Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection (“I love my mother”) to pleasure (“I loved that meal”). It is not necessary that love happens with only opposite gender, it can happen with anyone like loving you young brother, your grandmother etc. Love refers to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment. It can also be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection-“the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another”.
It may also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one’s self or animals.Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts. Love is defined as a measure of selfless give and take.
Love cures people -both the ones who give it and the ones who receives it. The benefits of love are explicit and measurable. One of the benefits is obtained from Bear Hugs, hugging dramatically lower blood pressure and boost blood levels of oxytocin, a relaxing hormone that plays a key role in labor, breastfeeding, and orgasms.And the more you hug, the better it is. Women who hugged the most daily has the highest oxytocin levels, and their systolic blood pressure that was 10 mm/Hg lower than women with low oxytocin levels-an improvement similar to the effect of many leading blood pressure medications. Getting more daily hugs from their husbands was related to higher oxytocin, and so the hugs were indirectly related to lower blood pressure.
The physical benefits include reduction in blood pressure & heart rate. This can help ward off a host of diseases; such as heart disease, diabetes, and obviously high blood pressure to name a few. The body feels less tense and a lot of your physical pain subsides. According to a Stanford University study, “love activates the same neural receptors in the brain as pain-soothing drugs.” What a great substitute to popping pills!
The bones also get stronger, and there are no cavities, frail bones problem. The couples can learn to fight sweeter, replacing hostile comments with less judgmental ones. “Conflict itself is normal” and it’s healthy-it engages couples in the relationship.” But there is a difference between healthy fighting and fighting that wears down your immunity. Happy couples manage to be far more positive than negative when they’re duking it out, interjecting playful jokes and affectionate pokes in the ribs.
Love protects the heart, women in good marriages have a much lower risk of cardiovascular disease than those in high-stress relationships. It also leads to a longer life,according to the National Longitudinal Mortality Study, married people live longer. Plus, they have fewer heart attacks and lower cancer rates, and even get pneumonia less frequently than singles.
Love also helps in beating cancer, cancer patients with a strong sense of connection to others and satisfying relationships had more vigorous “natural killer” cell activity at the site of the tumour than those who didn’t have those social ties. (These desirable white blood cells kill cancerous cells as part of the body’s immune system).It removes boredom, mental illness. Schizophrenia which is a mental disorder often characterised by abnormal and social behaviour is removed by love.
Apart from health benefits, love improves personality development, as you every day make yourself well dressed to attract your love.When you want to attract your love, the tricky and clever property of your nature are also increased. It improves the ability of you to think before speak, as each word in love is accountable and it plays a role of a building block. It adds on one additional feature in thenature, of being an open book in front of your love, and it makes you more truthful and you share every good and bad incidents of your life with your love. It is a noticeable fact that after falling in love anger reduces. The person in love looks to be the happiest person in the world and he/she can deal with harder and tougher situation even more accurately and wisely. Sometimes it looks as if youare living your life only for your love. Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Love can also be for your desire or for your aim. You should have to believe in it and create an environment around yourself that everyone will also believe in your beliefs. Love for your desire should be such that it will not let you sleep until you achieve it. When your love is true all forces of this earth come together for letting you achieve your target.
Love is greater than faith and hope because love is eternal, while faith and hope are temporal.There is no permanent fact that love happens only once in life. Believe in love, it can happen anytime and for numerous number of times in life, although it does not have a specific time to happen, and it happens incidentally in life, even when you don’t know. Love isn’t something you find, love is something that finds you. True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen. Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving, it is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weakness.
Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. Friendship often ends in love, but love never ends in friendship. Love is irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
“Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife, or husband, to a next door neighbour. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better &happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness, kindness in your face, kindness in your smile, kindness in your eyes, and kindness in your warm greeting.”
