love
What is love?
and what is the difference between romantic and non-romantic love?
ah, yes, I misunderstood. romantic love is complicated and often a projection, like you said, but love doesn’t need an adjective once its the kind of bond one has with family, especially once a child is involved—but I suppose I can’t speak for everyone.
how would you define love? What do you think it is?
now, it’s not intellectual at all for me; it’s connection; it’s understanding; it’s responsibility; it’s care; it’s totally different than ego; it’s not about personal fulfillment, but rather alignment of purpose towards building independence and differentiation
something like that
