Definition of love

[Axiomaly]

This is not the topic I imagined offering my first thoughts on in this wonderful group. Extremely profound topic, and I have the highest respect for everyone's opinion on the matter.


So, taking a risk, I offer this...


In giving what follows I'm radically simplifying/condensing all that love is down to something 'universally operational'.. putting it (love) under the 'metaphysical microscope' for the sake of a simpler, yet no less profound perspective...


Before I state it, though, I want to say that what I'm writing is definitely a condensed language form summation of something more profound than words can give any real meaning to... Nevertheless...

It is with simple words that i invite conception and consideration of Love in a more 'Universally Functional' manner...

...

Love is 'Willing Communication'

...

I'll expand with some 'qualifiers' while remaining as simple as the statement above, not opening it up too much more:


- When you Love something you want to give of yourself to it.

- When you Love something your Will/intention tends towards a focus upon the wellbeing of the 'other' thing (in the given context).

- If we are Mind/Consciousness, then our most precious/unique resource is our 'Selves'.. and so to Love something is to give of our Selves, selflessly - to pass on the best essence of one's Self in the most selfless manner.

....


And so, Loving communication, as I see it, binds us as we grow forth from the best aspect of the person/idea before us, inspired to be the best version/iteration of ourselves in any moment. Someone/thing who can then do the same for the benefit of (an)other and the All... and so on...

.........

When I think of Love in this way I see it (Love) as, quite practically, the metaphysical glue that binds and builds the Universe/Everything.
