Commentary: The lack of a definition for love

There are some people who believe love's seasonal, others who believe love's unconditional, and another group who vehemently feels that love is an evolutionary adaptation. These group of people think that love does not 'really' exist but is a mere evolutionary adaptation to help us with our survival.

What is love? Can it be defined?

Perhaps, love has no definition. Maybe I should rephrase that by saying that love has no true overall standard definition. In discussing a plausible definition for love, I feel that there are 'parts' to the definition of love that vary on each person. As a result, it's unique for every individual while holding other parts that are standard for everyone.

The standard part holds a common universal acceptance:

I only think that we all can agree on one thing, that love is serious.

Everything else is introspective.

So therefore, how can one truly define it? In the average dictionary there are over ten entries that define love.

I find that our beliefs are based on our own experiences, which is why many people have their own ideas of what love is. It is because of this that I feel that there is no 'one' definition for love.

Love is an experiment that yields results that cannot be measured- there's an error with this. It's a failed experiment, its results are entirely based on introspection- Ebokosia

How can anyone disprove another individuals feelings on love? I dare you to say he does not know what love is or she has no inkling because she is far too young. Love is not objective it's subjective so therefore how can you define it  for everyone else?
