Love & Hate Anaylsis

Love is so much more in my opinion, and it is a little to black and white for my taste.

And can I ask you do you still agree with it yourself

Peace

Why try to define everything, you are aware you have feelings, dont rationalize everything, it is not a science experiment

Love is what you make of it, dont try to contain it

Peace

Ok I can understand that but would that not limit your understanding as you stick to generalizations and compromise, while for emotional experiences the being lost for words moments are in my opinion the most valuable. What better then to experience something beyond comprehension which is untouchable, unquantifiable, etc….

The purpose of communications is to enable the creation of understanding and therefor learning and progress, the moment progress occurs definitions need to be reshaped….

it is never done..

And before loves purpose could be defeated it must fist be thoroughly defined and this is something impossible therefor my answer is no.

Peace

@alien51: Can you give us examples of something you love and something you hate, and why? That’s the kind of thing I’m curious about. What do you hate a lot and why?

I think it’s hard to break up emotions into categories. I’d say “emotion” is a sphere, and feelings are blobs that can inhabit multiple regions of that sphere. to some degree we can influence the size/shape of those blobs – or maybe we’re changing our sphere . . . that’s a separate thread.

some feelings are larger than others. I kind of hate the very beginning of the cold showers I’ve been taking but I love the anticipation beforehand, the excitement while I’m in there, and the awareness afterwards. right now, I’d say Cold Shower fills a lot of my emotional sphere!

joking aside there is lots of stuff I misunderstand or am confused by, but I am having trouble thinking of something i’m actively hating. In part because of think of hate as an action, whereas love is an emotional reaction? I feel like I don’t devote any energy to hating anymore. I mean I think subsidies are pretty stupid but I don’t HATE em, you know?

So what do you consider it to be

haha, you are wrong and one day you will know, that is not an opinion but a fact.
ask anyone with children or a significant other.

“Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you I had no control over.”

Love is many things but a choice…. not very likely

“Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”

Robert Heinlein

And to hate reality….. that is not a good thing is it

Peace

Ive read it but as you might have noticed i dislike confinement

still searching for clues and answers is a good thing, it is my experience you will only get to know yourself if you are no longer afraid to explore beyond rationality because in the end it is the emotional experience which gives any value to being.

It will be love, and the more you give the more you will get, nobody still has figured out why but it is a stubborn myth and I tend to be a believer.

Peace

Ok so what do you expect from life aside from some material items, what do you believe are valuables when you are old and gray…

So Yes I believe the emotional experience to be the only true valuable thing I take with me, wherever I go.

The material items are convenient and sometimes just fun, for the rest,…. nothing

I did not say no rationality, I said in order to discover yourself you need to go beyond it as you are a person with emotions and those can not be viewed purely rational.

Peace

You can hide some emotions, to a certain level, no human is completely without emotion, which is a basic survival instinct.

You base your rational decisions on emotions, wellbeing, fear, comfort, etc….

Truth is an emotional value, there is no universal truth. and love is an emotional value so basically we agree ….

Peace

So there is no variance in truth based on culture or religion, region etc….
Truth as an emotional value definitely has a purpose, to base our decisions on….
to have all purpose defeated based on a believe is proving the point.
There are universal truths, as the laws of nature, but still they are under constant revision…
Then still I am curious of your definition of love as it still eludes me and I wish to understand

Peace

final thought before i turn off, I believe you think highly of yourself, while I also believe it is thought better suited for others as intended for its purpose.

Truth is not reality or can you swear there are no innocent people inside your countries prisons at this time?

Is there a true religion?

And for bitter truth and harsh reality of intoxication, ever been drunk… never went to bed with an ugly woman , but woke up with a few…..

And trying to define love takes more then wikipedia , but that is my believe.

I wish you well and I go to catch some ZZZZ

Peace
