Because I just recently completed the anime series "Wolf's Rain", this image immediately came to mind. Lord Darcia, to the right, did everything in his power to save his beloved Hamona--even turning half of his body into that of a wolf. In the series, this makes him the villain, though such a bold deed makes him a much more complicated character in my mind. To love someone so much that you would even sacrifice your own body and future to do so could be considered extreme, but is also shows a side of love that many humans are no capable of feeling or understanding. Whether it is love for a particular person, place, or ideal, everyone should have something that they are willing to risk everything for. This is the feeling that trumps every evolutionary theory of human development and reproduction, yet this is exactly the kind of emotion that makes people unique and inspiring.
