Love - A History?

"Love Is a condition so powerful; it may be that which pulls the stars in the firmament. It may be that which pushes and urges the blood in the veins. Courage: you have to have courage to love somebody because you risk everything - everything." - Maya angelou I've often wondered about the kind of power that Love possesses, and about how love has transformed over the years. Not merely in the physical, expressive sense of it but also the depth; love has rather taken quite a transition over time. If you go to compare majority of relationships today with the Love sagas engraved in History, you'll soon realize and pick up certain differences in the level of depth, passion, power and intimacy, which seems to be going on a downhill in modern times.
