Love

Love. That seems like it should be such a simple word but the complexity behind it is overwhelming. Shouldn't love be simple and easy, something that just comes naturally? Or is love something we are supposed to work at even when the going gets rough? That is something I am trying to figure out. The four letter word can change the meaning to any relationship; family, friends, or a significant other.

What is the difference between the word love? I love my friends and some of them I would do anything for, but what is the love I have for them any different than the love I have for my family? How can love be one word but have so many different meanings depending on the relationship we speak of. How do we know if someone truly loves us? What is love, that is all i want to know.
