Everyone is a philosopher when it comes to love. Definitions are "a dime a dozen". Some says, "love is a rose, "fragrant and beautiful, but thorny and painful". The modern mind thinks of love in vague, nebulous, existential and non-definable terms. It's something happens to you and can't be defined.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, "love is a deep affection or fondness, sexual passion, sexual relations for beloved one or sweetheart." Love is one of the most precious and treasured feelings in one's life Love is known since the time of Adam and Eve. Being in love gives a sense of completeness. It makes one feel as if nothing else is needed in order to survive in this world. Sometimes, being in love can act as a stepping-stone, or a doorway passage into another world that you never knew what was out there.

Love can give you a new outlook on things, turns everything you've ever known into something you never thought was possible. Love can also strengthen a 'tie' or 'bond' that you may have with someone, in a sense that you have that much more in common. Many love stories that we've heard s

uch as Romeo and Juliet, Laila and Majnun, Shah Jehan and Mumtaz Mahal, just to name a few. These love stories began with lavishing love but ended in griefs.

If we see the western ways of expressing their love is totally different than the eastern way. They teach that almost every person falls in love. Children are 'prepared' for love from early childhood. Even in fairy tale, we can counter motifs of love, struggle for the loved person and happy life after wedding. Cinderella, Snow white, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, just to name a few.

They are more open-minded and have a straightforward way in dealing with love. According to them, they that love is the seizing feeling, inspired with the beauty and character of the loved person and it strikes suddenly and uncontrollably at the first sight of the lover. They also believe that if a person who does not love his spouse anymore; he can take a bold step by deserting her. They don't mind about committing adultery and games of flirtation. They consider that as normal. Another example is when a man who asks a girl for a 'date'. He will directly ask whether she agrees to go out with him or not. Thus, these show how these western cultures play its role.

For example if we see in the SvetasvataraUpanishad, 6.23 (Hindu's holy book), it says

Love towards God should not be forgotten too. We love God, as he is the creator of human. Compassion and greatness towards God is very important. True love to God is the desire to do whatever possible to bring oneself close to him especially by understanding him and his teachings. He can contemplate all the good deeds that God does, and realize how he constantly watches and sustains all creation when one thinks about this.

Love is said to strike when Cupid, the God of Love, struck the arrow of love to the victims, according to Greek Myth. So, the name of Cupid is used synonymously with the concept of love today. Is love so precious and great? However, does love has a universal value? Is it the same around the world? As for me, love is different between genders and cultures. Undeniably, love is different between projection love and love towards objects too.
