Today, my friends, I have a very short blog post for you—to wonder and ponder!
We all say we love dogs, and yet we spend most of the time changing them. We change their appearance and their natural behavior, domesticate, civilize, and humanize them. We neuter and sterilize, crop their ears, and dock their tails. We have a thriving industry and commerce of accessories and gadgets, and a zillion dog trainers to turn our dogs into something they are not.
How is that compatible with any definition of love?
Roger Abrantes 
“When we observe, we change” is a succinct way to express that observation is not a passive act but an active interaction that can influence what is being observed. This applies to animal behavior due to self-awareness and to quantum systems due to the fundamental nature of measurement.
Does the change produced means that we don’t love?
Hi Alex, I thought of quantum systems right after reading your first sentence. You pose an excellent question. We may need to look at a definition of love. I’ll contribute my own two cents to that in a blog I’m editing right now, “My Last Love Letter—We Love Too Much and We Love Nothing,” which will be available very soon. Keep in touch.
