Subject: RE: BS: what is love From: Little Hawk Date: 16 Jan 04 - 04:58 PM Love is the highest impulse in Life, and it is the source of all Life. It is the highest intelligence and wisdom, put into action. It is the giver of meaning and the heart of all useful purpose. It is that which recognizes in the Other the same that is recognized in Self...the most intimate awareness of complete unity and shared meaning and value on every level. Love says "There is only One of us here. You are that One, and so am I, and so are all others. Together we are far greater than the sum of our apparently separate identities. Together we are magnificence. Apart, we wait only to rediscover that we are One and inseparable, united by Love." Or were you talking about Hollywood romance? :-) To think that Love can arise only as an emotional/biological response to another specific human being is naive. That's just a fragment of what Love is, but it can be a very nice fragment if handled wisely. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: what is love From: GUEST, heric Date: 16 Jan 04 - 03:42 PM Love can be many more things than altruism, too. It can be a celebration of the universal spirit, thereby permitting uncalculated joy from the good luck of others. It can also foster compassion and forgiving, with or without altruistic effects. Lesser "love," as Little Hawk pointed out elsewhere recently, is usually a social contract with a host of conditions, or the biochemical disturbances referenced above. |

Subject: RE: BS: what is love From: Bill D Date: 16 Jan 04 - 03:05 PM In 1964, I got an "A" on a psychology paper about love, in which I mentioned Morty's basic definition, so I'm sure it must be right! (The basic premise of the paper was to dispute a current pop-psychology book which claimed that no one could experience 'romantic love' with more than one person at a time) |

Subject: RE: BS: what is love From: GUEST,Boab D Date: 16 Jan 04 - 01:47 PM Thr feling that you get when you with out knowing it or understanding why you become a prick and change from the person who the other liked you for to the fanny that you become. Well maybe thats just what I do and I shouldn't but in reallity I think that love (between a man and a woman)is when you can look that person in the eye and not be frightened of what they think of you and that they know all the bad about you as well as all the good and accept you for it. More importantly they are the same with you. Complete honesty, trust and intimacy Dylan |

If I align myself with that frequency, I radiate it outward and others can experience it as well. Everybody can do this, whether or not there are others around for them to share it with. |

Subject: RE: BS: what is love From: mack/misophist Date: 16 Jan 04 - 10:36 AM Morticia had it almost dead on. The great researcher, Harry Harlow, once said that love is a condition where another's happiness is a prerequisit to one's own. After years of thought, the only possibly improvement I can see would be to add 'and welfare' to the quote. If you do, though, keep in mind that the other person has to be the only judge of what that is. |

Subject: RE: BS: what is love From: Bassic Date: 16 Jan 04 - 08:28 AM And then there is this................... WHAT IS LOVE? Lyrics I love you whether or not you love me I love you even if you think that I don't Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you, but I don't mind Why should I mind, Why should I mind Chorus What is Love anyway, does anybody love anybody anyway What is Love anyway, does anybody love anybody anyway Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear Never worry never be sad The answer is they cannot love this much nobody can This is why I don't mind you doubting And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be The door always must be left unlocked To love when circumstance may lead someone away from you And not to spend the time just doubting Howard Jones |

Subject: RE: BS: what is love From: Bassic Date: 16 Jan 04 - 08:21 AM And then there is the "In love" part of it. The feelings that would normaly be seen as inapropriate towards a child or parent, but are also more than just sexual lust. The incredible intimacy and feeling of being "one" with another person. Suffocating for some people but hugely fulfilling and rewarding for many others. An almost purely emotional bond that has little or nothing to do with logic or duty. |

Subject: RE: BS: what is love From: Morticia Date: 16 Jan 04 - 07:59 AM What kind of love? That of a friend, a child, a partner, a parent? They are all different aspects of the same thing, though I suppose. Love, very simply defined, is,IMO, putting the wellbeing of the loved person above your own....up to and including laying down your life for theirs. |
