OK, lets start with categories first. There is physical love (i.e. sex). There is loving someone, and there is being in love. Robert Heinlein had a definition for love in one of his books that I have found useful from time to time: "Love is that condition where the happiness of another person is a necessary condition for your own happiness." Chew on that for a while. -- Mike St. Johns Georgia Insitute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!msj StJohns@MIT-Multics.ARPA (404) 982-0035
