Why do we love?

Theres lots of reasons it seems for love, from the scientific through the synical and skeptical right through to it being a reason in itself. The film the Matrix explores this topic in depth, showing the many faces of love and indeed of lust somehow so intertwined with love yet somehow entirely seperate.

Lets look at a few answers to this curious question (note, these don't represnet my views. They just represent possible oppinion, though if any does represent me it would be Caring, Practical, Romantic and Good):

Poetic

Love is a wisper on the wind, the sweetest and deepest care for the one carried in the heart for all time influencing, changing, clamoring to be shared with another equal. Love is the kiss given freely to one who held your heart safe and you know will be there.

Caring

Love is the gift given to that someone whithout whom who could not be and would not wish to exist.

Romantic

Love is that feeling you have always carried deep in your heart feeling so alone without something, and it is the someone who completes your heart and makes it soar.

Practical

Love is for family and friends, love needs to be received and needs to be shared.

For the Heart Broken

Love is that cruelest of tricks played on a heart which causes sorrow and dispare when the illusion is broken and all thats left is the pain and the need.

Synical (Scientific?)

Love is a hormonal response designed to increase the likelyhood of the propagation of ones genes and to instill the desire to protect ones offspring and relations there by protecting the next generation of one's genes.

Religious

God is love, we as gods children seek to be as god and to love as he/she does.

Good

Love is a gift to be given to those that need it. It is to guide and to heal, it is selfless and sacrificing and lives forever in our hearts.

Evil

Love is a trap to be used to ensnare the unwary into bondage and oppression. Woe to those who love for they are the pupets of those they so love.

Unemotional (Detached)

To not love, is to live a life of logic and through logic true love is better served.

Selfish

Love is something to be sought out and taken as much as one can find. Love is only to be given if someone deserves it at each moment it is given.

Lazy

Love is something that will make itself know to you when its ready. I will know when I love, I will not try to love, I will just be.

New Age

Love is everywhere, we must all add to the world of love and unite everything in love.

Conservative

Love is not something which should be discussed in polite society, it is a very personal thing between a man and a woman and is nobodies business but their own.

Wet-Wet-Wet

Love is all around us, feel it in the air. If you really love me? come and show you care.
