Cross-Cultural Love ?



"Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it... It really is worth fighting for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more." Erica Jong



What's Love ?


We must absolutely agreed that this is one of the most difficult and tricky questions that ever exist. How can anyone give a concrete definition about Love ? Is it possible to define Love as a good thing or a bad thing ? Every definition changes according to the experience that all of us have; if we lived good moments with our partners we surely would say that "Love" is the most beautiful feeling that exist,on the other hand, if we experienced bad we with no doubts would say that is the worst thing that ever happened. Nevertheless, we all can say that we have had experience love in the past, can we ?

"Love all, Trust a few, do wrong to none"
William Shakespeare


But, is love an universal feeling ? Or, is possible that the perception of love changes depending or our country ? Could it be possible that what we consider love is understand as something completely different somewhere else ? 



Is it Love a Cross-Cultural feeling ?

Well, this I don't know, I can only make assumptions about it. We might find some differences in what we consider what love is, but it seems that deeply the concept of love is accepted and understood by many people as the same. Additionally, it is important to say that we possibly find variations on the surface concepts but without this exception, the word "Love" is related with kindness, strong bounds of friendship and an unconditional sense of commitment with your mate. In Short, I can say that so far, the feeling of "love" is cross-cultural.


Thanks for visiting.
