Why do we fall in LOVE?
Posted: 12/9/2006 10:41:32 PM

That' s what it' s all about...


it's just a convenient way for people to excusee lust.

love you kids nd the hugs they offer for no other reason than they feel like it. love your family, your friends. love your goldfish, your dog or your cat. love your car, the game of chess with your neighbour, the colour of your house. love your house and the furniture you lounge on. love the music that makes your feet move and your heart skip a beat. love ts eliot for the ladies and their spoons. love shakespeare for iago, falstaff and hamlet. love that joni mitchell pointed out tath we are stardust and golden. blake for his speck of sand and einstein for mystifying us by pointing out that matter is but energy. i've rediscovered a love for fresh grapes.

these things will last and they will change.

love between men and women? neh. it lasts as long as the hormones stay in the system.

love yourself and have fun. that'll last a lifetime.

I think it's a damn good idea to be thankful that we can and don't question it!

... similar as 'kiss of life'

To biologically bond individuals in order to cultivate stronger support systems for raising familes, protecting communities/towns and providing the necessary resources for survival of the species. Love is the quality which protects, saves, heals, and maintains the human species individual members. Without it, individuals have a less likely chance of surviving and reproducing. Self-love has the same quality of permitting the individual to incorporate their individual selves into the available resources.

Tough question for me to answer! I don't know... definitely something to think about!


But it does feel good to be in love!

^^^^Exactly. Love: An altered hormonal state in which we are inexplicably attracted to another; it usually lasts just long enough for the woman to get pregnant, have a child, and for said offspring to be able to walk on it's own.

Most people have no idea what the 'chemistry' is behind the attraction. The information is out there, though, and it's much easier to find now with the 'net. I still don't think most people really want to know the truth about it. They'd rather think it's 'meant to be', or 'fate'. I spent years reading about the dynamics of attraction. I do conciously know exactly why I am attracted to one person, and not another. Doesn't always make things easier, though.

LOVE – Yes it fosters biological life.....and it is the intelligence of the heart; a force greater than our minds, which are merely screens that read frequencies. It’s best to encourage oneself to periodically empty the mind in order to bypass these distracting screens. When we clear it, we flow into a dark inner labyrinth made of pathways to our heart. Thought travels faster than light yet love travels even faster. This enables us to recognize our soul mates and others that radiate to higher frequencies of light like Jesus and Buddha. This light (love) vibrates divine immanence and our response to it is called grace.

ahha! so i'm correct that none of my exs actually knew what love is/was despite their assertions to the contrary. still have no idea whay they use the 'L' word still even though they left to go and get naked with some other guy. good news is that none of them looked like jesus or buddha.

its symbolic--the god uniting w the goddess,or
if ur atheist, each partner is half the universe

this sacred aspect is only a small part in most relationships however,
as most ppl are respondin to biological programmin

I don’t see anything “symbolic” about falling in love or about love itself. Love is an energy force; it is to be felt, not read about or studied. It is to be felt. It is the glue that holds all life together. If you think this isn’t true try to imagine a world without ANY love. It wouldn’t last very long.

... and when you lucky enough to encounter it and feel it, n u r t u r e it and c h e r i s h and won't let go.

Hmmm... thinking about this energy force ... last time we spoke he mentioned 'hottie' , I suggested 'charger' . But hey, we were still on the same page

We fall in love cause its a given.We are suppose to its expected of us.But there is no certain timeframe for anyone.Some have the good luck to know when it hits them.O thers it just strikes out the blue.But at one time or another you have been in love just not known it.

Because it really makes better for sex, and we don't like to spend our days and nights alone.

Why do we fall in love? Well, because its a state where everything becomes a little better. Its a state where somehow, everything has a reason and anything is possible. I do love to be in love.

Your father is an extraordinary guy -- he is so right. If you are lucky (as I have been) and find that one person who you would never want to be without, don't screw up. There is nothing better than finding someone whose values and traits you admire over all else. Sex grabs the attention,, but it is the other person's character that keeps it.

I wish true love for all of you. The kind that makes taking care of someone through all the ups and downs, including illness to death and considering just the experience of having the privledge to be there with them a blessing.

There are three components to love. All must be "triggered" in the beloved in just the right way.

1. sex. male/female
2. their way of interacting with the world. introvert/ extrovert
3. their idea-self. liberal/ conservative

As these three aspects of the beloveds personality are affirmed, because they are the deepest most significant part of ones personality, they will experience a feeling so deep, so complete, that the one who causes this feeling in them will become the most important person in there life. Like a pinball machine, as each aspect of their personality is affirmed, now one then the other, the lights come on, and soon a cumulative effect happens, and all the lights light up and the ball shots like crazy! You'll take their breath away!

Only love can do this. Because it requires VERY CLOSE ATTENTION to the beloved. And is not attention just another form of love? She/he must inspire you! Not as just a sex object.

peace

I heard that only fools fall in love. I've never been in love and don't plan on it EVER!!!!!!


One can not plan on it or say that it will never happen. Love happens without restriction or bounds and avoiding it is an option, but controlling it is not. When true love grasps you, you will not even be aware of what is taking place but God will be there and you will learn of that which you deny yourself.

We fall in Love because that is our very purpose on this earth as human beings, to decipher the differences of the flesh from that of the soul. When true love presents itself it is a mere glimpse of what God has in store for us in the hereafter.

We are given tests throughout our span and falling in love is the greatest test of spiritual,intimate, and purely passionate being. So many times have we taken this for granted and instead of cultivating it, we try to control it and that is a paradox.

Love is unconditional and can only be found by those who have given it and can not be defined for True, unconditional Love is un-fathomable.

God Bless and best wishes to all

An awesome concept!

Hats off to you, excellent post.

Now I must go ponder...
