Is Love an Illusion?
-
Peace All,
Here's a question...besides the biological mechanics of life (eating, sleeping, breathing, etc.), what action, non-action, decision, or non-decision can you think of that is not rooted in love or lack thereof?
Why do you work?
Why do you give?
Why do you sacrifice?
Why do you compromise?
Why do you lie?
Why do you tell the truth?
Why do you learn?etc. etc.
Peace,

It's very suprising someone posted this. Love is a real thing. Scientists have discovered a broken heart is a physical pain that is felt by the heart. To tell you the truth I don't know whether love is an illusion or an obsession or whether it is a unique feeling that cannot be described by words.
Love isn't a good thing at the moment for me in my books cry
PEACE

Why do you sacrifice? - it's inevitable
Why do you compromise? - inevitable
Why do you lie? - 'cause I'm an asshole
Why do you tell the truth? - 'cause I'm an asshole

IF you are reffering that love is so good and yada yada becoz how to people care for each other. Then here is a secret. 2 people dont have to be in love to actually care for each other. 2 people are just fine without love. Its when they love that things go wrong.

Peace,
I have read about love in connection to oneness and peace --in oppostion to affection or love for a person or family or group.
If we are one in essence, the good or the bad we do to others we are doing to ourselves. From this perspective, the aim of becoming a loving person for all looks easier. 'All' includes our enemies too. This can be possible if we are in the state of peace. This love demmands not seeking anything in return.
The other concept of love, for specific people and expecting something in return, say for the children or familiy or friends,or the husband and wife would be called differently, maybe affection or something else.
Anwering the question, my answer is not, love is n ot an illusion.

Salaam all,
I think there are people here who have had their heart broken.
But we must go on always and we might could find love again )
Both men and women can be hurt in love and that can also be a test from God to see how tolerate we are and so on.
Peace

sure 2 peopel can be fine without love,
i believe love (like most things)isn't somthing you can have a clear view on, unless you've honestly experienced it, as far as male/female relations go,
i dont know when it is honeslty 'experienced' in a relationship, i guess you jsut kind of know...i have yet to feel that, i'm tired....etc....)peace

Salaam Br Jaxal,
I agree with you that two person can have a relationship based on friendship and they don't have to be LOVERS.
But if this relationship would grow, what would you do then, close your feelings?
I think we have to be and stay open for love.
The problems is that some people love too much and too deep and it can create problems if the partner will end the realationship and the other part isn't ready for that.Yes love can be painful but we shouldn't give it up!
Peace

Salaam Cutie br Jaxal,
Man, you are hopeless o
Yes of course love is an emotion but often it last longer than the time it can take to eat a bar of chocolate, right!?
How can you compare women and chocolate!? shock
So we are only a tasty bit of chocolate!?
Peace

I forgot to mention the book wherer I have read those things, Maat, The 11 Laws of God by Ra Un Nefer Amen.
Anwering the question, my answer is not, love is n ot an illusion.
This is mine. -
SaLaM My Lovely Cutie Sis
Im not hopeless, im mearly stating my observation http//www.geocities.com/bigjaxal/s1.gif. I can think of many reasons why women are similar to chocklate. As for women being tasty bit of chocklate, I would say, that this is a very complicated question to which the most simple simple answer would be, Yes and No. http//www.geocities.com/bigjaxal/s1.gif. Ofcourse, that being my personel opinion.

Salaam Cutie br Jaxal,
I know what you meant dear, but I couldn't resist to tease you a little bit too.

Hello All,
Thank you all for the varied replies. It seems that most of us are focused on the love of another individual in a romantic way. That is why you get the broken-hearted denouncing love as a joke and a bad illusion! But I say to you what about love of God or love of a child? Is that a joke and illusion too, for you?
Perhaps we all first learn something of the Power of Love through a romantic attachment to others? And perhaps that has always been the starting point in our understanding of the meaning of Love? But as we grow and come to terms with love so does our understanding of the power of love grows too. It is then we start to realise and come to this view point Love is not Sex but sex can be part of Love. But whatever Love is it is never an illusion nor it is a joke. Love is very transforming, love is very redemptive...
Regards,

Salaam all,
Yes I do also agree with Lote tree, love cannot be an illusion and sex cannot be love only a part of love.
Love of a child can never die out because they are your own flesh and blood.

Peace Neo,
Why do you work? - 'cause i needs the moneys
Besides food, shelter, and clothing, why do you 'need' money?
Why do you give? - 'cause i believe in a cause greater than I
Please explain the correlation. Do you give to your family for a greater cause, or do you give to your family for them?
Why do you sacrifice? - it's inevitable
How? What would happen if you didn't sacrifice?
Why do you compromise? - inevitable
How? What would happen if you didn't compromise?
Why do you lie? - 'cause I'm an asshole
We're all assholes wink But that doesn't answer the question.
Why do you tell the truth? - 'cause I'm an asshole
Please see above.
Why do you learn? - 'cause it's my passion
I see, so you love knowledge?
Peace,
Tay
