Hi,
Do all of the above sound right and mean about the same to you? Thanks.

Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

No way to tell.  What is 'it'?  Can you put these into more meaningful sentences?

Thanks, Mister.
If it refers to something between two persons, and it is even now, do all of the base sentences make sense?

Hi Angliholic

Assuming I understand the intended context correctly, I'd say that you could use any of those. (The use of 'regard' would sound more formal.)

Sorry, but I still don't see it.  These make perfect sense:

I see us as even.
I consider us even.
I regard us as even.
