![]() Choose love, and think about how and who to love. Use your mind and strength to avoid selfishness and cruelty. Loving thought and discernemnt and committment should be. To take a second can possibly be cruel to the first and selfish to him. Love involves committment so to leave the first love is not ideal. It perhaps shows generaous affection but does not really care. Then your second love has a division too. If you have a first love, you could leave with him a piece of your soul, to varying extents, a lot if it involves sex. If he is with a girl than to attract him is self centred in one angle and a misgiving generosity in another angle, to him. It inovlves presence of mind, knowing the past and future, it has intelligence. It involves kindness and patience in committment. Character, do you love it? Will, what is it about and their feelings and mind and heart too? To love it means manners, so good manners, unselfishness, not self centred objectives and self interest only or at all. To love someone is different than to love a feeling or even just an image, and voice. Without it, we would not dare to take those risks. It is our imagined safety net (whether it actually works like that or not is another matter) that allows us to take the greatest risks with a few people. In a sense, it is less important to us what it is, than that it provides the binding force that emotionally binds us to our closest points within our society, the people upon whom we choose to depend the greatest. In a sense, yes, it is a delusion, but it is also part of the illusion by which we create our place in our world, and by which we view how we relate the people closest to us. OK, I suppose the question of love is a very diverse one, since the word has been used to describe about half the human emotions one can be susceptible to. Ofcourse, self delusion can be a very powerful and potent force, and can even cure some illnesses. I then came to the conclusion that love is a form of self delusion, and I am not sure to this day if I have a better answer than that. This is a question I have asked myself since I was 10 years old.
