Love: Condition in which someone else's interests are *more* important
     to you than yours are.

In Love: Person A feels love for person B; person B feels love for 
     person A; by infinite recursion, both feel that the other's
     interests and their own are equally important.
/* ---------- */

Re defn #1: don't the other person's interests thereby become your own? This
induces a violation of type in my poor (Russell-stratified-type-using)
head.

Re defn #2: if one considers it as a feedback mechanism, isn't that
a positive feedback loop? (Perhaps there's nothing wrong with that...)
