We asked the people of Bursa for their definition of love.

In the Bursa Street Interviews series, we asked the question, 'What is love and have you ever been in love?'

IS LOVE A DISEASE OR LOYALTY?

Some participants in the interview viewed love as "a disease with no cure," while others associated love with loyalty and trust. A citizen who said, "Love is loyalty, trust, and being in love," argued that love is only possible with a deep connection. Another perspective was, "Love is ignoring everything, good and bad; it is a feeling of mutual belonging."

LOVE AND DISAPPOINTMENTS

Some citizens associated love with unfulfilled dreams. A person who said, "Love is hope, it is a dream, but my dreams did not come true; I am trying to settle for love," expressed that love has been replaced by disappointment. Others emphasized that love is a feeling that integrates with affection and is too deep to be described.

IS LOVE IGNORING EVERYTHING ABOUT A PERSON?

Another perspective was that love is accepting all aspects of a person, both good and bad. In this understanding of love, which is nourished by a sense of mutual belonging, it was emphasized that individuals should feel connected to each other in every way.
