Love

Here’s an excerpt.

For some of us, a regular herbal nightcap makes slipping into sleep that much easier, and centuries of anecdotal evidence affirm the usefulness of weed as a sleep aid. Ancient Chinese pharmacology combined cannabis flower with datura to create the elegantly named “sagacious sleep powder,” or shui sheng san. Western medicine is now catching up, with research into cannabis and sleep on the rise.

I’m curious what love means to people. Like how do you know your loving or being loved by another ?

I think love we can all think of love as unconditionally never stoping that love. Like objects in motion tend to stay in motion. This is easy. I love my little girl. I don’t care if she turns out to be a serial killer. Nothing that kid can do will ever stop the love.

now romantic love.... Eros
Is it real unending? Or do we engage in this act of love as a business relationship. And give and take.

There is always a line. A place in which where cross the line, the business has become unfair and now my lover become the loathed.
That love can end so by my definitions it may not be true to begin with.
We see it now more than ever, we can easily cast away an ex, for a new warm place in someone else’s eye.
To be loved and looked at with loving eyes is in fact the biggest HIT our dopamine and pleasure senses can take. Bigger than heroin! More addicting than crack.

that’s my two cents. We play the game of business with our romantic partners.
Now this pessimistic outlook doesn’t meet I can’t have a great marriage and love life. But I know deep down I’m only one fuck up, job loss, from my partner loving me, to casting me aside like yesterday’s garbage.
That sounds like an unhealthy relationship. I’ve lost everything I own once, so we’ve been through that already.

Just my 2 cents.
Love isn’t playing any kind of game. If it seems that way to you, perhaps it’s not really love.

Sometimes people feel stuck together. Since the weather got cold and Trump tanked the economy I’ve been off for the last month and a half. It’s definitely different watching her manage the kids and teach my little one everyday all day during online learning. Seeing that she works 24/7 for the last 17 years makes me kind of feel bad for bragging about working.

Perhaps. This is why I’m curious. Not even looking at my relationship....

On a grand scale so we as modern humans stick to monogamous relationship? No. That’s very obvious, so where does it leave the state of ones loving relationship now knowing statistically we all get bored, or angry, or depressed or just plain fed up with partners. I’m just bein devils advocate.

true love has nothing to do with romantic love.
True love see”s from the enemies eyes and says “thank you, and I turn my other cheek”.
True love never angers, or is hurtful in any way.

I think honestly true love is grace for others predicament. Every single person on the planet is doing the best they can with what the have been given or taught. We all feel justified in how we feel so why let anyone hold any control over the ability to learn to love. Strangers, enemies, friends and family. Love as a religion keeps me going.
Always coming back to center to let go of my expectations of EVERYONE. Even people online hijacking a thread.

Great post.

I understand what you’re saying.

I’m just not that great of a person to love someone regardless of their actions.

Trolls will be trolls unfortunately.

Do you think that we do not have the capacity to love our one mate for a lifetime? Because we live so much longer now than any other time throughout history? I know marriage that is forever but we’re together a lot longer now. What do you think?

I’m not sure you’ve ever had true love. Our relationship has all that. Guess it’s not true love. :lol:

Some are lucky ones. Some are it seems born -unlucky.
I’m working at it. I also think this why the Greeks have what, 5 kinds of love. Not just one word. Because there are complexities to the meaning for different people, and we only have one word

I only met my wife at the age of 44. Sometimes it takes a little longer.

The different words for love are different types of love. I love my dog. But it’s not the same as the love for my father and that’s not the same as the love for my wife.

Agape is the strongest word for love they have, I think. Which I think is the word for, well I used to know all this stuff. Let’s ask @Laughing Grass about Greek words.

I think anyone whose truly been in love with someone, understands there are different levels to the word. I don’t need 5 different words differentiate between loving my wife and loving my job. (Which I don’t just an example)

Btw, I had no idea what love was apparently because this is the first time I’ve felt this way about a partner.

I know that the thought of not having her beside me is unbearable. Before, in my mind, I’ve always thought about that out. That feeling of being able to get over someone. Not this time.

Agape is like love for your fellow man, Eros is passionate, sexual love and the inspiration for Cupid by the Romans.
