Love has many definitions depending each person's situation, perspective and outlook.
And even more than one definition of love from the same person.
Sometimes it is even easier to define what is NOT love.
A person's age and experience will impact on how they define love.
Each person will start to form a view of what is love and their answer is entirely valid, for them, and their situation, values, attitudes and experience. Their answer is from the heart and is their genuinely held valid (for them) view of love.
Yet the next answer may entirely contradict the previous answer, yet be just as valid, from the heart and genuinely held valid (for them) view of
love. as the previous example.
One of my feelings about ''what is love?'' is an overwhelming feeling that:
Love is that beautiful peaceful complete feeling one senses when one realises that any time spent with my beloved
(be it a minute or an uninterrupted hours, days, months and years plus period of time) feels like a fleeting second and I cherish every moment for I can express myself, say what I feel, be who I am, and know my feelings are mutual with the person I love.
And yet later today I may think of a different definition, that also applies, and still know it defines the same loving
relationship with the same person, that inspired the above definition.
And still be confident that what I experience and feel is love, and know my beloved loves me no more and no less for having more than one definition that applies and can be called ''love''to apply to the same relationship.
So firstly perhaps love is non judgemental.

It's a feeling.
Beyond that, it's impossible to define. People have been trying for centuries.
