In my humble opinion that too is LOVE. Just acting on physical/emotional self. There is no duality. It is all one single stream with many facets in between. People find an aspect they are more comfortable with. Once they have experienced it in fullest without judgement then they are ready to move forward to the next level
I agree brother. Perhaps I was ambiguous with the notion, I will restate; many mis-interpret love as the concept of romanticism itself, not realising that all emotions of positive balance are indeed based upon the foundation of love. They then separate love from compassion, kindness, trust and integrity, viewing it only in terms of romanticism.
Ens - a fantastic quote.
The feeling of unity/connection is the force behind the generation of positive 'sub' emotions (distortions) such as compassion, trust, truth, kindess etc.
