Sooo...

Sunanya thinks I'm boy crazy now because I mentioned the Korean guy ONCE. >[ I mean, really. And she was the one to bring him up anyways. ><;; And if you haven't heard the story, I went with Fenna, [and Claire, and *lots* of other people] downtown for Karoake and we happened to meet this guy there. No biggie. >[ So stop making such a big deal about

Love is complicated, so I try and stay out of it. Maybe your friend is the one who likes him (if she even brought him up in the first place), and so eagerly accused YOU of liking him out of desperation to identify the competition (unless of course he ain't all that and nobody likes him at all, which sucks for him)...XD
I miss Tammy....

[hushed_hopes]

Ahh. She doesn't know him. ^^; And neither do I. I just mentioned him in a conversation. Has Minh heard the story yet?

Okay, I went to Karaoke with some people, and there was this Korean guy working there. We were *slightly* early, and he was mopping the store. My friend mentioned that he was cute and I agreed. Surprisingly enough, there are cute guys in Texas. Who knew? xD Okay, there's one. But hey, it was pretty interesting. But remember, he works there and he probably smokes. Eww. Smoker.

Ahh. Well, I don't believe in love don't like anyone and I probably won't. I'm seriously questioning the value of love at this moment. :[

[beanerchick]

You really shouldn't Tammy. I have no experience in the area, sure. But love, you don't need experience to value to the concept

[hushed_hopes]

I know. I vaule the concept but I'm not sure that I want it for myself. The idea of it is intriguing, sure. And being in love is supposedly a high right? But I'm not sure to even go looking for it at this moment in time.

I think, well. You already know that I'm prone to pain. And my feelings are very dear to me. I'm not sure that I want to open myself up to anyone at this moment and time. I trust myself with you guys, and sometimes, yes, it hurts. But I don't want anyone else to have that power or control over me. To hurt me, and I'm not willing to go looking for that person

Love is just a human exaggeration of the purely biological instinct to have sex with another person in order to reproduce and further increase the species' numbers.
Sorry. That's just the sad, cold truth.

[dancing_wings]

Then is all the couples out there who claim to be 'in love' wrong? All the friends who love one another at fault?

And what happens to those who want to be in love, to those who dream of falling in love one day, to enjoy the feeling everyone believes as pure happiness? Are they wrong to think that way?

If love is just a human exageration for SEX, then I honestly don't think there is any point in living.

[hushed_hopes]

Well, I can't agree taht all the couples who claim to be 'in love' are right, since I too, have no expertise in the area. ;_; I don't know if 'love' and 'in love' are the same thing. You can love someone right? Truly, and purely love them, but what the hell does being 'in love' mean?

Emotions are just an human exaggeration of everything. We try to explain what we feel into words, what happens to us in words. You may be right that love is just an biological instinct, however, that makes happiness and pain also a biological instinct. [which, actually, wouldn't be too far off] Therefore, all emotions are a biological interest. But that doesn't mean that there's no truth in being happy or sad, or simply 'in love'.

If love is just sex, than what's the whole point of children? And getting married? And dying for each other? And what's the deal with love between friends? Or a friendly love, a parental love [maternal?] love? xX; What about all the loves that didn't involve sex, who's to say that that isn't love?

[minhthegenius]

They are wrong only in thinking that their love will last for the rest of their lives. I've lost all my faith in true love after knowing how many divorces, break-ups, cheating, polygamies, and perverts who watch porn are out there in the world. And the friends who love one another at fault are not wrong, for can you really consider that type of friendship "love," or rather, an emotional closeness on a lower level?

Those people who dream about it...They're not wrong to think that way either. Only wrong in thinking that it will last forever. Happiness is fleeting; why should love be any different.

Love is...what leads up to sex (excluding rape, prostitution, and etc.).

Hey, you should join Philosophy Club!! Its this kind of talk that gets people thinking and understanding their true beliefs! By telling you all this and expressing these opinions, I now know for sure what it is about love that ticks me off.
Fridays at lunch, in Room A-13 at Granada as supervised by Ms.Caggiano.

[quolloquial]

My parents have been married for more than 20 years. They're still very much in love. =X;; And I've seen relationships last a lifetime. That's why, regardless of its scarce probability, I believe in its existence.

By the way, Minh, please come tomorrow [Friday] for our first meeting! AUUUUUGH, I'M SCARED OUT OF MY WITS. >.<;;

[quolloquial]

Firstly, Minh, there are people who are in love who never have sex. xDDD Granted, reproduction does play a vital role in intimate human interaction, but it doesn't answer why people select particular 'significant others'. If we define 'love' as the positive relationships between people, there is no fixed answer; we feel something different towards different people. Hence, as Tammy said, your theory fails to define the love between friends, family, pets, etc.

Secondly, if love merely were to increase our species' numbers, then animals/plants/other reproductive organisms would possess a similar function. However, unlike the aforementioned organisms [who reproduce with any other of their kind], humans feel and utilize 'love' as a discriminatory connection/feeling. With that distinction, love is more than a mere tool to reproduce. Because if humans lived and loved merely to make babies, then you would have to argue that [when love is in the equation] we'd do it with anyone we come across. Which, as you will notice, we don't. So once

[minhthegenius]

...You sure? ;D

[quolloquial]

Absolutely. :] There are some generalizations you just can't make until you've examined every possible relationship [which is virtually impossible].

Of course you don't consciously select them. That is why we consider love to be the most unfathomable human mystery: because, for some reason, it manifests itself differently to everyone; it has no unequivocal form. If we could control it, do you really think we'd make that big a deal out of it? Seriously. xP

The love that binds marriage is something none of us can really define right now, seeing as I don't think any of us are getting married anytime soon. xD Or making that lifelong devotion to any particular person.

Ah, but who are you to say animals don't think? We are intellectual, but we are simultaneously extensions of their kingdom, are we not? They actually do communicate with each other, Minh, though not in any language we can understand. xD So that's no excuse

[minhthegenius]

...Yeah, I guess you're right. It just seems awfully impossible for two people to be together for so long and not have done it at least once (even when taking into consideration eunichs, infertile partners, and, um, other "handicapped" persons).

Well, thank goodness for subconsciousnesses...Hey, this kind of seems like the Philosophy Club meeting we had today! :D And Mrs.Caggiano seems a good teacher! XD
We should figure out a way to better facilitate meetings, though.

But what I'm worried about is (I shouldn't even be worrying about this kind of situation seeing as how none of us are in it, but...), is that love that binds marriage ever lifelong...?
Heh, that's what Katie from PC said, too! Man is today way deja vu...

I'll take your word for it. If love doesn't turn out to be that good, I'll spread on the news to other people. I guess right now I can take my chances. Okay. ;]
Look out love of my life, here I come!! I'm not giving up on winning your heart yet!!!

[quolloquial]

Couples die together. It happens. xDD;;

(I think her name is spelled "Katy". xP)

Well, the only time you can accurately spread "the word about love" is on your deathbed, when you have loved from every stage of life. :] Good luck with that endeavor.

Ah, well...Minh, you don't have to force him to like you. xD At this point, feeling is probably most genuine when it comes on its own.
