I think you hit upon the core issue, Diamond. There are several kinds of love mentioned in the Bible, two of which are Eros and Agape. Eros refers to sexual "love" while Agape referes to brotherly love. Agape is selfless, and this is Sam's love for his master. "Love is not selfish, love is kind, love is patient, love does not envy . . . " to paraphrase a little!
