Thoughts on Love

This is mainly food for thought (haven't had time to really think about it yet, but I will soon):

1) What does it mean to give love?

2) What does it mean to receive love?

3) What kind of work does love require?

4) What are the intricacies of power dynamics in love? Especially in relation to patriarchy? How do these power dynamics keep us from love?

5) How does one use love as a tool for liberation and personal transformation instead of a passive drug?
