I disagree. In some cases, they DO.... at least fairly well.... and you don't have to know someone completely to love them.
I mean, for instance, my best friend and I don't share anything emotional or deeply personal with each other, we only talk surface things but she says she loves me, am I to assume she is lying then?
you can also love strangers, just because you are a decent person and love other people. You can love a teacher for the impact they have had on your life. I don't think love should have limits, that's kind of my point in all this. Love is love... and the world needs more of it, not less and limited versions of it.
