Yeah, did you catch that stuff about Phanes-Eros, and the Erotic urge coming into being at the same time as the Void and the Fundament?
Now on a more serious note: Why do you think that love is a trap to keep you in this existence, galadofwarthethird?

Your evil ways and feminine charms wont work on me, eye c right through ya Aeons. Does you husband know you troll for possible dudes online, who let you on the computer anyways. Shouldn't you be in the kitchen, don't you have some dude to make a sammich or something.
Because I can. And if I can I will.
Now that you mention it, sandwich making is very important. I have always fallen for guys who make a good meal. And I have been told that my culinary skills are a big plus. Huh. I have known women who date a string of cooks who are otherwise abysmal partners, b/c of the outstanding chow.
Also, you're being wicked harsh and unjust toward Aeons.
Fair enough, man.
I could be in love with almost anyone...
I could be in love with almost anyone...
Is this being leveraged against us?
I don't know how you want it
You don't know how you want it
Why don't we talk about it?

Now this is kind of big. We view our relationships through the lens of a market mentality: I get x, I'll give you y. The relationship then becomes open to the introduction of other trade dynamics: you make me angry, I cut off your supply of y to punish you.
It happens all the time.
I imagine it doesn't help matters at all that the things we are told to want from eachother do not line up with what we actually want or need.edit on 29-1-2012 by Eidolon23 because: ...
This conspiracy is mind boggling, but I suppose if there is a conspiracy against lovers. Then love must exist or else what else would be the point of making a conspiracy against something that does not exist.

When does one move from knowing that mutual reciprocity is necessary to an indiscreet industrialization of love?

This whole love thing is giving me headaches, and even my little bird is screaming to abandon ship and cut all ties. But I have never listened to anyone so why should I listen to it.

As you will Aeons.
And I could imagine other things, but I don't feel like it.
It's like that old saw about the devil: convincing us that it doesn't exist is the ultimate rabbit out of a hat.
But to be convinced that Love doesn't exist?
That's a more impressive trick by far.
Total abstinence is so excellent a thing that it cannot be carried to too great an extent. In my passion for it I even carry it so far as to totally abstain from total abstinence itself.
...Mark Twain.
Yeah, everyone's little bird should be squawking when it encounters this primal crap.
Mine sure is.
But should we jump ship? Just because it hurts to be aboard?
I think maybe the pain is telling us the most important thing we should hear.
Well then, as a proof of concept, perhaps we should try to understand what would motivate you to such imagineering.

Aeons you know I think I promised to be nice to you.
Yup just checked and I did just that not that far back. Hmm! how to put this so I don't insult you.
A good question Aeons what would motivate me to such imagineering? The answer is...Me! offcourse, I can and will imagine what I want to imagine. But there is more to that, and that you don't need to know.
If one does truly have no interest in love, that is fair enough. I do wonder if that is not really true, since it is such a primal experience but all the same I would not force it upon someone who doesn't want it even if I could.
So you are safe from our manipulations galad.
