Fantastic topic. Umm...I read once that there are three kinds of love. Eros, Philia, and Agape. Eros: Normal, common 'love', like when your friend gets a new boy/girlfriend that have a nice relationship, but not 'in love'. Philia: "Brotherly love". This can be the kind of love between really good friends, where you care about them, but again, aren't 'in love'. Agape: A very serious love, where the person would do almost anything for the other. It can be 'soul mate' type love, but also things like a mother and her child. There is no doubting a mother would die for her baby.
That's really all I know. Philia isn't trivial, in fact it can be pretty serious, but there's no attraction like in agape.
Someone I knew last year made a very interesting statement on love. (this relates to love vs. lust) He said that when you care about someone, it doesn't mean anything if you just say 'i love you' but do not do anything to consummate that love, as in a kiss or lovemaking, etc. Here that is not lust, because the actions stem from a beginning feeling of love. I always remember this because loving is really about showing it, not saying it. "All talk and no action" is no way of proving anything.
Make any sense?

Though this is an older post, I wanted to say something at least... Call it a meager attempt at initiation?
I've got mixed feelings about it. The love between 'lovers', to me, seems quite chemical. There are plenty of hormonal imbalances that can cause symptoms that people associate with the "soul mate" magnetism, including obsession. Triggering the imbalance is the fun part. I don't believe in soul mates, only in compatibility. From there, I suppose things could escalate.
Love between family members and friends, I was thinking, can be perceived in endless ways. Some like everyone else here was saying, some different. Scattered thoughts, my brain meats are having difficulty keeping up with my anxiety to portray the point well x_x;.
A deep form of selfishness could explain some aspect of it. Having the comfort of a familiar environment (in this case, concerning individuals) and maintaining it creates a willingness to defend it. Fear of change in losing the individuals, and no longer having their entities to themselves, causes concern and greif. Animals, like elephants, have shown behavior emotionally similar to ours. I wouldn't be surprised if our innate instincts adapted with the rapid change in human lifestyle.
These are just thoughts I was entertaining, though. I don't feel solidly set to them, and there are just as many aspects they do not cover as well as the ones they do. Hmmm. I'm a little tired.
