When I hear the word love I first think of two people getting married. They are happy because they have found true love. I also think of loving your family. Parents loving their children and their siblings. Love can be comforting, but can also be harmful. Constantly wanting people to love you and being overly obsessed with them can be painful. For example in Song of Solomon, Hagar is crazy over Milkman. When Milkman leaves her, she falls apart. She is desperate for love and as a result she is miserable.
I believe there are different degrees of love. The love for your family will probably be the strongest. Next might be the love for your friends and the people in your neighborhood. People show deep love for their pets as well. "Dog is a man's best friend." Love does not have to be for humans or animals, but for activities such as sports. Most of the time I love playing soccer. Soldiers fight because they love their country. They are proud to fight for their people.
Love is often unclear, hidden, and paradoxical. Many children love their parents, but hate them at the same time. Siblings are always getting into fights. Brothers may claim they hate their sisters, but deep down inside they know they love each other.
