What is love?

When love beckons to you, follow him,Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound thee. .... My fav poet's words....love is like the wind between the trees. Love is wonderful and love can be terrible, it is an emotion. Aristotle would put it above the mean of like but bellow the extreme of destructive obsession.

How does it show itself?

Lots of ways depends on the individuals involved and the situation.

How does it change a person?

It doesn't necessarily have to change one, but it can and again it depends on the individuals and situations.

How does it change your preception and your ideas of another person?

Again it doesn't have to but may and how depends on too many other variables to cover with a quick answer to a non-specific scenario.

What about love for other than persons? Pets? Countries? Books?

It's just that, love for things other than another person can be just as intense.

Is all love monogamous?

Of course not, yet many people over romanticize themselves into thinking it must be.

Can you love only one? (at a time, or in your life)

Of course not, one can love many different people and things all at the same time. I love my relatives, my husband/owner, my friends, my cat, etc. They don't have to take turns. lol

Is crime passionel a sign of love, or of love dead?

huh? again my understanding of it fits into the definition of temporary insanity...not some cop out defense for getting away with murder because one was too jealous etc.


What causes crime passionel?

Poor self control, chemical imbalances, overwhelming situational parameters.

Does society support the idea, and, if so, why?

Support the idea of what exactly? Killing the guy who just killed your loved one? Or skipping out of jail after killing a lover who cuckolded one?

Or did it, and is now changing attitude? If so, is that ok?

Again I ask you to please be more specific in what exactly you mean by a crime passionel?

Do you think it is understandable/ok to kill the loved one?

Not unless its to put them out of their misery from a terrible illness etc and they are consensual.

Or to kill for love in other situations?

Avenging the death or rape of one's loved one when catching the individual responsible in the heat of the moment? Yes.

Can you have a D/s relationship if there is also love?

Yes though it is not necessary despite how much most people seem to want it to be.
