Love Ponderances

Well, this post, is about emotions, and love, and what not.

My friend Whitney and I were talking about some of these things last night, at a late hour, and I thought I'd write about them, because I thought it would be interesting.

Whitney and I were talking about her wish for perfection.
I said that there was nothing really wrong with wanting perfection, as long as one understands that except in the matter of true love nothing can be perfect.
Quote: What do you mean perfect? And what's wrong with WANTING perfect, as long as you accept that perfection is impossible except in the matters of love./

Later on, Whitney went on to say this: Love is perfect, But we are too corrupt in ourselves to experience pure love, We have too many negative emotions.

But here's my take on it. Each emotion, negative or positive, is a pure emotion, and is a branch off of love. Physical pain doesn't count as an emotion. Anyway, since each emotion in my opinion is part of love, and is pure, then love IS pure, given that both people involved are experiencing TRUE love, and not puppy/fake/corrupt love.

She asked after that, how something like fear, or hate can be part of love.
Well, fear, can be part of love, because you can truly fear losing that person.

As for hate. Hm. Perhaps you hate yourself for loving someone who doesn't reciprocate your feelings? Or hate somebody who killed/hurt/stole/whatever'd one of your loved ones? In those cases, I think that hate is a part of love. She said that hate is an absence of love, but I think it really depends on the scenario.

I think she's right, a lot of people ARE too corrupt to feel true love and pure love, but some people I think are still capable of it, even in the corruption we live in on a daily basis.

Later on, she mentioned that she thinks about this sort of stuff a lot, and possibly attributed it to her emotionally confused state.

I responded to that with this: I don't think it's more than you can handle. But you're thinking about it in such a way that your mind/heart/soul/whatever you'd like to believe can't fully accept it the WAY you're thinking about it, but if you somehow look at things from a different view, your mind/soul/heart would accept it. However! Do I pretend to know HOW to change the way you look at something? Nope. Sorry.

She said that she always seems to go in a circle with her thinking, and wind up back where she started.
Well, I think that's perfectly normal to do. Everyone does that sometimes, if not frequently, I think, and I think that's part of how we need to as a society change the way we think, so that we start going in a line, instead of in a circle, so to say.

So, back to the love thing.
I think she's right, I think a lot of people really ARE too corrupted to experience pure love, but I think she's wrong about us having too many negative emotions. Negative emotions are part of love too, I think, but I think that some people, really are incapable of love. They can act it, but not truly feel it. It's a pitiful thought to think that someone will never experience that feeling. But I think in this day and age, people care only for their own emotions, and rarely care whether other people experience the same thing as they do or not. It's a sad realization.

Anyway, that's pretty much all I wanted to say, just figured I'd write on here, what I talked about last night, because I thought it was interesting.
Read it, if you wish, comment if you wish. Ignore it if you wish. :)
