I don't know. Does the hungry man have the same love of food that a satiated one does? In the record of memory (or history), I can see the contextual predicates, but how much does that matter in the living present? Am I what I am now, what I was then, both, or neither?
Although I guess that having a relation is in itself a kind of love. One can go against the tide, with the tide, but in either case acknowledges and accepts the existence of the tide.
