What is love? Love is the virtue of true compassion and affection. Love grows as it is given away. With romantic love, when two people meet and fall in love it is as if they were touched by the same star. They may talk about being soul-mates.
Romance was brought to us by the 12th century troubadors who serenaded townsfolk with their songs of love. Courtly love flourished as stories swirled of knights and ladies obsessed with their lovers.
Today Tinseltown tried to capture the themes of love, desire, passion, betrayal, deception, lust and infidelity that we often read of in the Greek myths. However, it was the fierly punishments and ultimate rewards that transcended the lust and lies that made the gods and goddesses of mythology memorable and monumental.
Perhaps the oldest definition was written centuries ago and is found 1 Corinthians 13:4

- Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous.
- Love is never boastful nor conceited; it is never rude or selfish.
- Love does not take offense neither it is resentful.
- Love takes no pleasure in other people’s faults, but delights in the truth.
- Love is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.
What is the sound of love? It is a still small voice in our heart that comes with contentment and commitment. A gentle breeze, the sound of peace.
