Why do you ask?

Robert A. Heinlein wrote that "Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."

I think love is very intense emotions focused on, or caused by a person, place, or thing. What is it to YOU?

Is "I love golf" the same as "I am married to someone I love"? Love is different for inanimate vs animate things.
