Why does a person love his friend or spouse; isn’t that love genuine?

Love has two meanings. Both are verbs, but one is a state of being and one is an action. If you are familiar with dikduk terminology the first would be a ???? ???? and the second a ???? ????. The first is an emotion, the second, while it may be caused by the first, is not.

So, to reiterate my position, as I understand it I see no reason to think people are born with any inherent good intentions or bad ones either for that matter.

*If anyone has just judged me as being chauvinistic you obviously have not read my entire post, in context.
