I am not just talking about "in love " relationships. Between parent and child or siblings or friends. Would you kill for a loved one? If they were suffering from drug withdrawl in prison would you try and bring them something to soothe them?

love is nothing....NOTHING.. but a chemical reaction in the brain that forces you to make irrational and irresponsible decisions. love is the only reason why a mother would put her life at risk to save her child.... love has gotten us where we are today...the media toys with the idea of love and makes the equation love=sex....we are all victims of love and even though it forces us to do things we would not normally do it also gives you a reason to wake up in the morning...
i admire the one who is completely self-sufficient... for they do not pressure themselves and do not allow others to pressure them, they do things because they want to and not be cause others want them to, they never comprimise, they get what they want, they are free! but is being free really that much better than having someone that you know will be there for you when you stumble? it seems to every question worth asking there is no real answer just another question...

Do not bring drugs to the prisoner! That is not love, it is co-dependence and enabling. And while I do what I can to support and nurture the people I love, I avoid the actions they may want from me that I think will cause harm.
Yes, I believe I could kill if my children were in acute danger.

Let's define DO
and
Let's define LOVE
When you do something you decide first. Then, according to that decision, you act. If you DO NOT decide, you have decided not to think and you act accordingly. To do anything right we must know how to differentiate between right and wrong, between just and unjust, good and evil, real and unreal. We have only one tool at our disposal to do this: our critical faculty, i.e. our ability to reason.
To be moral we must know the difference between good and evil. Good is everything that helps one to live and helps one to improve one's life. Evil is everything that is irrational and therefore does not help living, or improving anyone's life.
We all have different values. Some are rational, some are irrational. The one rational value that determines all the others and that is above all the others is life. You cannot reason with someone who does not value his or your life! The quality of life is the sum total of all the other values. If one is sick and is terminally ill, his value for life may diminish. If one suffers tremendously with no hope of recovering, he may even rationally wish to end his life, since life is the source of pain and nothing else, and as such, life has lost all its value.
Now let's turn to LOVE.
To love is a transitive verb. This means that there is always an object after love. Love without object makes no sense. Love means value, giving value. I love only what I value. Life is something we all value, so we love life. If I am taught as a child to love God, I value the idea of what I was told God is: peace, pleasure, undertsanding, comfort, affection, compassion, happiness, bliss, etc. Notice that in speaking of God we have to substitute the word God (an idea) with a bunch of other ABSTRACT words without a real concrete object to love. But here on earth, when we say we love something or somebody we mean a REAL thing or person. If we value a beautiful car, we can say we love it; if we value and admire someone, we can say we love that person. We feel happy and excited with someone, if it's mutual, we spend our life together in love. When we love someone and we must make a difficult decision, it is important to review what we mean by DOING and what we mean by LOVE.
Our actions depend on our decisions and our decisions depend on our reasoning and our concepts of what we think is moral. In some circumstances it is moral to kill someone, if we must defend our life. In some circumstances it is moral to help a person die, if that is what the person wishes. To go against the law, even if the law is immoral, is a personal decision one has to make by considering everything, including if one is willing to pay the unpleasant consequences of one's action.

My understanding is that since love is mostly an emotion, "doing something for love" would just happen whether you want it to or not. If you love someone and are in a position to protect him or her from danger, what you do isn't always so rationally realized. A lot of it is instinct. It's not really a fair question.

There is really no such emotion as love. In prison they get all the help they need if they want the program.

No, I don't agree with "doing anything for love." Unless wisdom is used, there can be problems encountered.

I don't really agree with it, but, I'd do it anyways.
