Rick and all:

I don't think that romantic love implies 'jealousy and fear and other base
emotions' anymore than I think that compassion implies hypocrisy (as some
have suggested).... Moreover, I don't think compassion *needs* to be
'intellectually realized' at all, as I have said, I think it exists quite
comfortably on the social level.

I think compassion and love are born in the social level but are also
essential dimensions of all growth beyond that. It opens and grows. Wilber
talks about the various levels of compassion in some detail - and it is
discussed as a part of our spiritual nature, which I think is right on. Its
one of the areas Pirsig doesn't discuss explicitly and so I find Wilber
quite helpful.
