What is human love?
My definitive approach to understanding love:

Love is the evolution of egoism thus altruism.
It is the assumptive figurative icon, in which it exists not as an emotion, but a feeling.

Our own individual deficiencies, develop mass, that which, develop a magnetism of oppositional gravities. Our exuded love is a result of fulfilling our deficiencies, thus being an objective of self-interest.

The development of altruism persists once the assumed deficiency no longer exists, thus following the realization of an inept surplus of selflessness, to the point that, our own existence is for the 'sake' of love.

But, the fallacy of which, is the 'sake' of love.

For:
"It is not the gem, I've grown to love, but it is the very love for the gem that I have become comfortable with. When the gem is taken away, I am dealt with apathy."

The sickness is conditional, due to the lack of exuding love, it exemplifies a realization, that the gem isn't the controller of the situation. Merely, it is the face of the illusion of one's own self-interest.

So, to define love, I can only tell you, it begins with the welfare of self, then another. May it be conditional or not, it will define your awareness for whatever, "why the 'sake' may be".

Thanks for the blog, Brian. A few things I disagree with:

To describe Love as the "constant evolution of egoism, thus altruism" would be a fallacious label of its own. It was described it as a 'constant evolution', while, having both egoism and altruism existing simultaneously. This is a problem, since, altruism is considered to be the anti-thesis of egoism--altruism: the state of selflessness. If you re-define Love being the 'final product' or 'outcome' of evolution via egoism, then, your statement of "constant evolution" collapses. Moreover, I agree that love--in absolute form--may not be described as an emotion, but, following that logic, one would be inconsistent to describe it as a "feeling". Following these two fundamental definitions, I find the rest of the article encountering the same problems.

Nevertheless, thank you for sharing your innovative ideas on such a profound subject.

I removed the word constant.

But, you didnt read this correctly. I didn't write it to say that they coincide.
Because it is an evolution, one becomes the next.

Also, I didn't want to really say it isn't an emotion, but instead, I just wanted it to be redefined, "relabeled", as a feeling.... to get the reader into a different state of mind.
