What is Love

Happy Valentine's day. I think everyday should be about love and not just a holiday. Why be so special on just one day? Everyday should be viewed as a special day of being alive and expressing yourself of your love for everyone and the one you care about.
Humans often don't realize that some of their action are based for love. The pursuit for acceptance leads for the need to be loved that leads to happiness. We all like to be accepted by others and be loved. There are many levels of love. There is the friendship love, the lust, the love for your mated...etc. There is also the love for nature, animals and plants for the Earth itself. Love comes in many forms.
Affection: feelings of tenderness and/or wanting physical closeness
Attachment: satisfying basic emotional needs
Altruism: selfless or unselfish concern for another
Reciprocation: if love is mutual
Commitment: a desire to maintain love
Emotional intimacy: sharing emotions and feelings
Friendship: the spirit between friends
Kinship: family bonds
Passion: whole-hearted desire
Physical intimacy: sharing of intimate personal space
Self-interest: desiring rewards
Service: desire to help
