Does love make it easier, or harder, to be philosophical?

    Hi Morpheus,

    In my opinion : 'Easier'.. When the bound between two people is strong... and based : on respect, trust, friendship and understanding... When there is room to communicate with one another on a deeper level... I believe it is. Two-like-minded-people.. or souls.... It's easier to share some philosophical viewpoints about certain subjects, in my opinion : when there is 'love'. :D

    And, therefore.. They learn to know some interesting perspectives about each other on a deeper level, what is in my opinion very good. :)

    My thoughts...

    Thank you for your question, Morpheus. :) .. And, take care of yourself.

    My regards.

    No matter how it may become easier or harder, Still the point is that it feels so right at that moment.

    From there should I ever learn, whether it can be folly or not.

    How sweet it seems is to feel the bitter pain that may intrude after, just because it was brought by love and dreams.

    First one, then the other. Love pushes us to try the impossible, to be fearless and better than ourselves. Then Love turns us fragile, clingy, suffering like addicts without a cure. Ultimately, Love makes everything harder but we go for it anyway. That's what makes it Love, after all.

    The resistance and propulsion for the mind neither goes up nor down, but the mind is filled with more content. Would terror change either resistance against the mind or increase internal propulsion. You can see the trouble when you attempt to compare love with terror. If we restrict our thinking to description and measurement, our chances for arriving at a logically coherently consistent conclusion is far better. Love's increase for content makes it the more progressive emotional condition (data count over time; self plus other equals more data; dialogue happens in a socially positive emotional condition, love is a positive social condition).

    More difficult. Love clouds the mind and makes phiolsophy almost impossible. If you don't believe me, how many of the great philosophers were in love?

    It depends on what you're exploring philosophically.

    I'd say that love would certainly make it easier if you're thinking about, say, existentialism. Anything else that can deal with human emotion, existence, and life would have more doors opened when you're actually experiencing all of that stuff.

    ah! finally a question of yours i can answer because i understand it lol i've been wanting to answer one of your questions; with your being *the* top contributor and whatnot!

    i really think it can go either way. And how love affects one's thoughts. i will be talking about love at the significant other level. For me, because of my personal issues, when i'm in love, i am truly euphoric, and i feel my philosophical thoughts are nonexistent. But that's me, personally.

    Without love, i feel i have no "distractions." As a result, my mind can truly wander, in both good and bad places. It allows me to truly think...deeply...about everything.

    i thought i'd be offering a novel lol, but i suppose for me, it's harder with love; but again, i'm talking on the significant other level. ...Barring that level, "love" doesn't really get in the way of my philisophical thought, as i obviously view a friend's love on a different level.

    mm.. love. is a warm feeling. a heart ache. ur mind is soft. and love is just a feeling. actually it is a idea. =P no smell. no sight.

    thats why nouns should CHANGE! >.> people place thing idea and animes. animals are not classified as humans. and ideas are mental and NOT idea >.> ppl are so clueless and confusing things.

    love.. it depends okay?
