Love is when a person A acknowledges another person B’s unique existence, and on that basis,
1) attributes positive aesthetic appreciation to person B’s individual, unique existence,
2) has some form of personal relationality with person B and,
3) seeks, whenever possible, to empower the other person B to have the ability to become more of a person before God and him/herself in such a way that the empowered person B is NOT dysfunctionally reliant upon the empowering person A.
and…
4) seeks to, whenever possible, enhance the intensity of beautiful experience for person B.
Heh Meph, take a look at what your definition of love looks like when I replace person “A’ with "God" and replace person “B” with "you".
Mephed up love:
Love is when a person A God acknowledges another person B’s Meph’s unique existence, and on that basis,
1) attributes positive aesthetic appreciation to person B’s Meph’s individual, unique existence,
2) has some form of personal relationality with person B Meph and,
3) seeks, whenever possible, to empower the other person B Meph to have the ability to become more of a person before God and him/herself in such a way that the empowered person B Meph is NOT dysfunctionally reliant upon the empowering person A God.
and…
4) seeks to, whenever possible, enhance the intensity of beautiful experience for person B Meph.
Contradictions if well understood and managed can spark off the fires of invention. Orthodoxy whether of the right or of the left is the graveyard of creativity. Post Edited (sparknheart) : 12/10/2005 10:25:11 AM (GMT-6) | | Back to Top | | |
