I can't say if your take on love evolving into something that is more temporal in the current world is wrong or right, but it doesn't seem to me that the concept of love would evolve per ce. People have infatuations that they cannot distinguish from love all the time throughout their lives. They don't know they were infatuations until after the fact because i think love, by definition, is something that'll go on until death. That's probably one of the only things that separates it from an infatuation.

People just naturally don't want to think that love is something that can be temporal. Most people (note: not all people) strive for a partner that they can count on for the rest of their lives. They ARE, to a certain extent, defined by their partner at that point, and they're ok with that. It's wrong to be completely defined by them, and hardly anybody lets it get to that point if you really think about it. But it's no sin to let a portion of you be defined by somebody else, so long as it is in moderation. It's a very heavy sign of trust, probably the strongest.

I haven't seen Closer yet, and i really want to. I had planned to see it this weekend but saw Ocean's 12 instead. I might comment with more after i've finally gotten around to it.

I completely agree with your view on infatuations and how people find it difficult to distinguish infatuations from love.

I don't think it's a "sin," or that it's even necessarily the worst thing in the world to define yourselves by who you're with, I merely don't understand why people do that. I think it makes them seem so desperate and weak, and I personally cannot understand why someone would want to appear that way.

But anyhow, definately comment with your take on the movie when you go see it :o) I hope you enjoy it!
