What is this?

Love is the felt quality of being deeply attracted, both emotionally and intellectually, to another person on many levels, including the physical, emotional, spiritual, and interpersonal. It is an energy that arises from the subjective connection and resonance between two people, usually mutually shared and characterized by mutual understanding and mutual openness. Love is a potent state of openness, creativity, and interconnection, part of what propels our desire to make mutual contributions to the relationship and to any shared projects or causes. Love can ultimately be seen as the ultimate expression of our capacity to care, appreciate, and value another human being.
