I agree, to a point. Definitely doing that when there are no feelings involved is a great act of love. But I was not saying that love is all about emotion and feelings. I was saying it is a mixture. I think they go hand in hand, just like a car and a driver. acts being the driver; independently stable, working, useful. feelings being the car; independently useless and maybe even in the way, but with the driver provides faster, easier, more efficient method of getting around and is a personal improvement. I feel that my husband "loves" me even though there are no emotions on his part, however, that is a lot more likely to change in a minute versus on my part. I do agree love is different for sociopaths. but love to everyone else, is too complex to say it's an emotion. or it's a decision. or it's an act. or it's whatever. It is not one single thing. And I commend any person who doesn't "love" someone, but takes the effort to care for them and make them happy. That can be a great deal harder for some than what most see as love.
