Tanya you make a very cogent discussion about this topic. It seems one desires love and to most people some type of love is a necessity. In fact if you are to live truly as a human you need love from someone. It seems it is much easier to give love than to receive it. If someone touches us in a certain way they extract feelings from us. The greatest feeling is love an when you feel good about someone you can interpret those feelings as love, but it seems to me everyone's definition of love varies. I think many people search for it all their lives and are not always aware of finding it. Romantic love can be misconstrued so that you see only the good in a person. This is not a bad thing, but it's when you see the not so good in someone and still feel love for them that you grow and really experience the full nature of the gift of love. I hope I have given you a better idea of my way of thinking.
