Love is actually an illogical delusion and a salient symptom of a weaker race, we must detach ourselves and discard love in contest for glory.
You seem to be one of those "survival of the fittest" kind of guys.
Well here's some food for thought. Whether you believe in God or you believe in evolution, the simple fact is that love is something that aids in survival in one way or another. Love brings couples together for the sake of companionship which aids in reproduction, giving us the means to make sure our species continues indefinitely.
Love is what keeps peace, bringing off conflict and perhaps saving lives at times.
However, some might say that love causes people to sacrifice themselves for others.
But you know what? They sacrifice themselves for others so that the ones they love can continue to survive for that much longer.
i dont believe love is some magical force like some people seem to here
i believe love is something that can develop over time. it doesn't need to be there when you start the relationship. all you need to start the relationship is some sort of initial attraction. from there, you get to know each other better and that's where the love comes in.
i think love and physical attraction are independent, but i don't believe you can have a healthy relationship if you love someone but aren't physically attracted to them.
Pretty much this too, but love goes beyond the opposite gender.
Love is, like you said, a bond that develops over time, but this can be with family, friends, etc.
Because of this bond between people, love enables people to grow stronger, because truly, there is strength in numbers. This goes along with my previous point about "survival of the fittest", because strength is almost completely directly related to survival.
