Would a child feel love for his mother when he meets her tomorrow; suppose he’d be meeting her for the first time?

Or, will he merely love her because it is expected of an offspring to love its parents?

Doesn’t a person that genuinely loves another, do so because there are memories, recollections that one wouldn’t have with a stranger, that the love is a by-product of?

That is to say: isn’t love, like all emotions, nothing but a state of mind?

Generally speaking, he who claims to be in love with a she he just met, is merely lonely, horny, or, at times, both.

(I am yet to hear of someone who shed tears as a result of a stranger’s passing.)
