What is love?

With people "falling in love" like its going out of style these days its hard to differ what love really is. If you Google "What is love" the results are overwhelming and they are all different, one comparison of 'love' that I found and thought couldn't be more true is from the Urbandictionary.com, "Lust is the desire of their body, Love is the desire of their soul."
According to Websters Dictionary love is, 1. to hold dear 2. to feel a lover's passion, devotion, or tenderness for 3. to desire actively 4. to thrive in

I believe love should be selfless, you should be willing put that person far above you and their needs above yours, willing to commit all that you have to that one person for the rest of your life, willing to sacrifice all you've ever wanted but in turn not having to. The word love is said like its nothing, the meaning of love has been misunderstood for sometime now, its up to us to show the world what love really is.

Here are some definitions of love, 

"Love is giving someone the ability to destroy you and trusting they wont."

"Love is, commitment." 

"Love; a word used by many, but understood by few."

"Love; the desire to learn"

"Love is patient and kind, love does not envy or boast, it is not arrogant or rude. 

It does not insist on its own way, it is not irritable or resentful, it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

1 Cor 13:4-7
