So many difficult questions. Here are some answers: 1) Not at all. 2) I'm not 
sure. Maybe Nietzsche is mainly refering to Platonic and/or Christian teachings. 
3) Here I am with Samuel Widmer, the Swiss psycholytic therapist, who wrote 
[m.o.p.a.t]: "Love is Nothing. Love is neither giving nor taking. Love is simply 
there, it does not obey, it does not command, it does not suffer, it is. Love is 
nothing, - and this is not a thought, but a perception of feeling, otherwise it 
is not real. Love is free, it lets free and it holds itself free. It does not 
bind, neither itself nor anything else. It stands alone and does not want 
anything more. Love is Joy, Love is Wideness, Love is nothing."

  Agreed.
