first of all, we must examine whether love is an emotion, or chemicals, or a decision. once this is established, the question is : is it a choice that you can make? and if you can allegedly "force" yourself to love someone that you deem unworthy of your love, can you in fact, choose to not love someone? i believe that it goes that every action must have an equal and opposite reaction, so, if you can choose to love someone then you can choose not to love someone. there really is no question about it , if this is not an option, although i find it hard to believe that one could say... my mother loves me, and takes care of me, but i am going to decide not to love her back, just because. so, is it choice? or is it involuntary?
