Love

Love is a complex feeling, manifested by strong affection. Defining it is a difficult process, caused by the complexity of its manifestation, but also by the diversity of emotional ties contained in this term. Love can be manifested towards: family (parents, children or other relatives), friends, romantic partners, divinity, animals, objects, homeland, beauty, art, etc. An important need for love (which is sometimes included in its very definition) is reciprocity - in some cases, it is felt by the subject without a physical action of the object (for example, in the case of love for the Divinity, for objects or various unapplied concepts). Unlike all other cases, Love in which romantic partners are involved uses sexuality as evidence of intimacy (the expression "making love" means having a sexual relationship). Interpersonal love can be platonic, a concept that means a condition purified by gestures or evidence of a physical nature.
