Don, from your subject heading, are you trying to obtain the status of Buddha? The 6 Perfections: 1] generosity, 2] ethics, 3] patience, 4] effort, 5] concentration, and 6] wisdom all seem noble to me. It is conspicuous that love is missing from the list. You seem to know and accept yourself, and have thought this out thoroughly. I can understand that love of another person need not be an essential part of contentment and worth. But though you so fervently deny feelings of love, the interest you have in this world and this species has me feeling loved.
