In a healthy society, with a healthy economy, there would be no “researchers of positive emotions”, much less “leading” ones. They would starve. I wonder how much the U.S. taxpayer got soaked for the research grant on this one.

Love is an attitude. And as any navigator will tell you, attitude is something you continually monitor and correct, so that you will stay on course. Love therefore is to be mindfully and willfully maintained, as you regard the beloved and set your course always toward and for her.

I stopped reading there. Unc-CH is a cesspool of insane thoughts.

It was an active, sacrificial commitment to others in one form or another, a much more permanent bond with eternal consequences. True romance and passion should be the natural result of that love; what we experience in the beginning of dating relationships is infatuation and sexual attraction, not actual love as understood before the modern age confused it. Those aren’t bad things in and of themselves, but a lot of people make themselves miserable by confusing them with real love, of either the eros or philos variety.

Yes, love in not an emotion, real love is an intellectual decision. It is the willful and intentional decision to place the welfare and well-being of another individual ahead of your own desires.
