Love and Altruism
Do you think Love and Altruism are synonymous? I'm speaking of love in its purest form.
I believe this is true. This definition covers all forms of "love" Love for a family member, love for a friend and love for a partner.

Re: Love and Altruism
I'd say most useful definitions of love include altruism, but you are perfectly capable of being altruistic with regard to things that you don't love.

Re: Love and Altruism
I find acts of altruism are derived from an individual gaining something from being altruistic. That is to say, an individual feels a pleasurable stimulus when they promote benevolent actions, so the whole idealogy of altruism is kinda paradoxial.
