You are welcome to post your opinion.My opinion is that there is no such thing... the most perfect explanation. Its just an illusion, an hallucination that our minds invent so un-questionable that it is to me questionable. People "need love" as to not being alone. It over powers our brain then on everything we live for revolves around it. With out it the world would be so much different... no more deceitful actions cheating ect. But we'd all be alone and that fact would scare us all to death. Thats why our brain will conceive us and let us live in utter bliss, let us live a lie. "I live for love, and love to live" as a famous dead guy ones stated.Many of you will be wondering "well the brain invented other emotions thus love is an emotion" Thus it is not. It is but an idea. I could say love does'nt exist and live a normal life. But there are'nt evidence (as in not a feeling or crying... something that does'nt explain its self through us) for other emotions neither which could be just another illusion. "Emotions" are what make us who we are but who's to say if there not real we are? Some of you will think Im crazy (evil laugh :D ...sorry) but you cant say that for 1 minute that you have'nt questioned it your self. Are we really are, are we just in our own virtual reality?Just sommet that I thinks funny- Live is evil backwards! Thats just creepy. Maybe evil people live longer eh who no's.Thanks for reading.

reader, anonymous, writes (28 January 2009): Hey there, When I read your post the first time, I almost heard myself years ago, it brought tears to my eyes to know that someone is hurting, maybe not in the same way but she feels just as alone and empty inside as what I did, like you can stand on the busiest road and scream until you are blue in your face, but no one is listening, you can cry a thousand tears and no one will even notice I could hear the hurt in that post and that’s why I mailed you, our pain cannot be compared, as we all experience it differently, my parents loved me you are right, but they died, and what can I do about that nothing, your parents don’t treat you right or show you love and you cant do anything about that, but what you can do something about is your heart, how you feel inside, you know that song by Christina A beautiful, listen to it, don’t let them kill you, make yourself stronger emotionally, when they hurt you, you have to remember that this is not your fault, its not because of you that they do this its because they are not good parents, as you say every action has a reaction, their actions against you could have a negative or positive reaction, and the power to change that lies within you!!!! No one can take you that away from you, you can choose to become just another abused girl, or a girl who was abused, but turned her situation around for herself, you are the only one who can do that, I know so many people will say seek help, but they don’t know how disappointing that is on its own, do you go to the cops, and your parents get arrested, you will end up in a place of safety or a children’s home where more abuse will follow, so I wont advise you to that but I can advise you to emotionally start fixing yourself otherwise this will kill you, it will kill your chances of loving a child one day as much as you needed to be loved, do you know how strong you are? Not many people survive this, there is a handful of girls who have life this tough before they reach puberty and just the fact that you are here talking to me, makes you a strong person, you survived the most cruelty life can through at YOU (remember I said pain cant be compared), and you survived, they cant break you you are stronger than that, you will turn this around, I can see that you don’t like pity either, you don’t like people saying ah shame, and that also proves my point that you are strong, very very strong, your life will not always be this way if you start now and work towards the future you want you will get it, study your ass off, try and get a scholarship for a university and get yourself a good job that pays enough money so you can get away from this life, focus on that, when you get smacked don’t cry wipe your tears away and tell yourself that soon you will get yourself out of this and turn that negative energy towards your studies and turn it into something positive, for yourself! My take on life is Roads, millions of them, al with different outcomes, you walk up one road, and that one splits into a million other roads, but every choice takes you on a different road and every road will give you a million other roads to chose from, yes we do get steered into a certain direction but in this game we have the control in our hands, its like playing a game you are right, with different players, there is a creator who created that game, he gave the player a few options of where to walk to what to do what gun to use, he doesn’t force the player to go in only one direction he gives us different strategies and ways to get to where we suppose to be and if you as the player cant figure that out you will die or just never get to where you are suppose to be, YOU are still in control !!!! Don’t question love because the few people in your life did not know how to love you, make sure that you can show the people that will enter your life how to love and how much love you have to give, the love in their heart has turned cold, but yours can still be saved its up to you, life is so cruel everyday millions of kids suffer, they question their existence, they hate God for putting them here, and only a few of those kids will live to tell the tale, and even less would be able to say even though life treated me like shit here I am no one can touch me, they tried to kill me but I survived. You my dear are gona be one of those people, I can tell you that, you will survive and turn your life into the life you deserve. Love is a puzzle just like life, you find those missing peaces and angel you have a beautiful picture, your parents never gave you those pieces so take it upon yourself to find those pieces, and your puzzle will be complete and you will be the proud owner of that beautiful picture it will be all yours, no one can tell you what to do with it, the choice is yours. And who is DC? Your BF? Tell me about him, you sound fond of him, if you care about anything or anyone you are not empty or dead inside, coz to care for a person is in a way loving them, not like relationship love, but love, and that can not grow in a empty dead heart, proof again that you are stronger than what you tell yourself, look in the mirror and see that girl staring back at you, she is strong, and she will have the life she wants even though it hurts sometimes, she will get through this even though she feels like giving up and giving in, your bruises on the outside will heal, but you need to heal yourself on the inside, I also wont say anything about God, you have your right to be pissed at him for allowing this to happen to you, swear at him if you should, he will understand that you hurting, but you will get it out, you can mail me anytime you feel the need to get something out, doesn’t matter what it is, sometimes just telling one person who cares what you are feeling can help you, it makes that load lighter, you don’t have to go through all that on your own, remember that.If they say you will never make it, work hard to prove them wrong and make itIf they say you wont get anywhere, make sure you get even furtherIf they break you down, hurt you and call you bad names, work within yourself and better yourself coz you have the power to do that only you,

