I do agree in some respects and don't in others..
I love my children just the same and at the same degree.
But for friends and lovers, I think this holds true. You may love many of your friends but never at the same degree they are all different and you have different traits that you love in each. Some more than others.
As far as lovers or ex lovers go, I think the above holds true. I love my kids dad because he is their dad and my true love I love him for something totally different..talk about 360 degree difference. This was a good question and tricky...

IT may get boring but then again can true love of the real and rare kind ever get boring? Not if it's true in my opinion. Love falls apart when it isn't equal at least in my experience of, until now, having relationships that one side felt more than the other. To have true love and love to an equal degree does not mean that love will get boring or be too perfect to me. It means that you are connected in one of the most powerful emotions that has ever existed- giving you strength that you need to get through tough times with that person. It doesn't mean you will never argue or have problems, it just gives your love a better chance of coming through them together reasonably.

I'm the woman, so I think it's nice to know if my partner would love me more than I do. I do believe that we can love at each other but in different degree. Since, there are things that we can't just give up for that person. If we both love each other at the same degree then the relationship might be too perfect and in the long run it might be too boring to continue the relationship.

This is a true statement. There is a level of degree that you can love anyone at any given time. I love my husband, but I also love an ex-boyfriend that I had over 20 year ago. My husband has my heart, my desire, my soul and everything that a spouse should have, but the ex-boyfriend brings fond memories of time we shared, things he has taught me etc. You can love someone, without being in love with them.

You are right, no people are the same. You love each because you find some qualities in them that you like. Thanks for the response. You have a great day =)

i believe that love has no boundaries, no matter how corny it sounds, it's true. you can never put love in a cage, loving is something you often let grow, not on only one pot but on different pots. you can love many people on the same degree but is located at different chambers of your heart.

I'm not so sure about that... I don't think I can quantify and therefore represent in any degree how much I love my family or my boyfriend and I can't choose among them whom I love most. So doesn't that mean I love them all in the same degree?
Thanks for the comment on my discussion!

i dont want to think about this... har har har. this is a headache. there will come a time that you have to choose only one and it will get much harder. someone eventually will get hurt and you will be guilty. so just love one at a time. so everybody is happy

nah, i don't think so, you can't love two people romantically at the same time, because when you say you are "in love" you give your all, and if you love at the different degree, then there's this no. 1 and no. 2 and i suppose the no. 2 won't get everything he/she needs, so it's not love.

this all sounds good and the degree thing i can relate to but to be sure if you really love one person much less two is a hard one. i dont know love is complacated
