Branh, you definitely have a point. But that wasn't my point either. I never said that love would change the world because it's natural.
You said that love is becoming less important, implying that it is less needed. And I am arguing that, no, it is just as important for humans as it has always been, but many people tend to seek happiness through other means. When really, what they need is love.
When did I ever say that all we need is love? I never said that, and you know it. My point is that getting all those bills paid won't fulfill anyone emotionally. This is a big part of happiness, and once again demonstrates how love is a psychological need.
I understand your position then, however I think that you can more easily defend the claim that romantic love is not deserved or owed (as the thread started out) but nurtured love from parents is both deserved and natural in the society that we now live in.
Yes, nurtured love has been developed into something much more than it was when we as humans lived more as savages, but that is a part of evolution. Those who choose to believe in a higher being and religion cannot possibly subscribe to your theory. Those who do not should have a pretty easy time with it.
Psychological well-being and physical well-being are more or less equally important to overall happiness. So, we need one as much as we need the other.
well branh...for someone that thinks that being surrounded by video games and which existence its only justified by the amount of time that you might spend around it...i guess that coming from you that statement makes a lot of sense..assuming that the only need you might have is: wank, eat and drink....
You be so wrong OFA, lol. Being able to debate whether or not love is deserved does not mean that the debater has not experienced love. In fact in Branh's case I'd bet money that he's experienced a ton of it.
You can't have discussions like this without having felt both the euphoria of love and the crushing heartache. You guys can read Branh at face value if you want, but that's the facade he's expecting you to buy into.
Sorry for revealing what's behind the thin veneer dude 😉
No, I haven't had much exposure at all to Branh's posts. But, imho he has at one time been deeply in love and massively crushed and he's turned brutally cold, quite Spock like in his approach to life. Just my 2 cent psych analysis.
Hahaha OFA, it's not negative view, it's just different views...the reason why a lot of couples divorce...the varieties in the interpretation of 'love'...
Experience can do a lot to views...i.e. if you were not optimistic enough, you ended up being jaded, or if you're the eternal optimist, you keep trying and trying to find love as you define it...
