doea love boost ego's? hmm, i never really consider this aspect of love, i just always figured that love completes a vast majority of an individual: their desire for sex, their emotional need for connection, etc.....
it is already a given that lust boost ego's, and although lust sometimes coincide with love, i do not think a relationship firmly planted in love would boost an ego....for love, true love, is simply that pure metaphysical connection between two people, the highest feeling anyone could ever ahieve, and although that is something to be egotistical about, if it were indeed true love such feelings would merely be the afterthought, hence sometimes never considered, of love......
so perhaps love, true love, does not, or at least should not boost ego's; however, i would be a fool to say that they do not......
