What is Love? (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Love is the raw unequivocal symbiotic resonance between an entity and everything around it.

Love isn't for another entity, it is for everything; and the understanding that choice must be derived from what you understand to be greatest for that truth.

------++++++++++

If that's how I define love to myself, what is your definition, what are your differences?

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Lol, care to explain to someone who it went over their head?

[-] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Revenge of the Sith? Volcano Planet LightSaber Duel?

(Okay I might not remember the exact quote correctly so I might've paraphrased)

Idk that is just the first thing that popped in my head and I felt the urge to type it out lolz

You were the chosen one, but my memories are just as bad now. I'm only 36 and lose small things constantly. Muscle twitches for the last 5 years growing. Makes me wonder if I have MS like an uncle of mine. Paranoia mostly I assume, but year after year the twitches more speraditc, and the memories grow disconnected. People say 36 is young, I don't see anything that I'd like to live beyond 45 at this age, and it's not the talk of a 16 year old thinking that's old, it's just realism growing and medical support fleeting

I'm like in my early 20s and I kinda already forgot most of what happened before age 8, when I was in my birth country.

I had a very traumatic incident involving me running away from home at the age of... I think 6...

That is the defining memory of my childhood. That is the most vivid incident I remember.

The... Fear...

All Alone

In a city of millions...

Wtf was I doing

I mean funny enough, this quote is so relevent to my real life

I have an older brother

He was beating me at home

He's 5 year older than me, I was a defenceless child

6 year old me was so scared of him, I decided home was more dangerous than just running out on the the streets

the hell

most traumatic day of my life

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY BROTHER

BUT HE HATED ME

๐Ÿ˜ญ

I've heard one definition is that love is a force that brings things together. I don't know if I believe it, but it sounds interesting.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Quick response, I was still trying to make sure I made "choice" italicized so it drew its own attention. Many times I feel e.e. cummings was right to re-establish meaning in how to what is important for a reader to view, verse read

[-] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Okay so:

Love is something that a child always craved for from those who are supposed to be protectors

But when that love is deprived, that child grows up so depressed that he spend most of his time online just trauma dumping on the internet because he has no one to talk to

And that child is me...

I'm still emotionally immature, even though I'm old enough to vote and get conscripted

Thanks, birthgivers ๐Ÿซ

Love is evolved to better spread mindless DNA chemistry for the pointless sake of it and survive as a social species more successfully than without.

What's very interesting to someone as deeply cynical as I am is it hasn't taken away from the feeling at all! Very potent stuff ๐Ÿ’“.

I don't love all the everything personally, I would not call that a choice, more like a determined reaction to my lived experience on the life eat other life to live world. I don't consider free will to be a thing.
