i didn't invent it, so i'm theorizing, too. certainly, biochemical processes can be determined and measured during biofeedback of love, hate, etc. but i think what's being measured is the RESULT of those emotions, and not the CAUSE of them. And, true, 'love' serves a lot of mundane, automatic responses. but i think you may be aware of divorce rates/fatherless homes in the news enough to know that there's nothing biochemical urging a parent to return to a child's life. :)

I still think love CAN be 'all-powerful', but maybe just isn't viewed as it, believed to be, or exercised often enough at the times it's needed most. but those shortcomings seem, to me, to reflect more on the 'vessel' than on love itself. imho. :)
