What Is Love?

Love is not fully love unless it is enduring, disinterested and loves the other for his or her own sake. This view of love makes it impossible to say why we love one person rather than another. The conception of love as fundamentally unconditional has become stuck in a time warp at the same time as tudes to the practice of love have become vastly freer. I am going to park the matter of how human love came to be seen as our new god, and return to the question, is love definable?
