"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another is conditional to your own." Robert Heinlein from the novel "Stranger in a Strange Land" (1961)
I prefer saying "Love is that condition whereby the happiness of another is essential to your own."
I have yet to see any better definition, and I have been applying this one as an basic test for over 30 years. The definition works.
Basic tests:
1. If another is unhappy and you are happy, you do not love them.
2. If another is unhappy and you cannot be happy because of that, you love them.
3. If you love someone who is happy, you CAN be happy, but your happiness is not essential, important, or required.

"love is, a homeless guy ... searchin' for treasure in the middle of the rain and finding a bag of gold coins and slowly finding out they're all filled with chocolate and even though he's heartbroken he can't complain cuz he was hungry in the first place." -Bo Burnham

Love is risk, a risk that is almost always worth it just because of how it makes you feel. No other emotion compares to love. Love is something that defines human nature and the close bond between a male and a female. It can be the best feeling in the entire universe to love someone. But losing that love or that person can be more devastating than anything a person can experience. With love, anything is possible, with love all things are made new.
