Love
No word is more romantic than love.
Love means everything to many people.
People become happy when they are in love,and feel lonely and depressed when they have no one to love. Love is usually regarded as a good thing and seems immune from criticism.
But problems arise when people identify love with selfishness and jealousy. Some try to "own" their partners like property, simply because they are in love, and this attitude easily jeopardizes the relationship between the two people.
Love means understanding, and we must admit our lover as he is or she is, not as an object of ownership.Love between parents and children is usually considered endless and unconditional. But many people say there is a difference between maternal love and paternal love.
