What do you think love is? Is it just infatuation? or is it a state of mind? a choice? an emotion? If you could term love, what would it be? Also, to cite Greek, does the different types and levels of love, such as agape, phileo, eros, etc. have any contribution to its definition?
Love, in my opinion, is very difficult to define....
Like you said, Greek does have many levels of love.....but English really only has one word.....
I suppose it's all in how you use it....
"I love her"....could mean "She is a great person, and I admire her deeply"....or "I love her...as a friend"....or "I LOVE her"....
Webster's definition is: "A strong positive emotion of regard and affection."
My definition is: "An undescribable feeling of passion and an irristable attraction to someone..."
Of course, that's just my opinion.....
Ask E-Harmony if you want a "real" answer....
