This is not just the feeling of love, it’s more the intention of love. Many feelings and emotional responses get attached to the intention that CBI is. But CBI is not reducible to those feelings or to the notion of emotional responses. Love inspires the manner and the means by which we pursue our goals and it determines how we evaluate our success, relative to our goals. Love shapes our human intentions and our motivations. Committed Benevolent Interest – describes so well the phenomenon of love, particularly love, not just for ourselves and one another, but for other living things in the world and even non-living things. Love consists as an essence precisely because there's commitment, there’s kindness and there’s a unique interest that is felt in relation to anyone or anything that we love. If you are committed to someone or something, coming from kindness is easy and accessible. And your interest in this person or thing is for their own well-being. When your commitment and your benevolence line up and move you to do certain things, you show great interest.
