Love is a special affection for someone or something, a feeling? or emotion?. Sceptics describe it as a chemical reaction in the human brain. Various different types of love exist, which are more or less related:
  1. love between family members: parent's love of children, etc.
  2. love of friends
  3. romantic/sexual love
  4. loving one another in general
  5. loving something abstract or inanimate
Some languages, such as ancient Greek, are better than English at distinguishing between the different senses in which the word love is used. For example, ancient Greek has the words "philia," "eros", "agape," referring to love between friends, romantic/sexual love and love of other people in general, respectively.
Love is also the name of a Los Angeles-based rock and roll band of the late 1960s. See Love/Band.
Also see Courtney Love, a popstar in the band Hole.
