Love

Pompous world

It is love that makes the planets orbit the sun
It is love that makes photosynthesis possible
It is love that makes space and time form a 4-dimensional continuum.
It is love that makes the speed of light constant
It is love that accounts for the evolution of man
It is love that makes the state of a particle representable by a vector |φ(t)> in a Hilbert Space.
Love accounts for everything.
Love

Congratulations, Einstein. You've discovered unified field theory!

....or not.

I dug what Dr Sax said in Kerouac's book of the same name-
You'll stare at a quivering wall of flesh and struggle to explain yourself, that is love Dr. Sax was explaining the Faustian bargain that growing up was going to be to a kid.

I went to go check if I got the quote right and I found this (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0972973303/104-7456635-8499952?v=glance&n=283155).
Sweet crap I want that soooooooo freaking bad. I wonder if it's too late to ask for christmas presents....

Love is just the way we measure how much we want to have sex. It's biological

Really? I love my mother, but I don't want to have sex with her.

I also loved my dogs but I never wanted to have sex with them.

Love may be biological, but it's certainly not all about sex.

Mother would make me lay with her when she had her special orange juice!

I want to have sex with your dogs. But that might be personal problem...

No, I don't want to have sex with your dogs...

So... where's the proof behind all this theorising?

if love is everything then we can blame everything on love

curse you love for crashing wall street

curse you love for spreading aids

if laws are love and law is a necessary evil and sex isn't love then sex is what is the good in the world in its purist form without love there can be no sex without sex there can be no love

therefore you are wrong

*cold, unemotional facade crumbles*

*runs out onto street shouting with joy and hugging happy children*

*gets arrested for paedophilia and is locked away for life*

*cold unemotional facade is restored*

Ah, the circle of life.:)

"Even if I can speak in all the tongues of both men and angels, but not have love, I am no better than a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

"Even if I have prophetic powers and understand all the secret truths and mysteries, and possess all knowledge, and have faith that moves mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

"Even if I give everything I have to the poor ... but have not love, I gain nothing.

"Love endures long and is patient and kind. Love never envies and is not boastful.

"Love is not concieted, rude or unmannerly. It never insists on its own rights or its own way because it is not self-seeking, touchy, fearful or resentful.

"Love takes no accounting of the evil done to it and pays no attention to any wrongs it may suffer.

"Love does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.

"Love bears up under anything and everything that comes and is always ready to believe the best of every person. Love's hopes never fade under any circumstances, and it endures everything without weakening.

"Love never fails, fades out or becomes obsolete. Any prophicies I may make will either be fulfilled or not, but will definitely pass away. All the tongues I may know will eventually be destroyed and cease. Any knowledge I may have acquired will eventually pass away and lose its value.

"So faith, hope and love continue, these three. But the greatest of them all is love."

I think when it comes to discussing love, the word "love" should not be used because it is so imprecise. My suggestion would be to use the Greek terms "agape", "eros", and "filia".

If you require definitions and distinctions for the three terms, I can provide them. I will say that I found the dictionary unhelpful with coming up with meaningful definitions.

IMHO, "love" is a decision. However, when you break it down into the Greek, I think both "agape" and "filia" are always decisional, whereas "eros" is not always. :D

simply love is evil and only wants to spread suffering everywhere that is why bad things happen to those in love but they don't realize it because love has blinded them to the world in its ultimate form love is a suicide bomber who thinks the cause is right but really he is just blinded with his own love or the man who comes home to his wife to find her in the arms of another man yet still loves her even though all hope is lost Love is the antichrist of loyalty

hope that answers your question

I don't know if it was a question so much as a desire for puncuation.

king saul fell on his sword when it all went wrong,
and joseph's brothers sold him down the river for a song,
and sonny liston rubbed some tiger balm into his glove.
some things you do for money and some you do for love love love.

raskolnikov felt sick but he couldn't say why
when he saw his face reflected in his victim's twinkling eye.
some things you'll do for money and some you'll do for fun,
but the things you do for love are going to come back to you one by one.

love love is going to lead you by the hand
into a white and soundless place.
now we see things as in a mirror dimly.
then we shall see each other face to face.

and way out in seattle young kurt cobain
snuck out to the greenhouse, put a bullet in his brain.
snakes in the grass beneath our feet, rain in the clouds above,
some moments last forever, but some flare up with love love love.

<snip, mushy "love">
So, basically, love is a loser that never does anything active in and of itself, but instead waits apathetically for someone else to fix the world's problems. Then, when all is right for the world, love "rejoices" and steals the credit for the actions of others; by inflating its own self-worth it pretends to be the corner stone of everyone else's accomplishments.
Though Love "never insists on its own rights", showing a most heinous cowardice, it is glorified as the central aspect of life.
To wit, Love is shit.

Love is for the emotionally weak....(That's what I say when I'm bitter, which is like 99% of the time. When I'm not bitter, I say "Love at first sight may sound trite, but it's true, you know. I could list the details of everything you ever wore or said or how you stood that day." OR "When you cycled by, here began all my dreams..." Just ask Morrissey about love.)
