i would like to hear you expand on that thought a little more?

i am assuming that you mean the ability to love on command, and if you do what about love being blind?

also what of disadvantageous love, such as a woman for her angry, drunk and violent husband?

if love is willful, then couldn't she will herself to not love? that is not true since most women in that situation will stay until forced to leave. which is not advantageous, and people will twards the advantageous.

so love is not concious(did i spel theat rite?)
there is nothing so useless as being effcient at that which should not be done at all.
