zephyr Posted June 30, 2004 Author Posted June 30, 2004 Of course whether you fancy him or not matters It aint love if you don't fancy him, it's just infatuation
McSpanner Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 The pain of no love is harsh - I know this for living a few years in a lonely existance As you say - Love arrived all was well, but unfortunately - Seeds of destruction broke the relationship down. I'm Still in love, and I am still loved, we are still within a hairs breath of each other - but there are complications disrupting the ebb and flow. My question is - Is it better to have and lose, and thus deal with, or To have, crash against the rocks but hold on to - and thus cling to like life itself depends on it?
Guest Rox Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 I feel an essay coming on..... But too late for me tonight methinks. (lots of me's in there - my ego must be coming back) None the less, excellent questions.....
Jonty Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 Sorry to disillusion you all - There is no such things as love There is only LUST and chemicals - You are driven by your DNA, (anxious to keep it's hundreds of thousands of years of survival going) - Towards the most appropriate way of maintaining it's progress into the future. We are only here to spread our seed, then die.
Observer Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 If that is the case, then why do old couples stay together, affectionately loving each other, when they are way past wanting or being able to spread their seed? I would say that was love.
Jonty Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 Part of the deal is making sure that any offspring (and their offspring) survive. That is why 'families' have evolved as the best way to ensure survival. In most societies, the grandparents still have a very important role in ensuring children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, have the best possible chance of surviving and reproducing. A bit of a blip in evolution in our benighted Western countries - we tend to send grandparents off to homes where they can die without being a nuisance to our consumer led life.... And old people can still be afflicted by LUST you know (or I hope so for the future)
Observer Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 NaaaaH, sure lust plays a part in the process - but love does not equal lust, affection does not equal lust. Grandparents can sit back and enjoy their grandchildren as they do not need to ensure their survival and at any rate may not even be physically able to. Some people are drawn together through an appreciation of the nicer aspects of the personality and the lust follows on from that and is born out of that rather than the other way around. Lust cannot explain away why some old people, having lost their life long partner, no longer have the will to live and die shortly afterwards. Lust is more likely responsible for breaking relationships up, whereas love will keep them together.
Grumble Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 Jonty=xxxxxxxx! Scientific, but xxxxxxxx nonetheless. If you agree with what you've written, you've never been in love. End of...
zephyr Posted July 1, 2004 Author Posted July 1, 2004 End of ....... what? End of Civilisation as we know it Font so couldn't complete sentence of interest
zephyr Posted July 1, 2004 Author Posted July 1, 2004 LOVE = HEAD FCUK = Oral sex! Although this is not to some peoples tastes, some find this hard to swallow that love can come in many ways
Observer Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 Although this is not to some peoples tastes, some find this hard to swallow that love can come in many ways One way! (and yes......difficult)
