I don't like true love as a concept because it implies there is untrue or false love.

The reality is that love is such a vague word to communicate such a wide range of human feelings of connection.

Unconditional love (Agape) is what I usually mean when I use the word love & is by definition without attachment. I feel unconditional love for all humans even when I'm saddened by the path that an individual has chosen. And yet when we use the phrase true love it is usually a feeling directed towards an individual & hence conditional. I know I'm being pedantic but I've thought about this often over my near 20 year marriage.

I think my definition of true love still includes the idea of a soul mate.

Thank you brother 💚🫂
