Reason is not some external power which dictates how we should behave, but an internal power, integral to who we are… Reason does not command that we love anyone. Nonetheless, reason is vital in determining whom we love and why we love them. (LaFollette, H., 1996)
What, if anything, justifies my loving rather than not loving this person?
What, if anything, justifies my coming to love this particular person rather than someone else?
What, if anything, justifies my continuing to love this particular person given the changes—both in her and me and in the overall circumstances—that have occurred since I began loving her?
To be continued... (That means there will be a part two.)

thank you for taking interest in my blog.
I have created a part two for this post, which should take the topic further.
