Action over feelings

[image/video deleted]
We can go wrong thinking love is just some feeling or romantic idealized sensation.
Feelings are fickle and always changing.
The action of it is the real stability.

I agree.

Even so.......
Where there are deep feelings there are frequently consistent actions.
And actions may (only may) feedback with our hearts.
So yes, facts over subjectivity IMO.

But (but, but)...
IF this feeds the mainstream fraud of to love versus being in love (when about relationships) THEN I say bs.
Have it if you choose to.
Stability over passion.
The weak maladie of our culture, dualism.

So, with my full respect for the ones that think otherwise.....
If only one of them ("facts" / "feelings") is all what there is, I would stay alone.
And would loose nothing of some value.

@ElRengo Interesting reply, thanks. Yeah I know love is also felt, but it's way more than just a feeling. Specially surface feelings like those of high school infatuations and so on....
Committed genuine love has actions that carry us through all else.

I gess we are saying near to the same seen from different perspectives or hope so.

Yes. there is some risk to call love to a high school infatuation, it happens and it use to end badly.
And love is, you are right, way more than just a feeling.
Even so there is a symmetrical risk, at least as inmature (though socially validated) and sick as the above.
To call love, the one specific between patners, to domestic, family love.
Which is good, but not at all of the same nature.
And when this theorized fraud takes the place of the other kind of love it´s not worth it´s name.
And for my hopes it also ends badly even and perhaps specially if it lasts.

My own view is, both or none,

All blessings to you.
