(no subject)
Tonight I realized that the term "in love" does not fit with the preposition "with". "Love" is merely a state of being. You can just be in it. You don't have to be in love with the world, with life, and certainly not with another person. In fact, when you assign an object, it ceases to be "love" as "love" is not a verb. And, in assigning an object, you are separating subject from object and this cannot be "love". I see "love" as identification of oneself with everything else which is. It doesn't even have anything to do with relationship, something which at the most fundamental level does not even exist. You can feel "love" associated with whatever object or experience you are focusing on. But, in doing so, you are limiting the reach which is infinite. Uniting the term "in love" and "with" reduces the infinite to the finite. It is a contradiction.
Now, affection is something else entirely.
Somehow this notion makes me feel very much at peace.
