love……

Filed under: Entries — arglor @ 12:13 am

I’m a severe romantic… i always have been… It is the one area in my life i have swore to never question… logic can do a lot of things.. destroy gods… debase moral theories… destroy works of art… create new languages…

I want to remain idealistic about life… the details? yeah destroy the details.. god, government, even the self…. these i can understand and i applaud… but destroying love is about the most self-defeating thing logic could possibly do… sure we can break love down chemically and evaluate our actions… you have so much of a heart rate when you look in her eyes… your body produces sweat when you see her come near… you like it when she whispers how much she loves you in your ear…. you can break that down even to specific feelings, like the sensitivity of the earlobe and how the wind in effect makes your ear feel stimulated….

But all that is bullshit… it is mechanical… and i’ll have no part of it.. i define consciousness as being conscious “of” and i define being conscious as nothing. this is pure Sarte. You can break existence down and define things…. but it is only after it is all said and done that you have to come up with a theory binding it all together… and however much i agree you can’t be certain about anything.. i also agree love is something i’m certain i enjoy the hell out of..

so the question is… can love be defined?
sure i’m positive it can, but do i want to define love? nope..
