San Diego, Academic Computer Center Lines: 11 Summary: chuq/laurie (?) asks "what is love". Part of my definition comes from Ayn Rand's philosphy and runs as follows "Love is a spiritual response to the pleasures one receives from the virtues of another." This idea will possibly displease those who believe that love cannot be defined in absolute terms, prefering to believe that love is something chemical rather than intellectual. Then too, I have never been able to understand those who made the claim that they could "love" someone yet not "like" them. Bruce Jones
