You need to feel it, and you need to feel it fully. When you try to ignore it or repress it, it will come back to bite you on the ass later. :)

In fact Adolf often met with Vatican Royalty

It is neither and both of those things. Love is like art: I may not be able to define it, but I know it when I experience it.
 
Yayyy, how did I not discover this thread before? This is an EXCELLENT one! My literature teacher gave us an essay to do about this exact question, and I got a horrible D- from her for it. I wonder how you would mark my answer.

I think that love comes from women. When we are little, our mothers fill us with it, and then we absorb it and re-send it to others. I had a really good nanny, when I got into a squabble with a girl when I was little (~4-5 y.o.), she said something like "stop and look at her, isn't she beautiful?". And she was right, I stopped, and the girl became more important than whatever I had wanted.

Love is also very selfish, more selfish than even murder. Nobody falls in love for the sake of another person. No woman decides to get pregnant for the sake of her future child. It is a record that babies, who don't get a motherly love, stop growing and die. So we are born and exist because of love.

Men are usually removed from love to some degree because of the need to compete for survival. Every time we outcompete an opponent, we destroy love to a degree. My logic is that, when we all compete to make "the world better", we achieve nothing, because we just undermine the very love that created us. Because love is selfish, it leads to unlimited creation that leads to unlimited competition that leads to the destruction of love and the destruction of our existence. This is why happiness is so illusive and far fetched when compared to love.

Are you talking about the road to reach happiness?

I am currently running an exercise on myself, that is I prohibited myself from dating for the rest of the year. This is to figure out how to reach happiness. So far it looks like that you are right, loving someone real still remains a key to it.

Here is the dilemma: nobody can love just everyone/anyone. (I have learnt this the hard way.) So we force a selection process to arrive at the person who we love. What if that person decides to change?
