Love
What is love?
I like the view of it as being some physically indiscernible, yet all too real, connection between two people. Such as it's described in the book “Xenocide”, by Orson Scott Card, where it talks about 'philotic connections.' Not that I view it quite that way. And there is the issue with needing to have some degree of knowledge in order to truly effect love between two beings. Intelligence, or knowledge about the being, seems to be a requisite to the degree and capacity to effect love. Whatever that means.
Any other thoughts on this? This is much to big for a single post. Heck, it's too much for a single internet's worth of discussion.

True. To know is to love. To know of the other's flaws, mistakes and imperfections and still accept him/her wholly for who he/she really is (and what he/she represents) without any conditions, without any stipulations.. (inspite and despite).. that I guess is what love is all about. At times, I believe that to love is also the willingness of thinking less of oneself for the sake/benefit of another, caring less for one's personal advantages for another person. Is it too idealistic?
