"Love" is often described as a condition where a single person is more important to you than the whole world.
And sometime more so, where being without that person is terrible thought, something which would ruin your life.
That's not love, that's a psychotic/neurotic condition.
It may be common, but that does not change that fact.

Jed McKenna said sanity is a numbers game. If enough people have an idea or condition, it's not seen as insane.
I think this song accurately captures the spirit of love as it's commonly defined. To paraphrase the artist, people think of love as a force for good when in truth it sometimes inspires terrible things. No, love is not a force for good, it's simply a force with multiple manifestations.

Hmm... can it be considered insanity, anyway, if Nature intended it to be?
ReplyDeleteI think Love can be viewed as an individual insanity that's highly sensible for the survival of the species. :-)
