It's not love it's lust. It's chemicals in the brain that intoxicate.

I've fallen in love many times, it's always different. I appreciate it for its own sake, even though it's usually devastating at some point.

arbitrary distinction as far as we're talking. I mean it's not scary what loving my momma can do to my brain, that's not what we're talking about.

Yea but that's the difference right there, love(like for mom) is unconditional, it lasts forever.
Since all of my relationships have ended, i'm inclined to believe i was never really in love. Or at the very least that it wasn't mutual. Infatuated, maybe.
My parents have been together for over 30 years. They will likely die together.that's Love.
Everyone is entitled to their own interpretation but i think the label "love", just like the word "friend", is often used too liberally.

Human beings cannot determine what love actually is until they determine what the definition of love is.
Evolutionary love, of a social species, is what your chemical base of love FEELINGS are.
But love is more than a feeling.

I know i love my mom. Without a doubt. i'd die for her, do time for her, and maybe i'd kill for her but i'd rather not entertain that idea since i value human life.
It's certainly more than a feeling. Its an unbreakable bond and sense of belonging to one another that no amount of time or distance away can change.
Romantic love isn't as easy to define and like you said that is the first step before we can even attempt to validate the concept in specific situations.

I don't really love family like that. I have seen them betray me. I have seen them distant and hate me. Even beet me and them say how much they hate me.
Love is a protocol.

Are you Caucasian American?
no offense to white folks but my white friends always seemed less tight-knit than the families of my hispanic friends and i.
For example my one white friend threw a screwdriver at his mom in an argument and another white friend of mine was kicked out at 16 yrs old just for having weed. Both things being completely unheard of in my reality. They also both ate mostly microwaved dinner items and weren't required to be at the table everynight for a family meal like me and my hispanic friends were. It probably has less to do with the white part and more to do with American but almost all of my friends were white and the pattern of extremely disrespectful kids and seemingly detached parents was prevalent. Some instances where parents called cops on their kids, something mine would never do .

you'd be accurate in saying that white people, generally, are too wrapped up in their own "lives" to care to keep a tight-knit family.

Culture does have alot to do with it.
I wish I could tell you why alot of both caucasian and african american families are more distant than they were. I probably could come up with a theory but my mind is half dead right now. But I do think it is families that have been in America for a few generations at least that are more likely to be this way.

Love is way more fucking addictive than any drug out there. I like how it was put though... its almost like being forced to be intoxicated... which is almost what it really is. You judgement goes all irrational and you do things you never would.
But the high from love... ahahaha nothing fucking comes close.

i'm just speaking from experience. no need for broad strokes when i'm speaking anecdotally.
nice job outing yourself, though, as a big bullshitter. man, still living in the woods? much family in the woods?

it's not your comment that bugs me; it's the redundant and boring notion of people's impression and emulation of amusement.
