So now you insult my judgement as to what love is? And you wonder why people are asking you to stop insulting people and calling them stupid because they do not share your narrow view of the way reality is?

I know love. I feel love. I love very many people and some animals. I can have the same feeling about someone completely opposite to me in every respect that I do for my spouse with whom I do share values. The only thing I do not feel for anyone else is that my spouse definitely is first in my heart of all the people I love. Why is this so strange to you?

Because we share values and physical attraction as well I chose to make this one person my mate and partner, but I also love other people - even though I might not want to live with them! So if you are claiming that I do not know what love is and would mistake something else for it, you are very mistaken. I'm sorry.

"Atoms are bound together by weak attraction. Why do we not admit that the universe is bound together with love?" Quote from someone famous, I forgot who though.
