Hi Magnus!
Maybe it depends on what kind of love we are talking about. The wild
irrational love in youth gives way to a deeper more profound love with
maturity, if we're lucky. What I find interesting is that many intellectual
discoveries also occur in youth and mature with age. Again, perhaps just a
matter of loving what you do.
