The "L" Word

[SmooveMooves]

Yoo,

Curious to know how you guys feel about Leopards.

Nah, I'm joking, I'm talking about Loooveeeeee

What is your philosophy on it?

Is it bullsh1t?

A Disney fairlytale?

Is it possible to obtain?

Exists full on

Or is mere propaganda

Here's my take:

It is scientifically proven that "love" exists, so its not a complete Load of crap. Not going to get into detail, but the emotion is necessary for biological reasons, so we can't completely dismiss it. I believe the problem is that we men, due to media indoctrination, interpret love as being unconditional, which is impossible because love Is entirely conditional.

If you hadn't met certain conditions you wouldn't feel love in the first place and vice versa. If these conditions are to change than love & the relationship, disappear along with it. In order to keep love certain conditions have to be kept and maintained to maintain love.

So is it worth it?

I was taught that love is a balance between attraction and rapport, although I don't know how true this is.

My final thoughts on the matter are summed up in this quote:

"Nothing lasts forever and is constant, so enjoy it while lasts and prepare for change"

&

"Experience things while you can never say 'there's no point'. You know your going to die, but does that mean you should just kill yourself now?"

I'm young, so I was thinking about this love concept for when I'm ready to have kids. "Did I want to love her?" I asked.

I came to the conclusion that this thought is futile and I just want to have my offspring with the most attractive mate with the best mothering qualities.

Maybe my views will change, what are yours?

Love certainly exists and if you spend enough time with a high quality loving woman....you will experience it.

You are absolutely right about men having a distorted view about love. "Unconditional love" is the biggest brainwashing modern men face today. Although you may currently find yourself "in love" with a woman....be aware that if she messes up enough.....you will not and should not love her anymore.

My thoughts about Leopards is that i don't mind my girl wearing leopard inspired bikini that covers her "feline" flesh.

Love, is one of the most misinterpreted word, especially in oneitis.

Love (the romantic kind - eros) definitely does exist, it just doesn't necessarily last forever. In fact, usually it doesn't, it's got a shelf life, like a flower or a loaf of bread.

As for whether or not it's worth it, I guess that's up to the individual and the situation. Unrequited love certainly isn't, IMO.
