Okay, in the shower I had a quandry that I felt like posting.
If you are subject to easily faultered morals or the like, I suggest you don't read it, same goes if you are easily depressed by questioning circumstances.
But moving right along.
I was curious about the subject of the "L" word, for whatever reason, and I started thinking about how parents think that High School Love is unrealistic, but at the same time love between parents or even just older people can seem so mechanical and programmed.
What if humans as a whole have long ago lost their capacity for honest love, and now love is simply the mix of both affection and lust? Maybe what we think is love is just a simplified and more animalistic passion than it is a true emotion of the heart. That bothers me, on some level I have yet to fully understand within myself. In this world corrupted and overpowered by the overwhelming deadly sins and lack of moral and virtuous guidance, how can we understand something as innocent and basic as true love?
I don't know. Maybe I am just questioning something I don't understand due to the fact I haven't experienced it myself. I don't like the thought that we, as a civilaztion, as a species that is supposed to be able to sustain an emotion that answers our behavior as well as our life's choices, that provides reason for our very existance, is a crumbled and deformed reality we have based on the real deal, but will never quite be the same. And on that topic, who was the first person to even speak the words, "I Love You" or at least know what they meant? It had to start somewhere, didn't it?
All in all, I hope I am wrong about questioning it. I know I love my family and I know I love my friends. I know that's not a lie.
But I don't know about much anything else on the matter.
^^;
Please tell me what you think about it.
I'd appreciate the input.
