Love is one of the most powerful and least understood motivators of human behavior. It has been the subject of philosophical and psychological analyses throughout the history of human thought. Superficial examination of the concept usually results in misunderstanding and self-deception. This complex topic warrants thorough investigation. Americans tend to develop skewed notions of right and wrong, good and bad, and love and hate based on their idiosyncratic experience. A rational exploration of the notion of love should enable most people to function at a higher cognitive level, with fewer emotional blinders so that they can work out for themselves their own ideas of love, friendship, community, family, eroticism, trust, care, concern, and selflessness.
