Roses,chocolate,cards,and hearts all represent love in their own way,but still mean almost the same thing.There are many symbols that represent love,but the one that all around represents it is the heart. The definition of love is a profoundly tender,passionate affection for another person.
When you think about the heart you think about love. Right? Your heart is where you keep all your emotions and what you care about. When people talk about their heart it's usually the most important part in a relationship because it holds all of your feelings.When you feel sad, there is something that makes your heart "heavy" and when excited they say it skips a beat, but we have all felt that warm feeling when we are in love or in a loving moment. The shape of the heart that symbolises love today wasnt always what it was. In ancient times, seeds of the plant Siphilum were used for birth control
and they were shaped like the heart we see today. The greeks sought this as a symbol of love because it was way for sexual activities increasing romance.
The heart has long been used as a symbol to refer to the spiritual, emotional, moral, and in the past, also intellectual core of a human being. As the heart was once widely believed to be the seat of the human soul is now used and stylized to depict a symbol for love.
On the other hand the heart symbol is also thought to be derived from the shape made by swans' necks in a courting ritual, which resembles the heart shape.
