there is as much love in the world now, if not more, then there has ever been.
to think otherwise would just be a self-made delusion that would justify complaining that there isnt any more love in some hope to get certain melancholic chemicals in your brain pumping that make us feel
oh-so-warm.

or maybe your wrong about that? To me i see a lot of carelless people who as time goes by, could care less about the world around them. Thats just my opinion of course, (i think its more of a fact than you obviously do, but im not going to despute the issue). Regardless of your thoughts on subjective view of love in this world, there are more careless people than their use to be, if i may generalize some more. But enough of that. the point is i think here... to say i love you. and to drop our bullshit and be human. so hugs? .... awwww

no, Im very right. how can you possibly come to the conclusion that there are more careless people nowadays then there were 400 years ago. 400 years ago, if a group of white people went and enslaved and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people...no one would give a fuck. But because the world has now become culturally-interactive, people care what happens to other people. I want an in-depth and logical explanation as to how you have come to your conclusions. NOW!

I'll be sure not to get out of line in one of your threads again.
your point was a beautiful one. now if you're not willing to accept others' views and observations, dismissing them instead as "venting their spleen", then why post at all? would you like us to regurgitate your posts back to you? god forbid we should have our own thougts..

That's the thing - with an increased amount of love in the world, there's going to be an increased amount of hate.. It's all about balance - why is it so hard for some people to grasp this concept!

i agree... we don't need MORE irrational emotions driving the conditions of this world, we need more rational THOUGHT.

There is no need to be irrational in order to love, and there is no natural law that requires love to be balanced by hate.

For those who think Love is an irrational emotion, I think you are confusing LOVE with infatuation. The Love That Mr Mushroom kind of is talking about, is not a blind love, is a state of consciousness where you are one with everything, were you transcend your self, were you understand that to hurt some one else is to hurt yourself, were you can love with out the need to be loved back, and ultimately you understand that love is the primordial force that makes up our Universe.

I absolutely hate it when I am placed in a position to defend myself, my thoughts, or my actions. The only other recourse I have is to remain silent, which most of the time I do because I don't normally expend energy in places where there is a law of diminishing return.
That said in no way do I not accept others views on any topic. Everyone is entitled to their opinion no matter how wrong-headed it may be. It is not my place to convince anyone of anything. My primary obligation is to myself in regard to learning and observing.
My post wasn't directed at you per se nor was it meant to be taken personal which is obviously the way you took it. I merely concluding after watching the thread that it was time for that kind of reminder.
Of course any response directed to you has to be personal in nature and perhaps that is what you wanted. I have no way of knowing that though.
This is another reason why I don't read or post here very much. I am not interested in personal arguments or flinging mud at one another. Certainly there are more important things to do in life than argue with someone on the Internet. Isn't there?
Furthermore that kind of arguing is yet another example of how love is waning in our lives today. Some spend time arguing with others that they do not know and in the process add more pain and grief into their lives. That isn't just an example of a lack of love.
It's also pathetic.

Mr Mushrooms: "I absolutely hate it when I am placed in a position to defend myself, my thoughts, or my actions" well....maybe you shouldnt make your thoughts public if you dont like to defend them when they come under public scrutiny>? -you presented an idea, that "love" is waning. People (myself included) criticized that idea. This is generally how human communication works. I dont think "love" is waning, you do. Thusly a discussion arises. get over it. If you all you want is to make bold statements and have them automatically accepted, buy a parrot.

Bloody utopian visionaries.
Every time I take advantage of someone else - harming them and benefiting me - I do not hurt myself. I hurt them, and by way of that help myself.
I acknowledge the possibility that we are, indeed, all one mind. However, I have seen precious little proof to indicate this; I know I exist, but I see nothing that indicates the harm I inflict incidentally on others has any etheric repercussions on me. I do not believe in karma, nor have I seen any evidence of it.
I do acknowledge that the most efficient system of interaction between beings is one of mutual aid, compassion, and understanding - "love," if you wish to call it that. However, it is a system that MUST be participated in by all beings involved. Given the general selfishness of humans, such a system (much like communism) is not possible in the forseeable future.

So you have chosen your spiritual orientation for the time being. I respect that. Though it is not the orientation I have chosen.

Try reading my posts in their proper context.
You completely misunderstood what I said.
I am not here to have personal arguments. If, at some point, you wish to debate something with me address some of the points I have made and say something directly to me with in the context. Then, we can discuss the merits of each of our own viewpoints and learn something.
Wouldn't that be cool?
