For centuries, love has been a favourite subject of philosophers, poets, authors, and scientists, and various individuals and groups have often battled over its meaning.A mixture of emotions, attitudes , and beliefs that are correlated with strong feelings of love, security, warmth, and reverence for another person.Love can differ from individual to individual and culture to culture.
It can be difficult to tell the difference between love and lust especially in the early stages of a relationship. Both are synonymous with physical attraction and an intoxicating rush of hormones that feel pleasant, combined with an urge to be closer to another person that is sometimes daunting, but only one is long-lasting: love.Most people believe that love plays a major role in both physical and emotional well-being.
