Can you love everyone equally?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I had an interesting discussion with a woman about this. I believe I do love everyone equally, if just I "customize" the way I interact with them to suit their needs.
However, she was vocal and got quite upset about this - her reasoning is that it's impossibile to love everyone, and can be summed up as "loving everyone, to actually not caring about anyone equally".
What are your thoughts?

Romantic love is different from platonic love. For example, I love my mum and dad, but it is definitely not romantic. I would do anything for them. The same is with my friends. I love my friends, but I don't love them the way I love my parents, but I will do anything for them. I guess you could say I care about all of them, but in varying quantities

"Care" is a broader term which would fit a larger group of people we interact with, on a daily basis. I can care about someone, but not necessarily love them. I would do anything for people I love, but it is not the same for people I care about.

When I get married in the future, obviously, I'd love my partner, so I love AND care about them. I don't think I could love everyone equally. That sounds tiresome and quite frankly, not possible. There are different types of love, you cannot compare them with each other. It's like comparing apples and oranges. What similarities do they have except for the fact that they are both fruits? The same is with love. It is the same, but also different

I love everyone on different ways. Like the love I have for my sister compared to the love I have for my best friend are different. Love for my sister is like showing adoration with bickerings, like an enemy you can't stay without. Love for my friend is like showing adoration with roasting, a bit flirting, supportive and all those. I can't love everyone equally. I love everyone on different ways and on different level.

I believe that someone can convince themselves that they do. But it won't change the truth/reality/biology.

For instance, if someone were to study the brain of someone who believed they could love everyone equally, they'd probably find that their disgust centers in the brain would still light up less when seeing highly attractive & healthy looking people as opposed to ugly, deformed &/or diseased people.

And all of this is instinctively translated through our bodies. We might not notice a larger smile, more inviting body language, a change in tone, etc. But it's still going on! Even on the tiniest of scales. Which, due to the butterfly effect, can still have significant consequences.

NEVER tell a woman that you love her “equally”. Damn, how old are you now…. That vocal woman was best thing to ever happen to you. You love your woman most in an Ephesians 5 way…then kids… and everyone else including dog. I HOPE you got this down OR you are going to be one lonely ass boy.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I'm already married and I'm not interested in that woman. I love her as a friend and a human being, but not in a romantic way - never did.

Do you tell your wife that you love her equally as everyone else?

[Guy13]

Do you tell your wife that you love her equally as in same level as everyone else?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I don't tell her. I don't talk about those things with her.

I don't think it's possible, no. I think people are trying to take the concept of "equality" way too far, because the reality is that we will never be equal, and even if it were possible it would not be desirable.
