I just had a big discussion with my newly-wed friends about the connection between Intellect and Emotion. The main focus of the coversation seemed to come back to love over and over again. So I'll use it as the reference in the following questions.
Is Love Intellectual, Emotional, or both? In other words, can you chose to love someone or does it "just happened"? If it is both, which one preceeds the other? Do you chose to love someone then the emotions follow, or visa versa? Is there no decision at all? Why? If your stance is "just happened", please do your best to explain this.
Is there different kinds of love? If so, does the answer to the above change depending on with kind of love it is? Why? An example would be loving your wife/husband as opposed to loving your enemy. Ones a choice, ones not? Or both choices?
What do you guys think?
These questions do not only pertain to love, but Intellectual decisions versus emotions and emotional decisions in general. Love just seemed to be the major base of discussion in our converstation.
For personal reasons at this time, since I'm still heated from the debat. I'm going to hold off my opinions until a later time. I would really love to here your views and opinions on this subject.
