The equation of “Love”
Had a discussion recently with one of my friends. The discussion centered around a relationship issue that was going on and it twirled around back and forth touching here and there upon the normal things…till I of course blurted out something completely insensible in relation to “relationships.” This of course being “logic” inside of a relationship.
And I don’t mean to step on the hearts of those who love the passion…
I find myself improperly applying one set of rules to a certain situation and a different set of rules to a similar situation which should get the same treatment. I look at the whole of existence as a set of mathematical probabilities (as noted several days earlier in a posting). These probabilities, though unable to be measured because of a lack of technology, do in fact show the entire world up to a potential certain point, and as I go through the exercise mentally I may come to think that those probabilities go all the way through to all points within this world.
The state of “love” in the modern world is slightly flawed, I believe. We humans have historically given this magical power to love and said that it and it alone, transcends all other traits and all rational thought to be placed upon this pedestal of omnipotent importance. Why have we allowed this emotion (probably a combination of emotions and long term probabilities within our minds) to spiral out of control?
One reason I can attest to, is the euphoric emotional high that is associated with it. Imagine this savage beast trolls through the forest gnashing its teeth and killing all it can find to support itself…living on a fringe so violent that its only respite is in a cave with its young. Going through its existence with its only purpose to kill in order to live longer (and all other good things come from there in this animals mind – mating and passing along genetics) would make for a very certain short, hard life. Now, inject into its everyday emotional system this feeling, this belief that there is now another of its kind which not only wants to help it survive, but would potentially sacrifice itself in order to allow it to continue. What do you think would occur inside of the mind of an animal like that?
