"Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy
I
don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love."—The Beatles
Can money buy us love? There is no simple
answer. If love is like religion, then it cannot be bought nor negotiated. If
romantic interaction is similar to a commercial transaction, then love can be
bought and can be negotiated—and compromised. Love seems to be similar to both,
but identical to neither.
Avishi Margalit describes two pictures of
politics: as economics and as religion. If politics is viewed as economics, it
is entirely subject to compromise and exchange. If politics is viewed as
religion, there are aspects that must be considered sacrosanct and on which we
must never negotiate or compromise. Margalit argues that economic life is based
on substitution—one good can be replaced by another. Accordingly, there is
ample room for negotiation and compromise in economic life.
Is love similar to religion or to
economics? It seems that in different aspects, love is similar to both religion
and commercial behavior.
In many respects, romantic love resembles a
kind of religion. They are similar in that they dictate basic beliefs, demand
fundamental moral standards, and bestow high personal value upon their objects.
The basic assumptions underlying the Romantic Ideology—it is characterized by its comprehensive and uncompromising
nature—can indeed be found in many monotheistic religions. Not unlike the
function of religion, love is considered to give meaning to life, to overcome
all obstacles, and to offer a share in eternity. One's beloved is often
characterized as "the sweetest angel in heaven or on earth," or as a
"divine gift." The beloved is perceived to be a perfect person whose
existence cannot be comprehended.
