   We use the same word for too many different things. The ancient Greeks knew better, they had 4 different words describing different types of “love”. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_words_for_love

   The word isn’t complicated. We are complicated. Our affection is plain for things, more nuanced for animals and experiences, and resembles a bowl of spaghetti when there is a chance it could be returned by somebody else who, we must presume, is as flighty and uncertain about what that means as we are. It’s the dance of the waterdrop on the red-hot mirror. Do enough of it and you end up lost in fog.

   Cary and Pete are spot on, but it wouldn’t be complicated if we didn’t think about it so much. I mean, children and dogs don’t analyze every nuance of love, they just do it. Bitter fruit, that tree of knowledge produces.
