What is Love?

I love this Panda
As this blog is called fearlovehate.com I think maybe I should address the issue of Love as I seem to be always talking about it, or hoping for it to happen or whatever.
I know what attraction is, but that, of itself, is surely not love.
What is this thing called love? as the question so often goes.
I look at my parents and family and know this is love, but I would not be at all impressed if the love of my life behaved like my brothers at times. Life seems to be full of problems and I wonder if love truly exists, is it the heady stuff or the stuff that lets you get through each day reasonably unscathed, does it vary throughout life or does it stay the same.
Love of one's children seems entirely different, not that I have any, and even love of animals seems different again, I know just how much I love Tinkerbelle and how much she loves me.
Jim, I really like him and we are attracted and yet there are those doubts, I think perhaps it's easier if one gets married very young in the flush of youth and love and doesn't ask too many questions, but some of those marriages last and some don't. All of these things seem very confusing, so what is this thing called love?
What are your ideas? we all know some of the cliches, such as Love means never having to say you're sorry, well I disagree with that one, for me, Love means always being willing to say you're sorry.
Is love as it is decreed in the Bible, I doubt whether any of us would say that, perhaps some who follow their religion very precisely. God is Love and perhaps that's true, but we are not God just mortal creatures.
So is everyone in accord on what love is or do we all differ.
So I repeat the question,
What is Love?

But really, how do you describe it without bursting into song? Lol.

BTW, I agree about being able and willing to say sorry when you wrong someone you love. Communication is very important, and I hate that cliche - I could see plenty of misunderstandings arising from that kind of reasoning!

I for one, do not have enough words in my repertoire to describe LOVE to you. Especially when it comes to my feelings for Mr. 26 months.
All I know is that loving children, seem to me, far more denser and all encompassing, then loving another adult.
I'll leave it at that!

Hard as it is, Jo, I think you’ve summed it up well,
Raven, I think perhaps you’ve been a slow learner, but to your credit you seem to have it all together. It’s not easy it seems to me. It needs to be taken seriously, not in a bubble of ecstasy.
Louie, we do need to develop some concept of it, to make a pathway in life, thank you for your honesty.
Lovely to have your views everyone, I am grateful for them.
