    What is love?

    Ubi amor, ibi dolor
    Ubi dolor, ibi veritas
    Ubi veritas, ibi Deus
    

    I pose the argument that everything humans do is for their personal gain and that 'love' doesn't exist.obscurelaunting

    Mirror-faces of folly: love of wisdom / wisdom of love ...
    Love (at least in primates) begins as a cocktail of norepinephrine, dopamine & phenylethylamine that over time becomes a sedative-like compound of oxytocin & vasopressin. Thus, the biochemical 'triumph of imagination over intelligence' (at least in humans).

    I once replied to my sister who kept pestering me with the question "what is love?" with "Love is a chemical reaction". That's about all I could manage with me high school chemistry & biology (biology in college, oddly, never involved discussions/lectures on interpersonal chemistry).

    There's nothing you can do
    that can't be done
    Nothing you can sing
    that can't be sung
    Nothing you can say,
    but you can learn how to play the game
    It's easy

    Nothing you can make
    that can't be made
    No one you can save
    that can't be saved
    Nothing you can do, but you can learn
    how to be you in time
    It's easy

    There's nothing you can know
    that isn't known
    Nothing you can see
    that isn't shown
    There's nowhere you can be
    that isn't where you're meant to be
    It's easy

    On multiple-guess affiliation surveys I check the "None" box. If, however, when given a fill-in-the-blanks survey, I usually answer the affiliation question: ecstatic pandeist.

    :up: A stranger in a strange land, mon ami? Would you describe yerself as cosmopolitan (à la Diogenes the Cynic, but taken up a notch, a citizen of the cosmos; I tried, but failed ... miserably)?

    One response to the Euthyphro dilemma that I consider is satisfactory is, avoiding the trap Gg (god is good), g = Good.
