I don't think it loses all meaning at all. But, then, my working definition of love deals more with intensity of feeling, and at least one positive emotion or goodwill towards the person, not focusing on what it excludes. So obsession and abuse can be included, as long as there's something good as well.

You appear to define love as much by what it is not as by what it is. For you (correct me if I'm wrong), love must be at least mostly positive, and not purposefully negative. Which is fine, and I agree that it's much healthier. And I don't think you're definition is simplistic either.

If it's just intensity of emotion, couldn't love and hate be the same thing? To me that just seems like the words lose their meaning, I guess.

> For you (correct me if I'm wrong), love must be at least mostly positive, and not purposefully negative.

You hit it more on the "not purposefully negative". The way I define it, love can be negative, can hurt both people involved. But if it's purposefully negative, I think it loses all the qualities that make it love, and it becomes something altogether different, perhaps with the same intensity.

I think love and hate are different things. If I were to try to put it into words, hate doesn't need something positive, but love does need it. But they can cross over and even blend together.
