Love is the whole of these individual parts...The whole is more than the sum of its parts.... It can be very hard to define its truest meaning that's why it is easier understood when it is put to action.... There are actually many good examples of love, though temporary but still expressions of love.... Example: My mom is a single mother...she could've abandoned her two sons (a toddler and an infant) yet she endured all the hardships to give us a decent life.... Another example, a man donated his kidney to her ex-gf who was already married to another man but still this man loved his ex-gf....But it all depends on you if you can see that as love...if you refuse to see it as love, then for you it doesn't exist. Indeed, a man can live through life without experiencing love...
