Everything plays out so predictably, yet chaotic

Nothing is a coincidence
Today my brother helped me burn a video DVD. Today I discovered the meaning of life. The meaning of life is to increase to higher levels of love. You are only given as much love as you can handle. Once you have just the slightest spark, it is then only a matter of time before someone needs YOUR love.
When you have less love, you become everything that negates joy, negates love. Every compliment, every act of creative expression stings, it hurts. It feels like the universe is rubbing it in your face that you can’t have fun.
The paradox is that you can’t have the good without the bad. There will always be someone empty of love so that other people can know what love is.
Love is the creative energy of the Universe, and what does this creative energy create? More of itself! More love! The Universe is love, infinitely expanding in all directions!
Love is at the center of our experience. It feels good to know this.

indeed i'll never forget the ecstatic state that was brought on from discovering that the Universe was made up of the most powerful, pure energy known (or unknown). that which is love.

It isn't a matter of being "given" love, from what I've come to understand, but rather a question of how receptive one is to the experience of love, and thus expressing and sharing love with others. Love manifests within us naturally.

This statement makes no sense to me, and it does not seem to be substantiated at all. Do you have any support for this idea? If I am sitting here, totally immersed in the experience of love, it doesn't mean that I'm sitting on a triple beam balance, by which someone sitting in Tokyo thereby experiences less love, as far as I can tell or understand.
In fact, the idea that someone is experiencing love implies that more individuals will experience love, dependent upon how receptive or obstructed their mind is to the experience, as they will naturally interact with reality in a manner that will tend to express that love.

It feels better to experience it, especially knowing that it is being shared in the most amazing way.

I discovered the meaning of life.
We all choose what the meaning of life is. There is no objective way to know what the meaning of life is. You and I think it's about love and someone else sees it as the acquisition of material goods.

that's a distraction.
I know a website that's got more than 1000 pages of asses. I am so addicted to asses, so much so that i am thinking of starting something like assholics anonymous.
Back to the OP:
Imagine a child born to violence prone, drug ingesting parents, growing up in a environment where that child receives little or almost no love, do you think that child growing up into adolescence, be capable of giving and receiving love? Most likely he or she would be prone to any number of psychotic disorders. There may be exceptions though.

When I was a kid a girl pulled down her pants and showed me her vagina.
I said "Turn around, let me see your butt."
Do you actually expect us to stay OT with those pics EC?

you are the only one who understands the insanity. good work.
back to the subject: sorry kid love is unfortunately the only way we can experience the devine. I agree love is great, it is grand. However you miss the crucial step.
basically:
whatever the rules are, whatever the universe dictates, the question is... can we experience the truth? can a dog know what is means to be alive? he can run, he can walk, but he doesn't know the difference between life and sniffing his ass.
To assume we get it is naive, though i love the idea that we are trying. The answer to your question doesn't matter, it is the quest for the answer that matters.
Look for the answer, you will find something. Thats good enough. Even the buddah was human.

The mind is a prison. To exist wholly in the mind is to be not much more than a reactive robot.
