What is love?

Well, I successfully posted my first log for anthro class. Unfortunately, not without a formatting error in the title, of all places, flawed because I inserted a formatting guide from wiki...my bad. The formatting rule must not apply to titles.

As this adventure continues, I am still optimistic. I find this blog a great place to use my stream of consciousness techniques, after all I am an English major. Yet, I do want to enlist responses, so I suppose I should ask questions rather than practice my stream of consciousness technique and bridge topics other than relay drivel that fills the non synaptic recesses of my wandering mind.

O.K., virtual land, how do you feel about true love? For starters, how many takers will comment on what they think true love is? Now, this may sound out dated since Valentine's Day was last week, but why not? It is still February, after all. Philosophers have tussled with the definition of true love throughout the ages. Lets hear from those cyber-philosophers that read this. What is true love, in the highest sense? Are there any takers out there in cyber land that could comment with insight and passon? I will be grateful and enlightened, perhaps even edified by your responses. Please, let your insights role, but keep it clean and esthetically elevated.

Also, have we contemplated what true love is in virtual land? Can we share true, lasting, abiding and enduring love in the cyber realm? Is cyber "true love" even possible? If so, is it a deeper and truer than love found in the physical world? Is it counterfeit love? How do you define virtual, true love? Is virtual true love superior or inferior, preferred or abhorred? Please, remember that we are talking true love, not cyber sex. Again, keep your comments elevated. Comments please.

  1. solid question. i'd say true love is caring about someone as much as you care about yourself.

  3. sorry i had a typo before...

    i meant to say

    kwamicide - maybe not the most romantic way of describing true love....but there's got to be some truth to that.

  4. Thanks for your input. I would say that if you indeed cared for another as much as yourself you are on the right track...but I'll bet that true love is caring for someone even more than yourself...just a thought. Please keep those ideas rolling and thanks for talking! Linda
