its scary what love can do to your brain 1

I feel like I spontaneously turn into a different person every time I fall in love. Different priorities and different attitudes. Does anybody else get this? It's weird.
Also, holy fuck it induces some irrational decisions, I know this isn't just me but God damn. I'm not saying they're BAD decisions-- they can be very good and wise, in fact-- but it remains stuff no rational person would do.

Why do I normally change into someone I hate when falling in love and being in a relationship after learning to love myself when I am single?
Don't answer. I just don't think your theory is wholely true. Sounds nice tho.

I'm inclined to agree.
I feel alot better without that strange infatuation dominating my existence. Well...without that extra strange infatuation i should say because there's still the drugs. Now that's a love that stands the test of time.

I've never been in love with someone to this point, if at all. This post actually scares me away from it. I like to choose when I'm intoxicated. Not be forced. I dislike the irrational very much, especially when it comes to decision making.

Fuck love. Don't have time or money for it.
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Nah... Irrational attachment and love are totally different things. Attachment is one-sided, whereas love is mutual.
Love is rational but not in the individualistic dimension, making its essential rationality invisible to an individualistic culture such as ours. Therefore, the crazy shit we do for love can only be judged as rational in hindsight, depending on the outcome; without being able to see the future outcome of those choices, they cannot be rationalized at the moment they are made.
I call it the quantum theory of love

Love is just a mutual attachment.

I think we choose love, to some extent. It's not like being dosed without your knowledge or consent, you know what's happening and why it's happening, but the feels are intense enough that you're willing to take risks and make sacrifices that you'd never consider otherwise.

Well a huge problem I have is I have an obsessive compulsive personality.
And I'll let that speak for itself.
I do think partners tend to try to change the other for the best, directly or not, intentionally or not, and it can be good sometimes. Horrible at others. It all depends on the ground you stand on.

Ehh I fall in love pretty easy, but I get over it pretty quick too. My priorities are pretty fucked in any case tho. Everyone's are really. It's weird though because love is rather selfish, but not in your own best interest. I do get the weirdness of it all.

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.

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 tend to be a lot more conventional during relationships
Love is different than lust imo, I think love is the same for family as it is for sexual partners, but adding lust to the equation changes it... assuming one doesn't lust over family members. Its a lot easier to put a loved one aside if you mix in feelings of jealousy, sexual insecurities, etc. Personally I still love most of my ex's but realize we're a poor match.

love affections for family doesn't not have the same effect though, as love affections for a romantic/concupiscent interest.
love as a concept is malleable, i'd say (is what i mean).

I think the difference is its symbiotic connection with lust, and a closer physical connection
Different connections being changed by feelings of responsibility, comraderie, etc. As you said, malleable, but I think the base feeling is the same before being mixed with other emotions

Quote:
Apostle said: 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 .
Not the case with Irish Americans, but we have only been accepted as fully white in the past 100 years or so. I think you could probably say the same with Italians from what I have seen, where family comes before anything. I'm sure other ethnic groups too, but these ones I am intimately familiar with and I can say defy what you're saying for sure. I think you are right it is more the "American" part.

My view of love takes the spiritual route, being one with the substance of consciousness itself and the ethers which make up the whole of our collective consciousness, an inexpliable miracle.

i tend to agree.
once i experienced Shaktipat (a new phrase to me, recently- but it's definitely what it was), so i am convinced that...i haven't experienced true love to the capacity at which it is at it's zenith.

Interesting, I had this privilege during initiations with my old guru, and during brief experiences of darsana with a few other venerable individuals.
For the past few years Ive been pretty washed up despite progress in one or another area, but as soon as possible I intend on seeking out communion again.
Personally I dont think one can ever experience the zenith of love or consciousness, even viewing life from the meta consciousness, it is too vast for individual perception. The journey never ends.

Janus is a good representation of that.
but yes, no, it probably doesn't end- and there is that whole acceleration of the expansion of the universe thing, so there certainly no end, even physically; not in any way that'd be noticeable.

A shuddering vision appeared one day at the door of my house Pale spectre and shadow, as if the nose was a hole in the sky A shivering figure once dragged from the sea like a loathsome head Undressing before me, then tearing its flesh with demented glee Sha la la la la Sha la la la la Crept into the hallway, already at home on the carpet and walls Unpacking a suitcase, pale spectre in spare room and under my feet Now Jove he was half asleep for several hours that afternoon This unwanted creature crawled into a corner crying ‘Where is the moon?’ Sha la la la la Sha la la la la
Pale spectre and shadow cried, "Where is the moon tonight? It is like an enormous light" And I replied "Heaven’ll help you out, visitant, Heaven’ll help you out" "Heaven’ll help you out, visitant, Heaven’ll help you out" Pale spectre and shadow said, "Your tale is not quite right; it is just an outrageous lie" And I can’t deny Pale spectre and shadow cried, "Where is the moon tonight? It is like an enormous light And I replied I said sha la la la la . . . .
ohh yeah sha-la-la-la daaamn

Good point. True love is not wanting something from someone.
When we "fall in love" we actually love how we feel, not the other person.
Love isn't obsession. The common phrase, "love hurts" should cause us pause.

The 'romantic love' I've felt in the past has felt stifling and suffocating. They occupied my mind all the time and it drove me mad. Not very healthy at all. Probably a combination of being with the wrong people and my own issues. I don't think I've ever experienced true mutual romantic love.

"love" is hell, "love" sucks

people with no sense of individuality/self get lost in lust and think it's love, then they lose themselves...potato

indeed, lmfao
Love, as we have defined it primarily in this thread, seems to be the mutual affection between two people in an ongoing, romantic relationship, or courtship.
However, that is just one aspect of love, and it gets so screwy because it's involved with sexuality.
Why does love drive us mad when it's the romantic kind? Because something about sharing our bodies with another person is deeply confirming of our basic value as a human being, reinforced by cultural standards of 'sex is success'.
It's one thing to feel the animalistic inspiration of sex along with genuine affection, yet people tend to take it too far and create a whole new identity around being accepted so fully by another. In my opinion, relationships or courtship is not nearly as important as feeling daily compassion and warmth for others as a member of the human race.
It takes a lot of strength of will to be in a relationship and to remain unhampered by overweening attachments, to feel that love without letting it turn into lust.
and therein lies the dilemma.

In romance and love we often become enmeshed and lose our independent identity.
If it ends we can feel angry, empty, lost, with no drive to live. We don't feel human.
When a lover leaves us, we adopt the title of "dumped". The crown of victim-hood.
