LOVE

         What is the one emotion that has everyone mystified? What is the one emotion that has started as many wars as it has ended? What emotion has more songs and stories written about it than anything else? Love, that one emotion that makes enemies into friends and friends into enemies.
          
         Love comes in so many different level, that it does not appear to be the some emotion at all, but it is. There is so much love, that it will be hard to put into this simple essay. It is hard to tell, but there is a lot it can.

         This emotion, bring tears to our eyes when something happens to our family members, friends and pets. When we feel love ripped from us, as in death or being spurned by another, we do things we would not normally do. Some can move on, always remembering the lost loved one after a while, but others cannot let go. There are the ones that need our love and support the most.

         There are so many levels to love, that I can only express a few of them here. Friendship starts this list off. It is does not seem like it, but we do feel love towards our friends. This is help us get along so well, and we miss them when we do not see our friend for a long time. It is also why we hold certain friends over others no matter what happens.

         Another level of love are for our siblings and other family members. It is family bond level of love that brought about the phrase "blood is thicker than water". We will do things for our brothers, sisters, mother, father and children before we would even consider doing them for anyone else. This simple family bond can even extend to include our pets, amazingly enough and that is a good thing.

         A third level to love, is the bond that brings man and women together. This level is among the strongest of them all. It is level of love that has brought together kingdoms into nations in the past and ended many great wars. Even though the two mentioned killed themselves in the end, it still brought their families together.

        The phrase, love makes the world go round is very true. It is our diving force, whatever reason it may be. Poems, plays and legends can only briefly touch the true meaning of love. We can only feel what the meaning is, and express it in ways only we can understand towards another. The true question we should be asking is not, what is life, but what is love.
