I don't understand 'true love'.

If parental love is the epitome of love, my parents are vulnerable people limited by their own experiences.

(And I love them for that.)

Compassion probably is the ultimate highest value.


I keep coming back to this. Attachment is what keeps relationships going, but not what keeps them healthy. Attachment that is obsessive earlier in romantic attractions. Attachment is the flip side of the pain of losing; a family member, a good friend, a loved one. It has biological bases. The most highly valued form of love in our society is biological attachment.
