Mr White Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 This question was motivated mostly by threads in "marriage", but it's just as applicable in here. Basically, I noticed that whenever people are ambiguous about their relationships and start enumerating the pros and cons, often times the fact that the partner in question loves them is heavily discounted! "He/she is great, loves me BUT...". Worse, other, IMO less significant factors such as habits, traits, etc. are given precedence over being loved! Hello! Anything wrong with this picture? Let's face it, the average person isn't that loveable, and if we are lucky enough to find someone that does love us, it is probably a good idea to focus on this specific fact, before dwelling on other, and ultimately much less important factors such as their job or level of education .
espec10001 Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 If you look at it from a perfectly logical standpoint, love is a losing game. That initial 'hit', those butterflies, are like a drug addicts first hit, that they always try to get back with more and more doses of that person. Seems like a trick by mother nature to get us to keep reproducing. I look at the world around me and think "Is this a world that I would want my children to grow up in?" And the answer is an emphatic NO. It seems to me sometimes that love is a trick and I'm suspicious.
