We were made from Love to give and receive Love?

The Greeks have six or seven words to represent different forms of love and English has but one. The type of brotherly love, love for all mankind and its welfare, known as "agape" is the reason all things come into being and the purpose for living, to ensure a good life for everyone.

Our closest relatives, the Bonobos, are perfect role models for peace and Love.

we ARE love. I don't believe it to be purpose, just reality. the separateness is not a mistake. things can only be one if they are more than one. our separateness makes us one and also makes us separate. not either-or, but both-and, and i think it is good the way it is. it allows truth to experience truth. existence is not a static unchanging thing, hence it is inevitable that it should be this way. if it were not for this separateness, nothing could ever be. "In love all else exists and thrives." absolutely. when one's resistance is finally broken and they come to finally surrender to the embrace of unconditional love, one finds that it has no opposite, that it is utterly entire, inescapable, that it is the whole. they also find that their inner fight was caused by its own ignorance, that it was fighting an unbeatable opponent, itself. the only way to resolve the inner conflict is to surrender to yourself. let yourself be defeated by yourself. let yourself die. feel yourself slipping away. become totally submissive. because so long as you continue trying to defeat IT, you will find yourself inwardly divided, pitted against that inevitability.. for how long?

The word love has been turned into some abstract ideal. The origin of the word love is from the Old English Lufu which derives from Sanskrit word Lubh (meaning to desire greatly, long for). Few words---with the exception of enlightenment, faith, God, truth, selflessness and normal---have been so mutated and loaded by the evolution of society and culture (the traditions of the psyche).

All of these loaded words have one thing in common: they are escapes from how humanity actually thinks, acts and behaves.

Originally, love meant desire: physical attraction, an entirely physical process. The psyche has taken such trifling physical desires and created huge internal desire narratives (networks of associated thoughts). All these psychological desires are motivated by these fleeting physical pleasures. Fear of loss of desire leads to wanting, deficiency, grasping, neediness. This duality (desiring and fearing loss) is what consciousness wants to escape, so it creates abstract ideals: perfection, love, selflessness, humanity and sharing is caring.

Really, people go about sharing and giving charity with the notion that what comes around goes around: sharing is all about the self.

It amuses me when people pay for charity pop-songs, believing that the pop-star is being self-less; rather, for a pop-star, all publicity is personal promotion i.e., self in the news = greater record sales.

The psyche has wants, and when it succeeds getting it's wants, becomes fearful of losing what it has got. When a couple have children, their inner desire for partnership (which has been fulfilled) has to transfer to another subject/object. Instead of wanting a partner, the parents divert their wanting onto their offspring i.e., "we only want whats best for them" etc. So the psyche never stops wanting. rather, the psyche only switches one want for another.

Parents say they love their children more than anything else. What they mean is that they are dependent upon their children for the gratification of their own wants. Parents see their children as an extension of their self: parents think they own their children.

Similarly, employers think they own their employees and tell themselves that their own business decisions are for the benefit of all the employees; also, prime-ministers, presidents and kings believe their own desires are important for the welfare of their subjects (citizens). In reality, they are all acting out of self-concern, and self-concern is always tied into the activities of one's neighbours.

In society, we have demonized the mundane reality and deified the fantasy ideals. The psyche is always trying to dress a pig to make a princess, so: wanting and desire-fulness are transformed into ''pure love''; fearfulness, doubt and insecurity becomes faith and hope; personal suffering and burden become 'future enlightenment' (never now); convenient coherent narrative becomes truth; and regression away from interpersonal variation becomes the mythical 'normal'.

The idea of love is not the physical experience: the neural encoding of things is a representation, not the actual thing. We have come to worship the menu and avoid the food; we explore to update the map rather than to enjoy the world.

yes people are so much selfish.. that is the wrong with them.. In movie i watch like they are all squirrel.it is 2014 cartoonic movie. the truth is life is for the sharing..

I don't like the word love. It means too many things to too many people. Some people think that it is loving to spank little children. I think its abusive.

We made ourselves from source energy - that we still are in part. We are one being. To treat others as we want to be treated is the only thing that makes sense or that leads us to the most fulfilled life that there is. (Unless one is a masochist, that is)

I know my parents were really in love with each other and each of their children and each grandchild and each great grand child!!! Love makes the world go round!!! No real gods or devils exist anywhere outside of any ones inculcated minds!!! If they did then we would never have to do any manual labor, we would have the gods invent every thing in their imaginations to keep us from expending any more energy than we have to!!! SO TRUE!!!

There is a saying..The whole design of living in the domestic state and laying up (property) is (to be able) to exercise the benevolence of hospitality..
