LOVE: the Extensions, Philosophy of

Hunirata

I know the topic of concern here (somewhat) belongs to LCM; nonetheless, I just want to see how it gets to be treated here . There are just far too many talks about it anywhere here on this board that I’ve long been wondering why it is so popular among humans--why they love to talk about it, and concern themselves with it almost exclusively if possible to the nearest hundredth of a second every day, 365 times or more, in a year.

Have any idea why?

Specifically, is love a mere feeling? Or is it something else? Like a concept that we like to involve our imaginations with via our hypothalamus?

Can love, like any other concepts, exist independently from us? Where does love come from?

What are the extensions of Love :?:

Can Love not exist also?

How can we prove that there is love (oh, give me a break, ha ha!)?

Wish the mod here gets to “love” this topic for special consideration.

It's because Love (the finest hour, or two, or a whole night of) is the closest thing one can have of 'Eternity'.

I'd rather maintain it that simple... the whole matter is too bloody complex for me, a dire threat to my sanity that I'd rather design and build the next Advanced Tactical Fighter jet.

ha ha ha! that's funny, caporegime. is it really that complex you're giving up on it, here?

I am really sorry ma'am, I am still recuperating from having subjected just that to painstaking analysis. It was starting to yield but, I realized I run the risk of becoming a matandang binata so... I decided to wait until I got married, have had enough kids and got all of 'em through college.

I'll be back. Btw, I advise no.. I insist you to do the same

Loooove... is a many splendored thing...

sorry for my weak comprehension but your past tenses here suggest to me a man who's extremely experienced--and accomplished -- in the realm of passion and Love. am i right?

it's okey. i mean, i'm okey here down "South."

but i can't take an advice i don't understand where it's hailing from, in the first place.

Hunirata

so have you broken a link already??

my stand: love is but a state of mind...

Welp Huni, (can I call you Huni? No pun intended there ah) that's why I decided to stop "fiddling" with it. One could *know* beforehand without actual experience and now look what impression I've made upon you Still single here, with a bit experience but not enough, not even halfway to bear offsprings. hehe..

I'm from the mid north-west btw.

aahhh....love. and who knows more about that many-splendored thing than the capo himself.

Hunirata

Ganun ba? Slow ko talaga, no? but you’re right. “one could know before hand without actual experience.” Kaya nga ba we still love to give advice to those in dilemma with Love, kase we need not experience IT naman to say something about it. But of course, it would greatly help if we already have gone through it ourselves—and have somehow survived .

Don’t you worry, Egime. It doesn’t take experience to find One. I mean, One that is true and valid beyond reasonable doubt . Actually, it will just come (as they say). Or if you want, like what Bobito said, “condition your mind” to it . . . in a light manner .

Yes, you may call me Huni. It’s good for your fingers as well.

Hey, i like your answer, Bobito (cute and funny name, there). That’s interesting. I’ve never heard an answer like that before. A “state of mind,” ha. So does that mean one can only think about in a certain way it if he or she wishes to have it, or experience it?? What a mind-opener, ha ha!

I’d like to tackle further on that. With your initiative.

It's all theoretical. I'm confident it's fully compliant & compatible w/ reality though

Huni:

C'mon, slow daw... to let you know I'm logged on to www.webster.com everytime I PEx...

I'm a self-control freak, to admit this Thing really scares me. I've had a bit of experience falling in love alright and I believe it's very similar to what some refer to as being possessed!

ive been staring at this screen for 5 minutes, trying to come up with a universal meaning of love. But, it is not that i lack words to describe it. I even tried Carp's idea, to log on simultaneously at www.webster.com; however it seems that we cant fully explain love til we actually experience it.

The moment we experience love, we surrender ourselves to the person we want to give our love too. But we also surrender our love to Love itself. thus, when we love, we give love twice over; once for someone else, and the second, for in-itself. Thus, when we are hurt. We are hurt twice over. :( SAD!

did i make sense ?

Hunirata

and may I know what’s the connection of your logging on to Merriam Webster.com with the way you answer here, ha?? Belib naman ako sa site na yun, egime.

Scared? Me, too. But isn’t those that scare us give us the thrill??

Okey then be possessed. Just don’t be obsessed. Or can we help it??

That’s funny.

So, does that mean, we are serving two masters at the same time, here?

Yes, you did make sense. It’s not only sad; it’s terrible. But they say it’s worth it. We just have to validate that yet.

Ah, Love!

The person who could come up with the real definition of love would probably be bestowed godhood.

La lang...

Hunirata:

I dont like the term master. It has a deregatory content. But the idea is there, we give love twice over. It seems a joke, but it is the only way we can account for loving for love itself. However, it is also worth noting, that we cannot see the difference between two loves if we are in the state of love.

This seperation can only be visualize either we analyze why we love the person; compare to the love we give them.. However, the moment we start analyzing why we love the person; we tend to not love that person anymore. if we put in any objective fact or comparison; then we are taking love away from the subjective emotional realm to the mental objective realm. Thus, an analyzed love is not in its pure state.

i am such a BS. For most guys : love is sEx. here we go.
