For that matter, define "good." Most of us believe that we hold a clear understanding of what it means, and dictionaries give a mechanical summary, but when asked to give an actual definition, we can't.
It's subjective, like many words describing emotion.
I don't know about the OP, but I guess for me, it's many of things on your list. My own definition would be a love that is not only unconditional, but complete, absolute, and spiritual. Once experienced, you realize that you now feel whole. You feel needed. If true love was then lost...you'd bear a wound of permanent emptiness for the remainder of your life. I would not only risk, but offer to give my life for it. When I do die, I can go peacfully knowing I've experienced it.
That may sound cheesy, but it's the best I can do to describe my own experience...and what it means to me.
OP here. I have to say this is the best definition I've ever read by far. The losing part is very accurate, I'm sorry if you went through that. But this, this is what I meant by true love. :)
Do you believe in true love?
