LWE Chapter 4: Love is

I was contemplating the concept of love last night and reckon there are three reasons one person loves another:

1. For who the loved one is. 
We love people for their values, their ideas, their personality, their contribution to making the world a better place and so on. The attributes we love really are a reflection of what's important to us.

2. For who the loved one makes us. 
Everyone affects us and influences us and indeed changes us. We love a person for these changes we see in ourselves which are directly influenced by the loved one.

3. For the spiritual connection between us. 
There are less than a handful of people I feel connected strongly to on a spiritual plane. We could love someone we feel a bond with - a bond that has lasted beyond just this lifetime. Perhaps a soulmate or simply a soul companion we recognise from previous lifetimes or even alternate timelines.

Why do you love someone?

Your thoughts welcome here.
