I don't think there can ever be a true answer to how love itself is manifested as emotion. I am impassioned and puzzled to consider love as a human capability. What more than just an amalgamation? A combination of emotional combustion and physical desires, but again, what more? Are the physical attributes even necessary? Surely they are, but not in a way of beauty, I don’t think. An individual’s mind defines beauty for itself, so are aesthetics even relevant if the point of view is not through your own eyes?

I have come to analyze love and how it affects people creating euphoric deception; therefore, in the best cases genuine compassion, understanding for one another, and the sudden NEED to care for them are the counterparts. This all comes regardless of gender, between our true relationships and those we call our "best" friends. They share this trait of love, but in a different manner. True love, as I see it should create completion. There are people who think they've found this, and people who KNOW they've found this. The deception lies in how thin of a line is drawn between the two.

To consider this, our thoughts, and why we feel these things for certain people should make us more in tune with human beings in general. The ultimate goal should be to understand ourselves, so that we know love when we find it.
