Mary: "Hmm - my previous boyfriend had a more impressive answer, but I guess your definition is adequate. There is just one small point - can you define "like", and while we are on with it, the phrase "a lot" is rather vague too, can you quantify it?"
Paul: "*??**!!" |
And indeed, if Mary and I were having a
philsophical discussion about love and whether it is logically possible, we would have a tough job ahead of us. Fortunately, we just fell in love and didn't have to analyze it.
So if you just want to fall into free will and accept it on faith, then you certainly don't need to define it.
