It&#8217;s one of those knowledge by acquaintance things. It&#8217;s most certainly inarticulate. I disagree with Michael: it&#8217;s not only a primal emotion; love certainly does appeal to the higher faculties of the mind. I like to think that love (as we know it) is a purely human emotion.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, there are several kinds of love. (Trust Catherine to remember this after reading her cousin&#8217;s psychology textbooks. -_-;;) Infatuation and friendship&#8211;both are kinds of love, just expressed differently and to different degrees.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to try to define love, since &#8220;love&#8221; carries too many different connotations: &#8220;I love you.&#8221; &#8220;I love you as a friend.&#8221; &#8220;I love your writing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While at core it is a simple issue, we can&#8217;t see the forest for the trees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Ah yes.
