True, he mentions love. But he doesn't discuss it as part of MoQ, he
doesn't compare love to anything but its opposite (hate) and is
therefore not truelly discussing it. Now let's not define 'discussing
something' but let's look at the role love plays in the MoQ. The piece
you quoted is not part of the philosophical pondering but part of the
story about his (in)sanity. Simply because it contains the word love
does not mean it contributes to *this* discussion.
>Can a person be an artist and not love their art?
I will answer with another question. Can you be considered an artist by
others, but not by yourself? I sure believe so (eg 200 years after your
death). If you don't consider yourself as an artist then you won't
consider what you do (or create) as art. You will not have to love it.
>In my opinion, like Dynamic Quality, love cannot be defined, so there
is
>little use in analyzing it. Love just is.
Little use in analyzing it? Might just as well throw away RMPs books
then.
