Hitting me softly with his song? That is the only expression of love! Everything else is violence justified by lust and arrogance and relying on the infatuation of the other person. I feel myself getting angry thinking about the subject!

No. I don't believe any act of aggression can be considered an act of love. When you hit someone, it is out of anger.
-
it depends. i can see how people would say no, but it can be. My friend and i hit each other as an expression of affection.

Of course, especially when it's a child. You see, children are the property of their parents, and what few rights we grant them are a measure of our overwhelming LOVE for them : ) They have the right to the bare essentials: Food Shelter Clothing Medical Care Education The Right not to be Abused. All those other rights you hear about people having are just for adults, not innocent children who can't protect themselves, oh no, not at all. Beating children is compatible with love, apparently. ***** Now for my 'actual' answer. -N-O- NEVER. Physical violence =/= Love Love =/= Physical violence They are mutually exclusive.

No, I do not think it can ever be an expression of love. But it is not necessarily a denial of love, either. People who have difficulties in handling their emotions may strike out at those they love in frustration. Such people need understanding and, particularly, help.

It's not an expression of love, it's an expression of passion.

If being hit by someone is an expression of love, than I was trully loved to pieces when I was growing up!

In bdsm it can be love, depending if the couple engaging in it are in 'love', and even if they're not it can be in a strictly-bdsm sense. If not love, then respect and passion. Some masochists love being beaten and feel it's a positive expression from their sadist when they do. I know a married couple who have a dungeon in their basement and he beats her 3 times a week and she wouldn't have it any other way.
