It depends upon how the two people get along with each other and what kind of life situations they experience. Love can be considered a boon if its reciprocated and both partners work towards making it a beautiful one, but if our feelings for the other person are not corresponded, or when our partner betrays us it can be considered a bane.

Both. Sometimes it is wonderful, and sometimes it is awful.

Depends where in the relationship you are.

Like most things, it’s it a binary answer.

Reproduction is dependent upon a genetic predilection to engage in sexual behaviors that is likely to produce pregnancy. Such instinct driven activity often creates an emotional bond between participants and inclines them to form emotional bonds with offspring that potentially will increase the child’s survival. Humans conceptualize bonding as love, which is definitely a boon.

Nothing more thrilling than happy love, more demoralizing than sad love—or none. Life is about experiencing both.

I think it’s the score in tennis when you have no points.

It’s a burse.

It can be either, but it is not lord and master. It may try to go one way, but it can be stopped. In other words, it can head towards disaster and heartache, but you can prevent that by not letting it hurt you. It can head towards bliss, and through anger or other reasons, you can divert it to be nothing.
If you want to experience love, best to not be pushy with it, and when it begins to develop, don’t mess around and kill it.

Both. It is used so often in so many ways that it loses it’s meaning.

It’s a pain in the butt.

It depends on whether you or the other are in love or just in lust.. One has the potential of being enduring while the other is always fleeting and it depends on which emotion your in that can make it a boon or a bust, but will always harm the serious one.

It’s both, it can push you to go further, aspire higher, and drive harder, it can also suck the life and purpose out of you, destroy any hope you had and leave you reveling in cynicism and after the sadness passes, leave you in apathy.

It can be either or both, and those who don’t know it will almost certainly learn.
