What is love but a second-hand emotion.

Describing love is kind of retarded. How do you honestly define love? Wikipedia says that:

Love represents a range of human emotions and experiences related to the senses of affection and sexual attraction.The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction. This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

I'm going to dumb that down to my level.
Sentence 1.
Love represents a range of human emotions and experiences related to the senses of affection and sexual attraction.
  • First key word Human. Does anything besides a human fall in love? Probably not. Why? love is dumb. Sure it feels good. Sure it looks good. But what does it really bring to anyone. I don't think it represents anything but this 'dream' that we as humans feel the need to fulfill. DUMB. Humans, all of us, are kind of dumb when it comes to love.
  • Second key words "Range of... Emotions". Really?!? Emotion, makes sense right. Love one gigantic buffet of emotion. Literally every 'emotion' can be associated with love. Kind of a lame answer, and probably not the one that wikipedia was looking for. But this is My blog. Not wikipedia's.
  • Afffection and Sexual Attraction. No other living organism on the planet has sex just to have sex. Okay i lied. the Dolphin Loves sex about as much as we do. Why do we love sex so much? Don't people know that babies come from sex? I was just curious if i was the only one that got the memo.
Moving on to sentence two.
The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction.
  • Didn't the first sentence cover all of that? Different feelings + States + attitudes= Buffet of emotion. Pleasure = Sex.
Moving on again. Sentence Numero Tres.
This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
  • This is where it gets gooooooooooood.
  • Diversity of meanings: Everyone sees love differently. It is impossible to properly communicate those incredible "intense interpersonal attractions" the way they really are felt. Maybe thats where sex comes in. But from personal experience Sex feels alot better than Love ever could.
  • "complexity of feelings involved" You're telling me sister. Complex feelings that constantly kick you in the proverbial nuts. Love. A four letter word. You know what they say about four letter words? Words like Shit. Damn. Fuck. Cock. Cunt. Dick. Piss. Love is also, to me, considered one of those four letter words. I hate love. wow, thats an oxymoron.
  • Love is "unusually difficult do define" to say the least.
I think that The Feeling says it best in the second song of their debut album 12 stops and home. The track name is Never be lonely....

People in love get fast and foolish
People in love get everything wrong
People in love get scared and stupid
People in love get everything wrong

At least they're not lonely
At least they're not lonely
They'll never be lonely

B-b-b-baby
I think I'm going c-c-c-crazy
Why should I be sane without you (hahh)

They tell me to fight it
They can bloody well just try it.
I'll never be the same without you (hahh)

People in love get special treatment
People in love get everything wrong
People in love their hearts get eaten
People in love get everything wrong

At least they're not lonely
At least they're not lonely
They'll never be lonely

B-b-b-baby
I think I'm going c-c-c-crazy
And why should I be sane without you (hahh)
They tell me to fight it
But they can bloody well just try it
I'll never be the same without you (hahh)
(hahh) (hahhh)

never be lonely
never be lonely
never be lonely
never be lonely (never be lonely)
never be lonely (never be lonely)

Thats about all i have for my love rant.
