What is love?

Q: What is love?

Interviewee1:
Love is a waste of time. Its basically a mathematical equation.
Love is not like food water or air which is essential for survival.
Love is not for survival.
But love is still essential because we are conditioned to think that it is important.

Q: You mentioned that its a mathematical equation, so is there a formula?

Interviewee1:
Actually a formula is to prove if an equation is valid. But in this case, since love is not for survival yet it is essential... makes it a conflicting equation. Hence its like saying it cannot be proven, hence love is a waste of time...

Quoted from "5 People You'll Meet in Heaven(thanks Janys):
"Lost love is still love, Eddie. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nuture it. You hold it. You dance with it. Life has to end," she said. "Love doesn't."


I would like everyone who has taken the time and effort to reply my silly question. These replies have somehow helped me gained a new perspective on how should I view love is... :)
