Thank you Mirror. I have never really thought about this until now. I am not absolutely sure how I feel about this question, but I believe I am leaning more twards love being a feeling than a choice. I just think that if it were a choice then wouldn't it be so simple to just choose not to love someone that has hurt you or left you?

I've found that love is something that overcome's me when I'm so not expecting it. So, Love grow's.

"Love is not a feeling. Love is an action, an activity. . .Genuine love implies commitment and the exercise of wisdom. . . . love as the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.....true love is an act of will that often transcends ephemeral feelings of love or cathexis, it is correct to say, 'Love is as love does'.”
I agree with that quote 100%. Implied therein is that love is a choice. Attraction or being in love... those are feelings that are beyond a person's control and have to do with biology, pheromones, etc. |

I believe you allow yourself to open up to the possibilities of feelings, thus making a choice, but love itself is a feeling.

I feel both things need to be involved. Love should be present beyond the 'honeymoon' or 'lust' phase. Loving someone should go beyond the shallow things ex: He's cute, or she's pretty. It is a process of having similar commonalities, by matching personalities in many ways. Once that has been established, that's when the choice begins. You need to choose to continue to love that person, when they are sick, lost their job, lost a family member and gained 50 pounds. When in this generation, the message is that people are disposable, 'the grass is greener' syndrome. That someone is prettier, more handsome, has more money than the one you've got, then you are missing the boat. Choosing to stay and Loving someone no matter what, are just not valued qualities anymore.

I would say that love is more of a feeling than a choice...a combination of both however with more feeling!!...

I quoted earlier studies showing that the brain is stimulated in the addiction centers of the brain in people who are in love, and like most addictions it is ergo a choice. BUT for those who advocate a disease of addiction, then okay it is a disease. I agree...also, that is hilarious.