I am lonley. I am depressed. To be totally honest with you, Im dead inside and my heart is cold.
Im alone. Thats the way It'l always be and Ive come to face that.
Your parents died loving you!!! I'd do anything for that! My parents despise me and have shown that in many ways. Most of the time ending up with me in hospital. Because I "fell". Ones again, alone.
Do you belive in fate?
Im not entirely sure but this is my idea.... and yes its depressing but thats who I am. No one sees this side of me apart from dc.
My idea is that we'r all inside some kind of "video game". Virtual life for example. We'r all our own character living every day in our own lives. But we'r being controlled by someone. Someones playing the game. More powerful than us.... "fate".
It chooses what we do where we go, but to every action there is an alternative reaction. That corresponds with people around us. Setting of a chain of emotions.
How can I question "love" well... how can you not?
Its a "puzzle" one that has to be solved. Even if the answers not what we wanted. Thats why I search for answers.... to solve the mysterious riddles that "life" present's us with.

reader, anonymous, writes (27 January 2009): What is it that hurt you so much that you have so much anger inside of you, about love about why we here and about God???? What happened in your life that made you think there is nothing good. Tell me can you see the wind nope but if you allow yourself to stand outside your brick house you will feel it, you build walls to keep out what hurt you so badly and therefore you wont feel it, don’t always believe in what you can see angel, believe in what you feel but make sure that you have opened up and your are ready to feel things, life hurts love hurts, we all cry our share of tears, I lost both my parents 9 days before my 12 birthday, I was sent to an orphanage was raped twice, and had to abort an unborn baby, I have had my share of pain, but as long as I gave those problems power over me I was a lost case, I use to hide out in my room scared of the world scared of people who pretended to love me jus tto hurt me, the night my parents had the car accident I said a prayer before I went to bed, I asked God to protect them and then said let your will be done, I hated Him for years for allowing his will to be done, coz his will left me with nothing, BUT this tragic even along with everything else has opened me up to the world I am a much stronger woman now than what I would’ve been if I never went through all those things. I walked away stronger, I know more about life and people, you must take what ever hurt you like this and sue it to your advantage I wont preach its not me, you have a choice, grow up to be depressed old and lonely or change today, for a young girl to speak that way about things, angel you have a great mind. Try and let go of this anger, speak tp people who understands.

 God, this is one of the most depressing opinions I've heard since I was taught we were all a cosmic accident! How can you question love? Not that your theory doesnt have merit, but I just find it absurd that something as outrageously wonderful as love can simply be dismissed as an illusion!
Love is the attraction that brings us humans together in the first place: to reproduce, yes, but if that feeling is allowed to develope, then it becomes something so much more wonderful than an urge. It brings "inner peace," happiness: a tranquility that nothing else on this earth can compare to. This bond between you and another creates confidence between you both: you can vent your troubles without fear of them being misinterperated, or repeated.
Besides, even if your view is true, wouldnt you rather live your life in bliss than you would thinking that the feelings you get for something aren't real at all?
I'd love to continue this debate, actually. Mail me your views if you're interested :)

 oh, and getting away from the whole is life meaningless part and back to the is love real, I think love is real. I have always thought that it was real but not necessarily something that everyone is lucky enough to find. I think that since it's such a hard feeling to understand and describe that a lot of people tend to either wait till the have some sort of feeling of attachment or attraction or anything they mistakenly view as what love is and don't realize that what they are feeling are emotions which parallel love and can mimic it at times but isn't actually love. I know I've thought i was in love before only to find out that it was caused more by my emotionally weak state at the time where i needed the support and molded those feelings to fit what i thought i was feeling. I now happen to be in love and can honestly say it's so different from anything else that there isn't a way to tell someone about it until you actually experience it. It combines friendship, lust, attraction, feelings of attachment and many other things but there is a unique feeling that surrounds it all that cannot be described and has to be felt. I've felt so much in love with her in fact that i just asked her to marry me yesterday morning and was lucky enough to have her say yes =) so yes i definitely think that love exists i just think that a lot of people find it so hard to understand or think they they have to have it that they try to make other feelings associated with it into the whole of it.

