OOoo society and its misconception. See that atricle wasn't talking about the emotion of love, it talked about the ideal of romantic love as the ONLY perception of love, forgoing the fact that love as an emotion is a constant day to day thing. Really understand that love is an emotion whose job it is to excite us (sometimes scare us) into feeling, feelings. This isn't my thinking this is the new age of "Emotional Intellegence" that trys to circunvent the problems humanity has with defining not only its self, but this concept of intellegence were always gabbin on about. I agree with the article as far as romantic love goes, but it doesn't give credit to the emotion in a health way. See love is so misunderstood in our culture as to be the cause of almost all social problems. But that goes deeper then I wish to go let me just give you some highlights here. Did you know that neo-nazi's actually love black people, its true! Shoot they feel more for the minorities then they do for themselves, see love doesn't mean happy, romantic, feelings, it just means FEELING!!! So anger in all its gloury is actually a concequence of love! Not loving right mind you, but nether does a abusive husban, a neglectful parent, or any other bigot. Its the nature of the human heart that anything we feel weather you can call it good, evil, right or wrong is because of the emotion of love. See the only time man has done good at hating anything is when he choice not to feel a thing. Like when we step on a bug and just kept on walking, or when we look'd at someone or ourselves and descided we weren't worth the trouble. Which most of us do, thats true hate. The reason people have lost faith in love these days isn't because love is wrong, but because we are on how to use it, and its nature. Romance is only part of it, but people want to believe that its all of it. Why I guess they love the fantasy better then the reality..... to bad becasue it so much more intense then we like to believe it is. Our lives for one person, how selfish, when in the end true love, means loving everyone! Wait I mean accepting the feelings we feel for everyone....
