I believe the purest form of love is between mother and child. I also believe that the type of love women and men have toward one another is real, but for necessity, for reproductive purposes. I believe the only reason men and women will love one another is because in the very beginning they had lustful attraction...pheromones and all that stuff. I've never loved another person the way I loved my mother then the way I loved my children...it is natures purest form of love. We here of mothers sacrificing themselves for their children all the time. Even animals in the wild will resort to their own death for their offspring. We hear of one fatal conclusion of love in a Shakespeare play, but is it realistic? I don't think so....if so it's obviously very rare.

When I think of love I compare it with outside sources like nature and history. In nature it's for reproduction and in history it was for survival. With today's convenience we attempt to mold the meaning of love and understand it, but ultimately it's the same meaning but much easier to get and even easier to lose.

I hope this all makes sense.
