    Matt,

    First I think it's logic to associate sex with love. But I also mean
    love for your parents, your family, for good friends, maybe even for
    nature. I personally love philosophy too. I am actually pondering about
    two things here:

    - the definition of love (maybe that is why all artists are so inspired
    by it, simply because they can't define it. This makes the parallel with
    Quality very obvious).
    - as said, how love fits into the MoQ.

    Seen in this light, I believe love might be something like the echo of
    quality. Something possesses a certain type of quality to you (eg your
    parents possess biological and social quality, your friends possess
    social quality, nature possesses biological and intellectual quality,
    and philosophy possesses intellectual quality - **these are just
    examples and might NOT be true**), and you react on that by loving it.
    It's what you care about.

    Matt said:
    I'm thinking of Pirsig's discussion of
    "care," (from ZMM) particularly as he describes it as the opposite side
    of
    the coin from Quality: two sides of the same thing.

    That explains it, right?

    Forgive me if I'm wrong.
