this line is a tough one to swallow, but i do get it, at least intellectually < It is my observation and belief that the people seeking to conquer, to destroy, to colonize, to subdue are really expressing their love. > ... and the comments you make about self protection hang together with it.

I read it as they are expressing their *desire* for love. I also have a hard time seeing how they are expressing love.

certainly they are expressing love of power. perhaps Tessa said that from a place of feeling/intuition more than from a place of clear understanding? which means we may or may not get an explanation from her articulating just how a conqueror cutting someone's head off expresses love. seems to me she sometimes says certain things because she likes the way it sounds or how it may indicate aspirations to a saintly/godly frame of mind.

how 'bout it Tessa? care to have a go at backing up that one? if not, i maybe able to help because there is indeed some truth in that statement.
