What is Love?

What is Love Music Video By Haddaway,
Seriously, what is love? There is the love between family which is quite different from the love between partners. We love our family because they care for us and we care for them. Love is an essential part of life because we need to feel like someone cares about us. Otherwise we are alone in this world and that is scary. But do friends love each other? I think so because I care about those people I call my good friends and I think they care about me. Thus, love does not have to be sexual what so ever.
Where does love come from? Well according to Socrates' theory of recollection, our soulds are immortal and thus have learned everything about life we need to know. Thus when we live our lives we are relearning what we have learned countless times before. Perhaps this explains why love is such a powerful feeling. We have learned to love countless times, thus when we feel like we are in love it is seemingly and undoubtedly the feeling of love, even if our minds are playing a trick on us due to having our heart beat increased before meeting someone and mistaking that heart beat for love.
I believe the fact that we have recollecting everything from our past lives we thus have an innate feeling of love. This includes love for our parents when they cares for us, love for others such as boyfriends and girlfriends and love ( a very differently love) for our friends and family.
