[02] || [What is Love?] || [Video/Text]

Greetings.

[ As is usual for Data, his message is simultaneously sent in both video and text formats. ]

There has been a weeding recently and in one week is an event known as "Saint Valentine's Day", a holiday associated with romantic love. It is an occasion in which lovers express their love for each other in a special manner, most often depending on their culture and past.

But what is love? How would you define that feeling? I have been told about love before, but it is a most... complicated emotion and no explanation I have heard truly conveyed an understanding of the feeling.

love is the best feeling in the world
it's mankind's miracle
it's what drives us
without love there is no hope
nor are there BABIES

I believe 'love' being the best feeling in the world and mankind's miracle may be a subjective observation. Furthermore, I can feel no emotion, yet I am yet driven by other factors.

Could you explain me in details the correlation between 'love' and hope'? I find this most intriguing.

Also, there can be babies without love. Thanks to the progress in science, there are no need for a man and a woman to have sexual intercourse to have children. A woman alone can have a children.

well
if you love someone you'll want to protect them
and if you want protect them you want to make the world a better place for them
so you hope that the world will become better
and you hope that you won't fail
because you hope you can see the face of the one you love smiling happily

oh
that's kinda like what Big Mommy did
but that's just something that can happen
and not something that should happen

I want to protect my friends and comrades, yet I do not feel love. Does that make friendship the equal of love, or at least a related state?

I understand your further parts. When in love, you wish for the happiness of the loves ones. This makes sense. But again, this may apply for friendship as well as a variety of other state.

friendship is very related to lovbe
some people even call it one kind of love
but when you've got romantic love
you want to givve them even more than what you want to give your friends
you would choose them over the entire world

So this person you love is special? Like a best friend, but much more important?

The way you and others describe it, it does sound like a wonderful feeling.

exactly!
it's wonderful even when it's painful

Love can be painful? Intriguing.

if the one you love doesn't love you back in the same way
then yep
or if you love two people both in a romantic way and know you have to choose

I suppose this would not be a problem in societies allowing polygamy.

what if you're related to one of those people

I suppose this would be more delicate. Incest is regarded as a crime in nearly all civilizations I have encountered.

so that sort of love would definitely bring pain
but it's still a beautiful thing to be able to love

I believe I understand better now.

Thanks for explaining it.

ur welcome
