Expert summary
Love is a term that can refer to a number of positive human emotions felt towards something or someone. When it comes to positive feelings and affection, 'love' along with 'like' are the two most common terms used, with love being the stronger of the two. However, love can reference a huge range of intensity depending on the context it is used in. Love can be used to show the feeling one has towards a favorite activity or food, as in “I love pizza”, while it can also be used for the intense emotional affection between spouses. Love is often represented visually using a red heart shape, it can also be represented by cupid when used in a romantic context.
