ets talk about love (r/Chainsawfolk)
If you ask your 3 friends the definition of friendship, you will have 3 different answers. Beyond complex stuff like "what is a toaster" definition are useless. When something is really important, we do not feel about these things the same. We can't agree on the important matters of life.
Love is one of these things. If you ask 100 persons, you get 100 different answers. Some people will say Love does not exists, and was invented in the 1500 by poets. Thats a opinion that exists and deserve has much respect any other.
So we see Yoru kissing Denji, because Yoru loves Denji, and we can't agree whats going on.
Love exists in humans as a way to encourage reproduction. It takes over our rational mind, like a jockey on a horse. Love is not a single sentiment, is a syndrome of many sentiments all attacking the mind at the same time from different fronts. Love also affect different people differently... one person can feel more lust, other less, or more support, less empathy, and so on.
Maybe we can't agree why Yoru kissed Denji (it pain my heart to say that). But maybe we can talk and open love and looks whats inside. Perhaps reflect on our differences. Understand our ability to not being able to understand each other.
[Inside the sentiment called \\"Love\\"](https://preview.redd.it/6irof6b9j9xd1.png?width=737&format=png&auto=webp&s=1973e8997de94848e63d997feced695e5ce61706)
This is the best way I know to examine love. Is based on personal and not personal circumstances and anecdotes.
I will defend some of them, and give a example:
\- Greed: this is usual, you love a person, you want that person for you, only for you. You are walking in a garden with flowers and you steal some for the people you love. You feel you would steal the moon and give it to that person (Even if that would fuckup the gravitational forces of the planet).
\- Empathy: this is also usual. You can easily tell what the person you love is feeling. And if you can't feel it, you are strongly moved by the exterior signs, like a smile/lack of smile or even tears.
\- Obsession (in the same boss with Empathy): you can't stop thinking about this person.
\- Empathy+Obsession+Devotion: this person you loves likes to play Call of Duty, you don't really like videogames but you play Call of Duty has a way to understand that person better, you want to understand the person better
\- Lust: you love that person, and in a secret corner of your imagination you see the person naked, and you imagine his butt or other parts of his body, and you gives adoration to that curves. You desire that person, for sex.
\- Comfort (in the same box has lust): you want that person to hug you. Is cold and you want that person warm body next to you, to feel warm. When you hands are in her hands, your hands are warm, and feel the warm from his body. Evolution have made girls feet cold and boys body a radiator.
\- Lenience: so you see some idiot that is a idiot and do something idiotic, you call him for it, and her girlfriend jump on his defense, and in her eyes, he did nothing wrong. People in love are bad judges, they see her/his lover in good eyes and explain their action has good or try to find a way to defend it. Love overwrite rational troughs, that surrender to the sentiment. Hitler girlfriend loved Hitler, and probably defended his actions. Motherly love that can show this, with mothers defending their kids no matter what.
One person style of love can show no respect or no leniency. Other person style of love can be no-verbal.
One can love like Oberon and Titania, from a high horse and thunder in each hand.
Also, I can't prove it. But I think the rational mind is still there, somewhere, sharpening their knives.
The rational minds has been forced to this, to surrender, is easy to think that want to revolt and restore control. Other sentiments could be below all of this, in hidding. And because are hidden, we can't see them. Perhaps people hate the person they love, because it hurts to love. Perhaps people know their generosity is on wasted hands. Or their trust will not be rewarded. Generosity lives next to greed and lust. A lover want to give himself to the person he loves. But also hope/wants the person she loves for himself. So is a mix of generosity and greed. Obsession and devotion are the same thing, only different words. Is like calling somebody eccentric or crazy based not on his behavior, but if you like that person.
You loves a person, but that person does not speak english, instead that person speak spanish. And you learn that language just to be able to talk with that person. That obsession / dedication / devotion. Even if you stop loving that person, that knowledge stay with you. Is not love like a cheat code, or a super power?
And if you guys/gals want, other day we can speak about sex.
