incredible and inspired Arthur Lee produced some of the most colorful and interesting music ever recorded. There was no way to pigeon-hole this band and it's fans (including members of lesser, but far more popular acts) were both numerous and greatly devoted. When a band's major talent is as unpredictable and sometimes unreliable as is the aforementioned Lee, this is not always easy. I sometimes wonder if this is the character that Jim Morrison was attempting to imitate when he appeared in his often uncongenial states that are so well documented. The upside is the music. And what strange, thought provoking music it was. 1967 has been w... Read more

love is caring,gentle, and unconditional. its a feeling that consumes your whole being.thats how i feel for my children. it is always there even when i am mad at them.

Love, this is what makes the world go around, baby!

Love is the greatest emotion because it not only the sweetest emotion, it also has amazing effects. It can heal a person, even physically prolonging their life. Infact, love is the greatest gift you can recieve. The nature of love is, it keeps no records of something wrong, it believes the best about a person, it is quick to listen and forgive yet slow to judge, it is selfless, it is kind, patient, peace loving, it is not arrogent, slow to anger and has been the power source for the most heroric acts. Eg Jesus getting Himself killed so that if we simply believe in Him, we will enter His Kingdom, or a parent running into a burning house to save their children. Love is the making of a hero. Other emotions like compassion, mercy, forgiveness are branches of love. Without love, if there was a world disaster, no one would give a dam. Without love, we would also eliminate compassion, grace, hatred for evilness and wrongs in our society, marriage. We were created to be love and to be... Read more

I'd have to say that I really hate love. It's very complicated and unreliable. I take it very seriously. I don't believe in love at first sight. The only people I love is God, Jesus, and most of my family. I don't like the idea of loving another person and getting married, kids, etc. because it never lasts. Love is great for people who can find it, but it comes with a price. That's why I don't want to have anything to do with it.

I've come to question the romantic part, but who knows?

How could LOVE be number 3?! Maybe you never experienced the real thing.I hope,for your sake,you do!

Loveis amazing, although I'm not old enough to experience love between boyfriend/girlfriend/. Love is also complicated. I'm 15, and I'm not claiming to be an expert, but being in love, or in like in my case, usually ends up in pain, but it's really nice while it lasts.

Well love certainly is a very special emotion that can be very difficult to maintain and comes in all different forms. For example, my relationship between me and my wife is extrodinarily dry but we know we love each other. It's important for people to remember that love can come in all packages but when you discover it- it's unreplacable.

Love, I feel, is the bond that brings humans together in unity. This is the gift that God gave us that separates us from the animal kingdom, and this is the gift that brings us together. I'm still learning about Christianity, but I feel God has a purpose for people-- as condemned as we are. What drives this purpose has to be love. Take for example a teenager who wrecked his car with another and is badly hurt, bleeding in fact from his head. A couple pull over, sense something is wrong, and immediately dial for help. The quickness of the ambulance drivers and the efficency of the ER doctors that come after this further enhance my point. It is not just the job that these people are assigned to do. They do this to help the people, they do this to make sure they are relieved of pain, they do this out of their love for the afflicted people. Another example: a girl has been dumped by her boyfriend. Her father comes in and sets her down to talk with reassuring comments and sets stra... Read more

I love my family, my job, my pets, my sports teams and poor people. Otherwise, I'm not that loveable.

Ah love sweet love. It's what Jesus wanted us all to embrace. I'm no religious zealot but what beats love. It's a highly complex emotion which in it's pure form is what heaven must be like. If you cannot love others than you surely do not love yourself.

i feel this for my wife, my cats, and a good book. nothing else.

Solenoid, one of the wisest people I know told me exactly what you just said. Our pastor, when we went for our pre-marriage counseling gave us three Cs for a successful marriage. Communication, Cooperation, and Commitment. He said You have to not only, choose to get married on your wedding day, but every day after that as well. If you cant do that, your marriage will inevitably fail. I think he was pretty much on the mark. A couple of years later, a farmer told me in simpler terms his three rules. 1. Be nice. Always say youre sorry. 2. Admit when youre wrong. 3. Never give up. I didnt think about it at the time, but he was telling me the same thing as our pastor, just using different words. As for my wife and I, we dont always experience the euphoria that once was, but we are completely committed to each other. I have experienced only six months of marriage so far, but if there is anything that I can count on, its our relationship.

The greatest emotion we are given. Love is often the basis for other positive emotions.

Without love in your life, whether it be love for God, family or a least a pet; then I believe there has to be a void. This void/ emptiness is very sad and the hope of fulfillment lies within the individual.

This word embarasses a lot of people. Even many spouses don't like to say I love you to the one they're married to. Probably the main reason is because Love is considered primarily an emotion (which is how it is listed here). And emotions are very personal, especially when you're growing up and going through all kinds of changes. Another problem is that emotions tend to ebb and flow. This is often why marriages break up. Two people discover that they don't feel the same today as they did last week, so they must not be in love anymore. But REAL love is not primarily an emotion. It's a commitment one person makes to another. Even God didn't emotionally like the world that He saw. It says in John 3:16 that He LOVED the world - He HATED what He saw, but He committed Himself to saving and healing the world. My wife and I don't always feel romantic toward each other, but we're totally committed to each other. I'll take that over the roller coaster of emotions any day.

I think it's the only way to be serene and excited at the same time. Difficult, if not impossible, to describe.
