Love

Love is the answer. Who has not heard that said or seen it written? The term is beautiful, but far too ambiguous. It neither defines love or says what it answers.

There must be countless books, poems, songs, and other sources of the concept. In this article, the focus will be defining Love and what it is the answer to.

What alternative is there? We can experience things, but we can communicate about them too. That leaves us stuck with words. It is like talking about God, something that is beyond the adequacy of words.
