"What We Talk About When We Talk About Love." by Raymond Carver.

What Do You Expect? When I think about what love means, it only brings about confusion. Love is the most abstract of all our emotions.

Why you are seeking these emotions? If one is conscious of the reasons why one does things then a higher level of consciousness will be achieved and a more meaningful level of emotions can be attained.