Since you asked, no I am not a believer in god. I have very religious parts of my family and I understand the whole belief in a greater being and the comfort in knowing that there is something we are working towards all of our lives and the protection of a divine being that loves you but I've really needed the moral guidance or comfort. I tend to live my life more for the moment. I would prefer to live every day just trying to find things to make me happy and enjoy the people around me than worry about sins and pseudo morals. I tend to be more along the lines of if it brings you closer to the people you love and it doesn't harm anyone else then it isn't wrong.
I also tend to get very fed up with the current state of certain religions as at times they feel like they are trying to force their views down your throat (not that by any means all members of a religion are like that). I also happen to have spent a little time studying ancient mythology and religion in high school/college so i tend to be a little dubious about modern religion since most of them stem from some even more ancient beliefs that afterward they deemed as false religions. For example there is not a single original thought in the Bible (not meaning any offense to christians), but the entire bible even down to things like the crucifiction and resurrection are all stories that have there roots in things like Norse mythology and other even older religions.
the closest thing to my religious beliefs would probably be agnostic. I don't necessarily believe in a god or divine being but I know that I don't know everything there is to know and therefor cannot simply tell you that a god or higher plane of existence or afterlife is not possible. I kind of prefer the idea that it is your beliefs which shape how the divine interacts with you. I don't think people should jsut run around causing chaos and strife and harming others and themselves but I don't think that the rules that governed more primitive and less knowledgeable cultures should still apply to modern politics and laws. As an example of that I think that the laws banning the sale of alcohol on Sundays in the south are completely ludicrous as our government should ideally be based on rules that make peoples lives easier not cater to the current major religion however I do understand that the majority of the country tends to be christian and therefor accepts and even appreciates those laws and they are the ones that have the major say in who creates their laws as they have the majority vote. That's one of the prices of a democracy. Everything won't always be fair to people form all walks of life but on major points it will try to be.
Overall I think life is what you make of it. Our true purpose at this time is to follow your morals and ideals and hopefully find a way to be happy. I live my life not based on earning my way into heaven but rather to enjoy the time I have and be happy and surrounded with people I love. I don't care if I ever become rich or have a once in a life time job as long as I have friends, family and the woman i love with me. It's a much less stressful way to live in my opinion.
Hopefully what I just said helped you understand my views on what I was saying before. Sorry for the length of the post =) but you have managed to find a topic that i would talk for days about with people who are willing to listening objectively.

I kinda get where your coming from. I dont no if your a believer of god however if so, he(or she) would be playing this higher power true? But god gave us all free will so technically we would be serving our own purpose of being which would be meaningless. Is that what you mean?
vamp-gal: I dont agree neither but theories are just theories I guess. Just someone elsses brain giving out brainless ideas. =)

 Heyy,I asked my Philosophy teacher, she says that there have been a lot of scientific theorys on this.One of them is that apparently, love only lasts for 7 years, that's enough time to meet, for a woman to get pregnant and have the baby, and for the child to have a father.I do not (neither does she) agree with this, it's just one of the theorys.

=) well since you like to ask questions i've got one for you.Does it matter if you exist? If the people and feelings surrounding you are only delusions there created by your mind or some other outside influence that you are and internal part of does it make the relationships and emotions less meaningful? I mean at this point in our society the individual person is all but meaningless anyway. only a select few actually control and guide the power of the current age and eventually that will all be washed away into what we perceive as the universe so that even those people who seems important and powerful will be just as meaningless as the most meager hobo.Honestly there is more purpose to human life it it isn't real. If we are part of some false reality or dream of a greater consciousness then we have a part to play and a purpose within an existing story or program. If we are reality then our only real purpose is to procreate and spread our species to ensure its survival so that we can continue to worry about whether we mean anything which is in and of itself meaningless.at least that's my 2 cents based on the state of mind im in right now. =)

Heyy,
I hadn't actually thought about this before, but it is a reasonable theory.
I don't think you can create feelings for someone though. Your mind, hormones and heart are all completly different things.
Your mind might trick you into thinking your in love with someone, because you think they're a really nice person, or you have a lot in common, but doesn't mean you're in love.
Your hormones may trick you into thinking you're in love, most likely, more, in teenagers. They sleep with their boyfriends because they think they're in love, and that they love them back, but if they get pregnant, what's going to happen then? A lot of guys do stick around, but an equal amout of them don't, and what happens if you realize you don't want to be with them? (It's happeneing a lot now, I think, I've been hearing it a LOT).
You're heart is the one thing that won't trick you. When you love someone, (something which I haven't experienced), it should be great, and you feel like you want to spend the rest of your life with that person, and you are ready to make a commitment with them.
It's a fair theory though. A lot of what happens to us, is all in our head, we can create a sad emotion if needed, we can put on a realistic happy face if needed, but I think love is on a different level.
Also, about the statement, if you need love. With that, I think that you can live as long as you want without love, until that person you do love comes into your life. It may take years (obviously), but eventually, I'm sure, they do.
Lol, yeah, I read that somewhere too. The first thought I had were, evil people have more to do in life, because they're plotting to make everyone elses bad...it freaked me out!!!
Awesome artical, I want to read up on it..I wonder if there are any websites about it..
Hm, I'm asking my Philosophy teacher about that one, lol :D
