Subject: Re: Grandpa Andrew's Reflections on Marriage

I believe, and think that I have seen, that many people feel love very 
differently, and that it can work quite differently for different 
people, both in what is required to maintain it, and in whether they 
can feel it for more than one person at a time. Quite a few problems in 
relationships arise because of this fact, because one partner may 
assume that love works the same way for their counterpart as for 
themselves, and thus misinterpret their actions- mistrust their 
emotions.

Recent studies are beginning to detect what scientists believe are 
electromagnetic signs of that "in love" feeling in the brain, which is 
apparently differentiable from lust and other emotions. But this is 
just beginning, it will be some time before they can draw general 
conclusions and explore the full range of possibility of human emotion. 
    And there's a frightening though- what if your partner could put a 
hat on you and ask you if you are "in love" with them and the computer 
would tell them whether or not you're lying. Or maybe would that be a 
good thing? Hmmm.
