"good day Stefan, I'd like a clarification on your definition of 'love'. As I understand it Love: is our involuntary response to virtue. How does that correlate to pets, very young relatives, and other relationships where virtue isn't the primary source. Is love only possible in intimate relationships? What do you call emotional distress when a death of a beloved pet dies? Obviously I'm not equating pets with people, but our emotions seem to treat them similarly. Not sure if there is an evolutionary or philosophical explanation that you can give but it seems to me that Love: is simply an evolutionary response to attachment based on resource gathering to include family structure. Again huge respect to your work, I'm just hoping to get more clarification on your thought process."
