It requires faith in some omnipresent objective definition of what's 'good' and what's 'bad', that also dictates which person is 'ment for you' that is simply unreasonable.

I see we may be working with 2 different definitions of "Love". I don't think that Love requires a higher ethical understanding or belief, but I see that your definition of love requires something that transcends human nature.
I don't know that humans *can* do something that transcends their nature, because then it would become part of their nature by the fact that they *could* do it.
I would like to say, however, that I really like the way you think Helm, and the way you debate. It's very well thought out and thought provoking.
