Mantelope, that clip was funny and informative and now I question the foundations of love more than I ever have and can come up with nothing definitive. I still think love is what you make it, but maybe that is the easy way out because – then – what is not love is also what you make it.. I believe this is at the heart of relativism in general whereby our interpretations of meaning are key in allocating value to any particular phenomena. But, the alternative to this relativism for me is some sort of supposedly objective definition of what love is. Even if there was such a thing as an objective form of love. How would we know if we had found it? And who would have the knowledge and authority to correctly identify and describe it? I would argue: noone. Now, I don't know if I am an absolute relativist because I think that clearly, beating your wife should not be considered love. BUT, speaking from some sort of experience, love can get pretty damn twisted and although 'society' will tell you what love is and what it isn't, the heart knows things that the mind may never be able to comprehend.

It is all relative. Its all in how one perceives the actions of another, which is based on presupposed notions that are pretty much ingrained genetically, not really, but I hope that you get the point. Our perceptions of good and evil are based purely on our own culture. What is evil here is normal and an act of love there and vice versa. There is too much opinion and culture to go around to truly objectively define what is true love. Only you can decide that for yourself here in this time and in your own culture.
