I think the problem is that people have a misconception of what love is. They think it is some syrupy romantic fuzzy feeling or either hormones running rampant. Love is not so much a feeling as an action. Love is something you do. It is to easy to spout off pretty words and say I love you. Love is something you have to show, and I believe it is shown in ways most people do not recognize.

Again, Charlie, I have to agree. Instinct and instinct alone does not account for people risking their lives for someone else. I am talking apart from one's children. At the risk of sounding religious (I'm not particularly religious), a quote that comes to mind for me is, "Great love has no man than this, that a man will lay down his life for a friend."
