Of my own personal opinion, there are two such basic emotions; Love and Hate.
Hate is easy to define, isn't it? It is such a blunt emotion. Love, is so much harder, because of the intensity and the complexity that comes with it.
You can say you hate someone. And, more than not, you will continue to dislike that person until something is changed. Though, to love someone, requires a greater deal of patience, time and determination. Hate someone and then you can leave them alone; a chance of being away from that person. Say you love someone and you are required to stay with that person because of what you said.
To be honest, none of us know what love is. We have a concept, our own perceptions of it. But that is all what love is, a feeling that everyone has their own opinion of. We can almost all generally agree what Depression, Anger, and Sadness is. But when it comes to Love, isn't it a tad different?
Love can come into different levels. I love to play video games, it is an activity that I enjoy. I love my friends, they are people who I can relate to. I love a guy named Ryan Kiegel (and if any of you know him, DON'T tell him that XD)...why? Because I feel a close bond to him that I cannot explain. Is that what the highest level of love is? A close bond to someone? But, don't we feel close bonds to other people as well as that special someone?
I agree with both Anubis and awall, love cannot be found within Middle School. They cannot know the definition of love, their inexperience with life cannot even begin to comprehend what love is. They like the other person. Not love.
Maybe love is something that you would die for? I don't know. I'm terribly sorry for this long ramble.
