I did add "for me" in all/most instances in which I argued that love as a motivating force
does not work for me.
Since that didn't work, I'd be happy to hear what else would help make it clear(er) that I was talking about my personal preferences.
(and that's not a rhetorhical question; I should add that I'm ESL.)
Anyway, I still think what I wrote.
For me, love gets overused as a reason for actions/conflicts, to the point where it doesn't interest
me much these days.
