Yeah, anyway...back on subject....
Originally posted by hyebruini see what you're trying to say, but that IS love right there! not needing, not despairing, not longing, not suffering, not depending, that IS the true definiton of love, for one can only love in the purest form when one is in balance with him/herself and can give freely and unconditionally and be at peace...
I think you may not be getting what I'm saying. I'm failing to see how not needing human interaction is the true definition of love? If I'm saying one can learn to go through life without needing interaction past daily needs (you know, aside from the cashier at the grocery store, co-workers, etc.), then where would love come into play? I think what you may be saying is that you cannot find "the one for you" if you are "looking" for her/him, because your mind will con you into thinking you love this person, or that person. That's all fine and dandy, and is also what I preach, because avoiding this outlook is what almost every relationship is based on, and is why they are all abusive on one level or another (I promise you, the majority of people that say they're in love are NOT, at least not in the true sense of the word). But MY point was, I think it is possible to get to a point even beyond that. A point where you will NEVER desire to be with someone, or fear being alone, etc. Finding nirvana in being by yourself, if you will (no corny jokes about the band).
By the way, Adam.
All right, you were bordering on cool before. Now you're just gay.

yeah 'glow that's what i was pretty much saying about reaching nirvana, inner peace, and not needing anything....but obviously i don't think any of us are that advanced spiritually to be able to say that..maybe somedayeven at that level, one is not 'detached' or 'cold' as some might perceive...rather, the only thing that exists is complete peace and being in tune with the universe; when a soul has reached that level he/she cannot help but emanate unconditional love and compassion

Hey, souls, you live in a frickin' human body that has needs and instincts. The most prevalent of all is the need to reproduce. It is the most basic impulse of any living creature. Mammals, and primates in particular, are very highly developed animals, and so require a huge amount of time, when compared to non-mammals, to develop into maturity. This means they need parental care more than any other animal. Because of this, evolution selected for the parents who stayed together until the kids at least reached adolescence. This is why you love each other.
If you want nirvana, surgically remove your hippocampus. The transmitters responsible for lust and love and just about every sex hormone will cease moving about in your body and you will have no more of these desires.
