Love = Tolerance

[N.P.C.C.]

I gave a dark perspective on relationships to my sociology teacher once stating that love in the way it is defined is impossible to obtain in real world terms due to it being something that is apparently unconditional and everlasting...It is the product of fairy tale books and the concept to me becomes just as fictional in that regard. Thus, i see love as an unrealistic emotion/feeling as it can indeed die. To me this means that love is in fact tolerance.

Yes, i got labeled the psycho in class due to this but dammit it's what i believe.

oh my god!i cant stop laughing!
[edit] ok ive calmed down, i just could keep a straight face at this sheer irony.

"love in the way it is defined is impossible to obtain in real world terms due to it being something that is apparently unconditional and everlasting"
love without a reason is unaffected by time. why?time moves and everything changes, if one hold a reason to "love" something it will be changed due time.when there is no reason it cant dispear thus the effects of time are void.this is the conclusion ive made while being striven by insanity.

now onto my point.while im overjoyed that im not a single one who holds similar concept what is true love the fact that it doesnt egzist is buging me.apart from the fact that there are always anomalities i hold my self the love of no reason.logicaly its stupid ,but it egzists, it doesnt go away and im not sure if ill ever be able to explain it.

i do have a theory thought. people like to create illiusions for themselves to cope with life [denial, egoism, depresion, anything that makes you avoid the truth which hurts], some are so strong they make the person insane as they can no longer fully control them.so like cant love be one of them? a thing sought by many which is actualy more like a curse?
anyway you made my day

[N.P.C.C.]

I'm pretty sure that's how they acted inside too but it made them think that's for damn sure.

a question of curiosity why do you care what they think?

Love is not unconditional. At least romantic love usually isn't. Now, is love everlasting? Unlikely, but what is forever, but 60 years together?(In terms of average human life span)
To say "Love is Tolerance", is cynical and an obvious falsity.

i believe to most people it requires conditions.but doesnt stand for all.
as for death, technicaly it cant stop after passing away, yet it doesnt egzist either.its similar to a question what would happen if an unstopable object met a unmovable one.since its a stale mate i just choose the forever part for my own taste.

I wouldn't have said a damn thing in the class discussion if i did. Just not gonna deny it garnered weird looks.

Then look at it this way, love in itself isn't what people think. Love is tolerating someone in spite of themselves. (the extent of the real world) When you stay with someone who's an abuser/killer/bad person ect no one ever thinks it may be because they have deluded themselves into thinking they love them. (which usually is the case) Also, notice that i can believe in the concept of infatuation but as you should know, that can only go so far.

You can write it off as false as much as you like but i'll just keep looking at things like the divorce rates and laughing my ass off.

Also, when i say it's unconditional, i'm pretty sure i meant in terms of what you strive for in physical attraction.

while i believe theyr reaction is abit unjust im not surprized you came to such a conclusion.
love is a very questionable subject and commonly mistaken by lust, eye candy and pity[and this one falls under your tolerance]

[N.P.C.C.]

Guts, that is why when you bring up this argument people who think they are in love will write it off immediately without considering it (not implying law falls in that category). It's not just a random thought as this perspective has been instilled in me for quite some time.

[Guthix]

well im sorry that i dont have any of the "facts" , this topic didnt even interested me in the past untill i was striken.
besides with the number of divorsion and EX's therese days who the **** do ppl think they are to tell me im wrong.

[N.P.C.C.]

When i said "you" i was referring to a person in general. My bad.

Love's not meant to be eternal. You can love your mother, because she cared for you and raised you, but at the same time she could do something so horrible and evil somewhere down the line that makes you not love her anymore (maybe she murdered a bunch of school children and didn't regret it). As far as romantic relationships go, it's hard to differentiate sometimes when someone has genuine feelings of love toward someone or if it's just infatuation. Personally I think if someone lost their sex drive completely, but they would still do anything and die for the person they consider their soul mate, that's love. This is assuming they care for this person and this isn't some sort of obsessive blind loyalty. Which brings me to another point, and that's stalkers. Stalkers can feel they're in love with someone, it doesn't even have to be a sexual thing, but in reality they're just insane. So . . love is like an onion, it's a multi-layered complicated emotion that you really can't slap a definition on. Love can mean different things to different people. I have a certain idea of what I think love is, but other people might think differently and they might be right, or they could be wrong, or I could be right, or I could be wrong, or maybe love is just a combination of smaller emotions and-*BRAIN ****ING EXPLODES* . . . . . . *Ahem.* Humanity's been around for a long time, and if we're STILL asking ourselves "What is love?", then we're never going to have a true answer that everyone will be happy with. In my opinion though, to simply say that "love = tolerance" and that is all, I would say you're being somewhat ignorant on the history of love and the complicated nature of the subject.

I'm ignorant now? -_- I feel it necessary to comment on the fact that those who disagree with me on this saw it fit to belittle my statement so far after stating their own besides allowing the statement they made to stand on its own. Nice.

Also, nice panda. You state everyone has a different opinion on love than proceed to **** on mine. Smart.

- You seem to be missing the point panda. It's not about how you or me see it, it's how human's primarily define it as a whole. And that results in a concept improbable to obtain in the real world.

- While it may not be eternal, that is how we have glorified it.

- People DID slap a definition on it and as it stands, it's bull ****!

- Your scenario's are irrelevant.


I don't think i should really indulge such a flawed opinion with a counter argument. Either way, their is NOTHING complicated about it. Love is Bull ****! Glorified nonsense that human beings themselves make fun of in its many forms. You want love? Read Cinderella or watch a harem anime. About as close as you're gonna get.

My thinking basically comes down to webster needing to get off his/her/it/****'s ass and setting the record straight.

To me, love is one of those things you have to feel/experience for yourself in order to believe in it
