All about Love

Love is described as an intense sense of emotion or affection for others and anything which brings pleasure into a person's experience, and thus encourages general well-being. According to many philosophies from various cultural backgrounds, expression of love for others and to be loved in return is the ultimate source of happiness for humans. The emotion of love has to be experienced in order to be understood, words cannot explain the depth of this emotional state. Love comes from God, to love and to be loved is what a person seeks all his life. There is a secret inclination in our nature towards loving others, Love replaces loneliness with intimacy and promotes the senses of hope and contentment.

Sharing Love through Smileys and Emoticons

There are many types of love which can be experienced at different levels. The most desirable form of love in human could be the interpersonal love which is the feeling of love and affection between human beings.

Since the beginning of time, man has always been searching for ways to convey these feelings to his loved one. This includes behaving in a certain manner in the presence of their loved one or the giving of gifts, to make them aware of these emotions. Many prefer to write to their beloved one in the form of love notes, love letters, emails, cards, and even through chat and Instant Messaging. This online usage has given birth to the idea of love emoticons and love smileys in the digital era.

Chat and IM provides a great way for lovers to keep in contact, even if they're separated by huge distances; this is why emoticons about love and romance are one of the most popular emoticon categories today. There are two types of love graphic:

Love Smileys

These usually feature the classic yellow smiley face. They're created with different expressions and messages to help the user to easily express his or her feelings by simply sending those smileys through email or Instant Messages.

Love Emoticons

These are the icons which are not necessarily made with the classic smiley faces. This type of icon can feature any love related item such as a heart, a flower, ring, etc.

Although this is the correct way of naming the icons, the terms "smileys" and "emoticons" are mostly used interchangeably (as discussed in the main emoticons article).
