Soooooo, what % does each of those items have in fueling "Love" . . . not infatuation or eros . . . but self-less preferring the other one over one's self?

And how do the different components of high quality selfless love relate to one another? Where are those precise numbers? Where even are precise words about them?

Y'all insist that everything can be defined with precision by numbers--or it doesn't exist.

Yet, after several exchanges, you haven't even gotten remotely close to doing that about Love.

I haven’t said that at all. The measurements were just sarcasm directed to Cletus.

Love is the willingness to lay down your life for your fellow man. God is love.

Shakespeare probably says it almost as well.

That's because love is not a "thing". Just as anger, spite, jealousy, and any other emotion is not a "thing".

You're overthinking, Jocko. Dial it back, goodperson.
