What is love? Is it necessity or luxury? Is it something everyone needs or something exclusive to some? Is it the ultimate answer to being alone? Is it any close to "killing the loneliness", as put by a poet? Why is it attached to loneliness so often? And why do we often talk about being lonely when the fact that having someone to talk about this indicates that we are not so. What makes us lonely within a crowd surrounding us? What is missing? Love?
What is love then? Can you put boundaries around it? Can you capture and preserve it? Or it captures and preserves you? Can you save a human being? Against other humans? Against himself? Against herself? Against yourself? The easiest might be the first but that would not be to say it's easy. Did love save you anytime in your life? Did you save love anytime before? Did you spend love? How can you save or spend something you cannot possess?
Love is a feeling ... that changes your perceptions, the way you think and even the way you behave. But that change does not define love, cause no change can mean anything without calming down. Those who associate change with love (mainly girls - by definition easily get carried over with emotional changes of greater magnitudes) quite often accept that love decays in time and ends (and transforms into some other kind of love without affection). Convenient in itself, but not true.
Love never decays. Change decays and people who do so, change less and lesser each day. Then change ends. When that change ends, people who are not happy with who they are, wonder where their love's gone. People who are happy to be who they have become, enjoy the eternal love. Cause love never ends or turn into some other love. What people think of love, does not affect love, the universal feeling, itself. Otherwise people would stop loving each other due to some other broken hearted people. Given that it's everywhere, we can know that it's free and could not be possessed.
It's a feeling between people, composed of trust, respect and affection. An eternal desire to coordinate, so the elements of is, humans can become the people they prefer to be. And even though its much confused with the need for security, it's not fighting against loneliness but creating hope ... for a better future and for better ourselves.
Love is not what keeps mankind alive in that sense, but what makes humankind stronger than anything else in the universe.
