Monday Oct. 19th What is Love? According to Webster’s dictionary the word love is described as a strong‚ positive emotion of regard and affection.

Love and hate are two powerful and intense emotions that define humankind. Both emotions are independently defined as opposites but are almost compatible in terms of how they make one feel. Love and hate are also dependent emotions‚ you feel one because of the other. They are like two halves of a whole‚ one cannot exist without the other. Hate is the absence of love. We love to hate but hate to love. Love and hate are not as complicated as people make them out to be but they have different levels

Most people could agree that all have been in some sort of love over the course of their lifetime. As a relationship is built off the love for one another‚ what is to be done if you are in love with one who has less than admiral feelings for you in return for your very best.

LOVE OR JUST LUST Romeo and Juliet is shown as a great “love” story by Shakespeare‚ but in my opinion it is clearly set up as a story of “lust” .
