The love is feeling which is not subject to some accurate, impartial criteria. Paraphrasing the great poet, it is obviously not that case when it is possible "to believe algebra harmony". She does not submit to either reason, or even an elementary instinct of self-preservation. For the sake of love the greatest feats and the greatest villainies were made. Whether it is so possible to measure it?
Instruction
1. Many people are sacredly sure and claim: if you really love the person, then is ready for the sake of him for everything! True! But are confused when ask them the specifying type questions: "Including, on any meanness, on the most awful, nasty crime?" They immediately begin to specify: it is not necessary to take their words so literally. "On everything" - reasonably, of course! And in what limits? How to calculate this "rationality"? By what criteria to be guided?
2. The elementary logic prompts: when the person for the sake of darling is really ready for everything, without any restrictions, it is not love any more. Animal passion, excessive instinct of the owner, mad delusion, at last, but only not love!
3. Just the same conclusion can be drawn when demand too much from darling, wishing that it brought nearly every minute evidence of love, and to it nothing is wanted to be given in exchange. It already borders on obvious egocentrism in especially started degree. Here also does not smell of love.
4. Thus, and 100% of return and 0% of return equally mean lack of love. So how many, speaking to mathematical language, "percent" confirms its existence? Perhaps by the rule of "golden mean" - 50%? That "neither ours, nor yours"?
5. No, not so everything is simple. "Golden mean" means more likely firm friendship, sincere attachment. When it is simply pleasant to communicate with the person when you are connected by common interests, views, beliefs. But, you see, friendship – very worthy quality, for the sake of it much can be offered, but nevertheless it is not love.
6. With the known degree of probability, it is possible to assume that if the person really loves, then in his system of priorities "return". That is readiness to make for the sake of an object of the love concessions, difficulties, even big risk, will fluctuate somewhere between 60% and 90%. Such person really loves, he is ready for the sake of darling for a lot of things, but at the same time does not forget about common sense and responsibility for all the words and acts, does not allow love to obscure the head finally.
7. Size less than 60% demonstrates that he tests to the partner more friendly, than love, feelings, and size more than 90% - that the love, most likely, regenerated in delusion.
