Love is said to be a deep liking and attachment,we feel towards a person who is close to us.Love is always associated with romantic relationships but it’s not always true.There can be close and strong love for friends,parents,siblings,children or any of our relative.In this case we always think about the well being of the other person involved.This love and caring give rise to a sense of concern for the other person.

Compassion on the other hand is a more broader sense of emotion and it arises out of sympathy,pity seeing the suffering of others. People feel compassionate for others who are stuck in unfortunate situations and take efforts to help and bring them out of it. These situation could be due to poverty, illness or any other situation and we would reach out to help that.Such people with a generous and kind heart are said to be compassionate humans..This will and emotion to help others we generally don't find in all the people around.

Love is a complicated emotion which can be difficult to understand and handle at times.It can include a wide variety of feelings and can vary from person to person. This can include strong sense of feeling of Caring, liking, affection, protectiveness and attachment .Sometimes this desire and affection for someone can cross borders and turn into obsession and possessiveness.The love we feel towards a person differs according to the attachment or comfort level we share in the relationship.

Compassion is a feeling that originates in the heart of a generous and kind person whose heart melts at the suffering of others.There is a feeling of wanting to help someone in distress, like someone sick, hungry,or in trouble.Disability, disease, death, pain, poverty, violence and sadness are some situations that evoke compassion in a human heart.
Both these feeling, Love and compassion are the two positive and strong emotions that makes the world a better place to live in.

Love is the most powerful force on earth. It has been written about, sung about, and deified since the beginning of time. Love has permeated every culture and society across the globe as a predominant source of motivation in all of human behavior.

This article will explore one theory on what love might be - that compassion is not only part of what we call "love" but it might actually be love. We all seek love in life, but the concept of its existence is not as black and white as it may seem. There are many facets to this powerful emotion that make defining it tricky. Compassion will differ in its definition depending who you ask, and how you define it depends on what exactly drives your compassion. It's important to see these two related terms for what they really are: different sides of one coin.
 
Through exploring the world's definitions of love and compassion, we can create a more nuanced understanding of both life-giving emotions. We hope this blog post will be an informative read for anyone that needs help getting a better understanding of these much used words.
 
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines the word love as "an intense affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties." One can see the definition of love through this lens, but it doesn't really give one a clear understanding of what love is. It just points to where the meaning lies. The definition goes on to say that "to feel a deep attraction toward (someone)," which helps shine light on what we see in ourselves and others when we experience love.
 
We are all familiar with the term "love at first sight," but that is more an idea than something based in science. Some say you can see attraction in someone's eyes, but there is no basis for this statement.

There are many different definitions of love and compassion, but these two words encompass a very complex set of emotions and experiences. Most people believe that love is a feeling with a range of personal feelings like joy, affection, romance, attention and empathy. However, there is not an exact definition for the feeling; it has been described as everything from an intense feeling to nothing at all. On the other hand, compassion can be seen as having patience or mercy for someone who needs it. Compassion usually occurs when one person helps another in some way; you might help someone through their troubles by keeping them company or encouraging them to overcome their struggles.

In contrast, love can be seen as a demonstration of compassion. When people love another person, they demonstrate their feelings for them in many ways such as giving them compliments, being sympathetic to their issues and concerns, or even providing support when things are difficult for them.
 
Love is an important aspect that connects individuals together or keeps two people together during a relationship. Love can be seen in many different places throughout the world but in its purest form it is unconditional love between two people who love each other unconditionally; this can be between family members or friends. For example, you might feel unconditional love for your parents, siblings and children because you care for them regardless of how they treat you and how they feel about you.
