Hello chicks and dudes of the internet! How are you guys doing in this marvelous Wednesday? Im doing great as a matter of fact, just by the sole fact that I am alive. For some, that is more than enough. Here I am again, trying to get everything I have out of my mind. So today I will talk about something everyone in this world can relate to. Yes, its something every living being and sometimes non-living things can experience.
Love
I actually want to write about this because this dude I met today in one of the Philosophy's meetings talked about it. I had actually thought about what he was professing. He said that Love was his primary Philosophy at the time. He very strongly said that Love is everything. And I do come to agree to this simple statement. But I think that the statement alone is rather too simple to take into account and think about it. Love is everything. I do believe it is, it is everything; I could venture into saying that Love is the Soul.
Yes! Tell everyone that we have finally discovered what the Soul is. It is Love.
Now, to set things straight we must first define what Love is.
I think that we can start out by saying what Love is NOT.
Love is not your typical word.
Love is not what you think it is.
Love IS pure.
Love is innate, meaning that we are born with it.
Love is all around us in very different forms of expression
Love can be bad and it can be good.
Love is what makes us.
Love is what destroys us.
Love is very strong.
Think about it as Darth Vader being extremely powerful when he finds out that what he loved the most is now gone. When his force started to fuck everything in its surroundings.
Bad picture?
Anyways, sorry about that.
But love, if you can understand, is a very strong force.
We all know how to love, we are all loved.
The instant that we are created it is through love, maybe not the love that everyone talks nowadays, but more like a love for a connection, a bond with someone. This kind of love is the act of procreation.
Like I said, love has a tons of forms.
We are made through love, we are born through love. The strong feeling of survival, the love for life, the love for existing.
We are nurtured through love, whoever sacrifices their lives for the love of our existence is doing this by love. For the love of another human being. This love that is mutual is a bond for eternity. We are taught that feeling first. The feeling of comfort. The sense of protection. And we love this. And we are taught love. This is love in its purest and most ethical form. Love is than transformed into many other forms.
We try to duplicate this feeling into our everyday lives. We want to feel this Love all the time. Because we love it. (By now, you might be thinking I wrote love to many times!)
We love to feel love. Love, again, is our motive or soul, our fuel, our force.
We "like" a song, because deep inside we love it. Because it produces somewhat similar the feeling that we know as love. We then create different words to express love. We then, so desperately want to feel Love from everyday things and we start liking objects. At the end we sort of water down this emotion.
We have our "favorite" color.
We like a TV show.
We like a car.
And the root of these feelings is love.
We really love these things.
Love is like the original true emotion that branches out to many other feelings. But if we follow through with our emotions we can discover a form of love.
And we cannot blame ourselves for trying to feel love all the time. We want it all the time. It is something truly amazing. It is the closest we get to an eternal truth.
The problem comes when these things are then given a life of their own.
When we drive the love that we have for people of things into an extreme.
We love someone so much and want to feel the love mutually; the same way we felt. We constantly seek the same Love we experienced that made us addicts.
It is the reason behind every success and every failure in the world. In all of history EVERYTHING has been made because of Love.
Yes, everything that you can think of.
A few extreme examples will do the trick (I think).
Who doesn't know of the Holocaust?
Why, everyone has at least once asked, why did Hitler drive all of the German people into participating in such atrocities?
Love
Yea, as fucked up as it sounds I think he did it for love. For any reason that anyone can come up with as to why he did it Love can be the motive.
"Well he did it because he was a Christian and he thought that the Jewish deserved the suffering because of what they did to Jesus Christ"
I would say, he did it because of the Love he had to the religion.
Love as stated already, can be good or bad.
Love, naturally is a good thing. It all depends on how we apply it this emotion. We can love someone or something.
Why do people steal? For love.
Whether be it for the love of what money can get them or for the love of the feeling they get when they steal.
They could probably stole for the love of money, for the love of food, for the love of someone, for the love of something (an I pod). It all comes down to love. And how we express this feeling. It comes down to how we express it and what we do in order to feel love.
This then raises some very serious questions.
All criminals commit their crime because of love?
Yes, I would say.
Should they be pardoned for committing such horrible crimes in the name of love?
No, the noble motive does not excuse the actions that led them to those crimes.
Is love evil?
No, it is what we do of it. We all have a choice.
Love is our force. Love is our everyday motive. Love is power. Love is our soul.
Love.
And with this I must say, It all depends on how one chooses to love. We all choose what to love and how to love. The emotion is one, the forms are many. But it is necessary to create a conscience as to why we live the way we do. Why do we do things? Why do we say things? Why do I choose this over the other?
We must have our foundations set.
We must eliminate false ideals of love.
Money does not represent love.
We must not love objects.
We must remember what Love is and not confuse it with anything else.
Love is one thing and one thing only.
It is not bad to seek Love as long as we do not destroy Love itself.
I think its only appropriate to end this long ass discussion with a song.
All we need is love, and love itself.
