Musings on love.

You shouldn’t have a reason to love, because then you have a reason not to. You shouldn’t have any reasons at all. Love is not a thought. It’s a feeling. One that your thinking will only restrict. There isn’t a why to love. There’s only a how and its mere existence, without a single judgement to get in the way of it.

Hmm interesting

@Jexie Precisely, but I go a bit above and beyond with that idea. I hold any thinking or thought whatsoever as an impedance to love. Of varying degrees, but an obstacle of it all the same.

@Reject Hmm I dunno about that. Love without thought can also be dangerous

@Jexie Love, dangerous? Why? Because it might hurt you? Who said pain was a bad thing? Thoughts did. Pain like everything else in this world serves a purpose. It has a role to play. One that will only improve you if you let it, or rather, if you love it. Grief, sickness, injury, these things only strengthen the emotions of a heart which loves. You enjoy eating because you know hunger. You enjoy sleeping because you know exhaustion. You enjoy loving because you know loss. Everything bad you’ve ever known deepens love by showing you what matters. Unless of course you have thoughts that tell you otherwise.

love is a sentiment it's both a thought and a feeling

@GoFish If every living being with a brain were to perish. Would we still have a functioning world? The answer to this question is easy. Yes we would, because a universe existed long before we ever did and will continue to do so long after we stop. Unless you don’t believe in the idea of history, but nearly everyone I’ve met does.

@Reject i don't believe in that i believe in God and the six day creation
Reject · 31-35, M
@GoFish Which is still history before you were born. So it existed and happened without the influence of your thought.
Love is a verb not a feeling

@DystopianDivalry Love is a lot of things subjectively.
Love is not entirely a feeling. It can start that way at first, but the nurturing of it takes a conscious choice to do so.

@CookieCrumbs Conscious decisions do help, but not to nurture. My conscious process to love involves turning off my consciousness. The problem I’ve personally had with trying to nurture love was unintentionally creating boundaries in which it couldn’t be nurtured.
