Quote:We have senses of pain and pleasure yet we don’t know exactly what they are. We don’t like pain and we like pleasure that’s all we know. Science is so feeble that it can’t even give explanation to our different feelings like what is love and what is hate. Although every one of us experiencing in our daily lives the pleasure of love yet there is no tool that can prove scientifically what is love. If you say, “I love you” and your listener response “prove it” that makes you hang in the middle of air as you don’t know what to do next because you are a believer of science and science has no tools to help you out in this case.
I'm completely fed up with this childish kark that love is some mysterious, undefinable something.
Love is the subjective condition that exists when another person's happiness is essential to your own. This definition is not original with me (bonus points and an onion milkshake for the first person to source it correctly), but it seems unarguable. If you are indifferent to someone else's happiness, you can't claim to 'love' them, I think. Similarly, it seems perverse in the extreme to claim that you don't love someone when their happiness is a vital component of your own.
