What is your definition of "love"?
Have you ever been in love?

I think love is the strong desire to make someone happy
and the indomitable determination to do anything to do so.
In that sense, fortunately or unfortunately,
I have never met a woman that I want to be in love with.
Because of this, I can devote all my attention to my own life.
