		<description>yes, it really is. But even then there are different degrees of the &quot;love&quot; lifestyle, so really, it&#039;s arbitrary enough for people to define it however they want to. 
Sort of like faith. The absence of a god&#039;s justification for their actions strengthens people&#039;s faith; having someone actually explain why they created the world, or allowed a genocide to occur, might also deterr people&#039;s faith in them (in disagreeance, or something), so really, it&#039;s circumstantia. the &quot;unconditional&quot; aspect of faith only happens on the condition that the god actually doesn&#039;t physically manifest themselves to administer or explain destinies.</description>

		<description>Love isn&#039;t what tv, many stories, and the media explain it is.  

When you love someone, what part of them do you &quot;love&quot;?  And why do you &quot;love&quot; this person over others?  What if everything you loved about one person were switched with your worst enemy?  Would yo still &quot;love&quot; this person if they had the same traits as your worst enemy?  Why not?  What is a person?  If you enjoy a person for a combination of their looks, tastes, laughter, interests, personality--you are loving these traits/circumstances and not necessarily the person.  And these traits may be found in PLENTY many people.  What if this person you &quot;loved&quot; became permanently maimed or their personality changes based on life situations or you change?  Would you still love the same person?  Or would you love your enemy?  What is it that you &quot;love&quot;?  

The love described in stories/tv is not love.  It is conditional like.  You and I are having a great relationship based on our tastes and personality and where we are in our life matches.  But if all these things I enjoy change, you no longer &quot;love.&quot;

Love is not what someone has, it is not a &quot;thing&quot; to be in or have.  Love is a religion/way of living.  This understanding comes from recognizing you are everyone and no one.  It only makes sense then.  To love is to love everyone.

I finally came to this understanding, but I have yet to completely live with love.</description>
