i think *all* love is the same.
we love our partners, our children, our parents and siblings, all the people we love ... it's all the same love.
we just interpret and express that love differently in different relationships and situations.
the idea of "being in love" ... i think that's what happens when a fiar dose of lust is mixed in
one more thing about love: i believe we choose to love ... and we can also choose not to love. i do NOT think that loving or not loving is something beyond our control.
