Love is nothing more than the want or desire to possess.
Love is the feeling of owning or possessing something and somebody with the pleasure derived from it in experience.
Confusing Love with Lust.
I do not think that such terms as love should be describe as being contrary to the definition of man himself.
That enviornmental acquisition system which must acquire something from the environment and process from that acquisition something that maintains and promotes the life of the body.
Love would then be all the things two people do together to maintain and promote their life.
This follows from the fact that the product of the human mind is reason. Not pleasure, not pain. Therefore, to describe love as any thing that does not comply with the definition of man himself is the product of a not yet functional mind.
In regard to the definition I gave, study Socrates and learn why he said that the only thing he understood was love.
For me love and lust are the same thing despite people’s desire to distinct both as being separate.
Ask anybody today whether love can exist without lust and many will say no.
For me the dominating factor for the human mind is not reason but instead is desire or lust.
Human beings lust for all the pleasures of life to which reason is a slave to. Reason is dominated by desire which is the real master of human beings.
Looking into the prime motivations of living within human beings you will see a insatiable thirst for pleasure.
I think it’s a matter of depth, lust is something I want right a way to sleep with, love is something when I wake up in the morning after a night of lust I want to be with, sex or not. They’re intimately related but not the same thing, eventually no matter how physically attracted to a woman you are if you do not have things that you share other than just the physical lust, you will not stay with them. It’s a bit more complicated than love = lust. I do agree though that if you aren’t physically lustful or attracted to a woman the likelihood of a loving relationship developing is minimal.
Yet nobody wants love without lust.
We lusts ourselves towards love. Love is the obsession of such a lust.
Love is the possession of a lust desired.
Indeed, they aren’t mutually exclusive but that hardly makes them the same thing. Love is what grows from lust, it’s not magical or mystical but it’s a little more than just lust I think, not a massive amount more but enough for the poets to sing about it. For example there are many women I would like to sleep with I have met, but there are far fewer I could imagine being with for a long time.
Quite agree though there’s no magic that happens without physical attraction, but it’s like a good cheese: love matures with time.
In my previous post I described love as the possession of a desired lust.
If anything it’s the exaltation of victory in dominating a desired lust into one’s full controlled possession.
A relationship of love is a sort of possession. Each person are equally captivated by each other.
That is quite plain in all your writing. All that it means is as I stated elsewhere, you are quite unaware of what your purpose in life is.
I do not know of any environemental acquisition system whose purpose is pleasure, only someone very uneducated today would say such things. You need to listen to Plato’s Gorgias. Over, and over and over and over.
I didn’t write that.
I kinda like that each half of the love are possessing each over, if the love ever becomes too possessive either way then maybe it will be unbalanced. Love will fail, love is a compromise.
