    I think that means more, you accept the faults of those you love.

    Than you don't have to appologise when you get drunk and hit on her sister.

    Aww Lode you are so romantic. Although I think you would change your mind since I'm the uglier sister. ;) Well unless you don't like older women because she is in her 30's.

    Half the songs are actually written about Heroin. I've never fallen in love but want to. We can all choose to give love, and all want to be loved. Love is all there really is. :)

    I didn't say your comment was creepy. I said that I get a creepy vibe from you.

    This is my understanding.
    Well it was, until realising i don't understand love at all. Hence the questions.
    Even though as well as anyone can explain, its probarbly something i'll have to find out for myself.

    I like this answer the best.

    Love's something you'll think you've found a million times, but it won't be until you find it that you know.

    What is Love? : Use the Force

    It is my absolute belief that what we call “love” can exist between any two people. Existentialism is the study of human nature, and the conflicts that are here within. Socrates believed that all thought and activity should be directed toward enhancing of the meaning of human existence.

    If something exists in time and space, it is here for an absolute reason. How such an object is used is open to interpretation, so one may use said objects in a completely different or even opposite way than another and come to the very same conclusion. Every human thought is completely objective.

    Emotions are completely and utterly universal; humans are entirely capable communicating without the use of language. This is completely true as there was such a time when there were no languages at all. In this time absent of words, actions were all human beings had; and in the scheme of the universe, actions are but words.

    Existentialism is closely related to Phenonmenilism, as they reject systematic philosophy to undertake questions facing all of us; such as questions of choice, individuality, freedom, meaning, self-identity, authenticity, alienation, despair and mortality. These are questions such as “Who am I?” “What does my life mean?” “Why am I afraid?” and “What should I do to become the person I would like to be?” These are questions we are faced with everyday, usually without even realizing it. These are the questions that our subconscious is constantly looking for answers for. That is pure human nature and a summation of the origin of Existentialism.

    Jean-Paul Sartre said “By writing I was existing… I existed only in order to write.” As a lonely boy at the age of ten he “remained alone between an old man and two women.” He was “bowled over” with Henri Bergson’s ideas that through philosophy one could learn truth. Sartre studied with Edmund Hussel, one of the founders of Phenomenology which bases consciousness as the basis of reality.

    The Phenomenologist gives a descriptive analysis based on facts and concrete worldly existence. Experience is life’s best teacher. Martin Heidegger said “Consciousness and its objectivity”, “not the Being [essence] of beings…” Heidegger was mostly interested in Being and with the existence of the person as a way to understand the Being.

    Sartre disagreed with the notion of “being” and our human situation. For Heidegger our human nature is a moral issue: How do we face the knowledge that we are going to die? It is also my belief that once one overcomes the fear of death, life takes on a much more grand meaning. “Death makes life worth living; no man’s life is honored until his days are done.” -Michael Niehaus, myself.

    It’s probably an ordered universe

    Oh, how rueful it is to be the Last of a Dying Breed

    Sartre gave a classic example of Existentialism when he said “Existence precedes essence.” He was saying that life came before conscious thought. As Henry David Thoreau claimed “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”

    Sartre believed that there was no god; he thought that there was no divine reason for our existence. He said that one produces its own essence through our choices, and that these choices make us who we are. We hold the future in our own hands.

    The future’s uncertain, and the end is always near. -Jim Morrison, Roadhouse Blues

    I think, therefore I am.
    -Descartes


    There is no reality except in action.
    Jean-Paul Sartre

    Sartre also believed that “Man is nothing else than his plan; he exists only to the extent that he fulfills himself; he is therefore noting else than an ensemble of his acts.” Aristotle considered his metaphysical writings as “The First Philosophy”, which studies forces beyond our control. Aristotle’s First Philosophy is past the physical world of science, into the abstract realm of theory. This faces questions such as “What is it to be?” this takes us into the plane of the transcendental; a world beyond senses, a kind of spiritual universe.


    There is no matter without form and no form without matter.
    -Aristotle

    Einstein’s theory of relativity: E=MC^2, mathematics is the language of nature. Metaphysics is the field of philosophy dealing with the supreme nature of reality; a study of the nature and fundamental qualities of being. I believe that just by being aware of your own existence, you acknowledge the fact that it is entirely possible for you not to exist. This proves that there is a form of non-existence, which is existence in itself.

    I also believe that by simply announcing a question into the open cosmos, you have created an infinite number of answers. The answers to the questions are strictly personal and objective. One must ask themselves to learn the order of nature. Philosophy is the answer to questions never asked. Namaste.

    Have fun!!!
