    Perhaps 'a' human, but it is uncertain what kind of human, unless you believe that all humans are the same. Being a human is not being humane, which 'generally' comprises of moral, ethics, compassion and the like.

    Love makes us human, because we are able to love (plus other animal species). It is a trait of a human, thus it makes us human if we practice it.

    Re: Love Is....

    Love is the willingness to meet life on its terms not ours!

    I will struggle with you life...I will stay with your precarious twists and turns....in my love for those you bless me with, I will stay with it all even to the depth of bleeding pain...for in this bleeding is opened the door to emotional empathy which is the death of self-centered separation and the birth of empathic sharing....
    In the suffering of love for a young life, I died with you and it gave me life and love.....

    'Ideally' that should be the case, however, normative views of emotions are very impractical. The actual fact is that love and any other human sentiments are manifested through our perceptions, not the perception and sensories of the emotions themselves.

    Thus we cannot, or perhaps are unable to see love at the level of 'things in themselves' and or absoultes. It's much like a law or statute, it is up to the judges and or jury to interpret it. Love on its own is rather useless, and its 'own' guidelines are broad and indefinite.

    Re: Love Is....

    Everyone has a capacity to love that is probable, possible and a potential..it takes flexibility to find the probable and possible and sheer will power to reach potential.
    This should not be an ideal..for a greater respect and ethical presence with all of life it should be a human pre-occupation....love is simply the highest power in the human equation...

    It "should" be, but unfortunately it never is.

    Being skeptical and critical of love is not an attribute of hate, and those two qualities are essential to the revelation of the TOE.

    Hi Zelta;

    Being skeptical and critical is good. However being cynical is not.

    Re: Love Is....
    Love is a fraud.

    'Fraud' is the result of a series of deductions, an act of skepticism.

    Well if I were you Zelta I would go back and review your deductive reasoning. What can I say: WRONG OBJECTIVE CONCLUSION. It may be your personal subjective conclusion however.

    Best,

    Pat

    P.S. Would you care to share your objective deductive reasoning which brought you to this conclusion?
