    GertJan:

    Thank you for this wonderful contribution, I fully agree.

    Perhaps as in what I said before; where I called love the 'echo' of
    quality:

    WILLY:
    Seen in this light, I believe love might be something like the echo of
    quality. Something possesses a certain type of quality to you (eg your
    parents possess biological and social quality, your friends possess
    social quality, nature possesses biological and intellectual quality,
    and philosophy possesses intellectual quality - **these are just
    examples and might NOT be true**), and you react on that by loving it.
    It's what you care about.

    Mhm I like what you say but I believe it might have to be differently
    formulated. Can you love something undefinable? I must say, apart from
    the fact that I do love DQ (hey, I answered my own question :) ), I also
    tend to 'hate' SQ. I fully realise that SQ and DQ depend on each other
    blablabla but I speak of S'Q' as in terms of religion (self-sustaining
    blackmail). But hey, let's not go off-topic here.

    You make me see! I suddenly realise why it's so hard to fall in love
    (yeah I'm desperate :P ) although it seems perfect. I forgot the dynamic
    part!

    But now let's come to a part of your post that somehow attracts me.

    GJ SAID:

    A love affair I had - and I hope some of you recognize this - ended in
    not such a nice manner, I kissed someone else and she took it very
    seriously. As I did, by the way. But we loved each other! It's now one
    and a half years ago and I believe I still love her. We conversate once
    in a while and I dare say she still loves me. So although there are no
    more static patterns available to us (we are not dating anymore) we
    STILL love each other. I'm not sure of that but for the sake of the
    debate - a little fiction is OK. Now the fact that I kissed the other
    woman was a pure breakthrough of DQ: I was sick of the static patterns
    in our relationship and had no guts to stop them in any other way.

    *I seem to be excusing myself for my actions*. >> but hey, I'm only
    seventeen years old and I have a long way to go. Give me some room for
    mistakes ...

    Now let's not make this discussion run about personal stuff about wrong
    relationships etc., but let's get on philosophically.
