What does it mean to love?
-
Some people would argue that there are more types of love, I would disagree. Love is a virtue. Ludus would be seen as an "uncommitted love", and if you aren't committed, than the sacrifice isn't truly there. Pragma is riddled with self interest and what you want in the long run. Philiautia is seen as "self-love". However, this often doesn't involve that sacrifice and can lead to pride, a vice and a deadly sin. While good self-esteem is important, by being humble, you are showing agape by sacrificing to do the will of a greater being.

What is love??? Sorry I couldn't resist.
Love is a word, society gives it meaning, so the way it is used now "I love pizza" is how the word love is defined. It can mean other things to, I can say I love my wife if she existed, and I can say I love pizza. People know the difference, they don't think I equally love my nonexistent wife and pizza. It can be an everyday vernacular to describe that you like things.

What you are asking is a philosophical question that has been asked for thousands of years.
there is no answer to the question( as with the what is the meaning of life question) only how you answer it and what it means to you.and your answer will change over time

I disagree with this. It’s also possible to misuse words, and I feel like people misuse and try to redefine words too frequently.

Oh, is that what you call it? Must be a local thing.

A person can learn more about love by just living and becoming older than by reading any book.

I would disagree and say that both knowledge and experience can go hand and hand.

My point is that if you spend too much time attempting to label a feeling you can miss out on how it feels.
