Distracting myself from studying

Oct 08, 2003 21:57

I must REALLY not want to study, because I just HAD to post some cohering thoughts from conversations through out the day:

Me regurgitating Shulamith Firestone:

love is not altrusitic, but selfish
love is based off of a selfish desire to appropriate the attributes one finds admirable in other people
and the best way to do that is to become closer with them, become intimate, become "one" with them
hence love
(note the contrast with my earlier post in which I collaborated with Robert. Sorry, Robert)

My friend Marco, with some Jordan thrown in:

1. everyone needs a passion in their life that isnt a human, to be strong against or unified with that person they love passionalety..
because that passion (film, for instance in me) will give me power to believe in myself, trust the love i give to it, that passion (not human) will always give back more love to me, unfiltered...whereas a human always filters ur love bak to u, and u dont always like it.

2. its that corny saying put down to thought: u cant love another if u dont love urslef.. but i can tell u y
when letting someone "fall in love with u", if that "u" that they love isnt someone "u" love, then ull not love "them", cuz u dont want them to love this "u" that not even "u" cant love. so that causes problems, doubts. the unasked question of "why do they love me if im so ugly to myself" goes unspoken and not approached.

3. Jordan: a good way to make relationships lastis by imagining that you're in love with yourself.passionately and obsessively in love with yourself.
Marco: to love someone else is to love urself. cuz u love the way they love u. u love what they love about "u". ure in love with urself, so theyre really a tool, whch goes to ur theory, the selfish one.

All typos have been preserved. If you don't like them, fuck off.

My Grand theory that literally has to be SEEN to be believed. I mean, really, I made a diagram. And I am taking it to my professors. :)

Men show masculinity to the world. And have hidden femininity that they share with few people. This femininity is very real, despite its being hidden. Men show desire for an idealized version of a woman, who don't exist. This ideal woman is opposed to the real woman in the man. And the real desire, the hidden desire is not actually for the woman, but for the relationship of the ideal man to the ideal woman. In another sense, the real masucline side of the man desires the ideal female, masking that the real feminine side desires the ideal male. He wants to transform himself into the ideal man by taking the ideal man's place as lover to the ideal woman. Thus he attempts to kill his real femininity, of which he is ashamed.

Seriously, I will show you the diagram. It fucking works. And this shit is copyrighted, mother fucker, so don't even try to steal my ideas!!!

Angry dissagreements, ecstatic praise, comments of any kind are welcomed.
