Awr. Cute monkeys. You're such a nice guy, Johnny.
I always try to give in keeping with what I receive.
p.s. those are baboons.
I like your photos Johnny
I didn't give you anything; but receiving monkeys, baboons whatever, all cute like kittehs x x x
comig into some money soon with any luck so i'll order it off of amazon. Ta for the recommendation!
Good post mate, but i disagree about calling it an ideal.
It's not about bad people, and this is why hatred is unnecessary.
thanks. I should have said 'bad' people. There is no such thing as an intrinsically bad person.
I think it would probably be better to analyse love in terms of Philia, Eros and Agape as opposed to lumping them all together although at base they are all the same.
This ^^^. Without a better definition of what love we're talking about, this is a dead discussion. It also doesn't help that the phrase has been horrifyingly contaminated culturally by hippy idiots.
Do I have love for my fellow man? For sure. I don't have a lot of love for specific fellow men, but generally speaking I like humanity. Does this mean it's not universal? Perhaps it should be 'generalised non-hating of the rest of humanity'.
And FWIW, love and hate, when taken seriously, are the same thing. They both require lots of energy to maintain in specific situations. Being a generalised misanthropist is no different from beign a generalised happy clappy type, and generally it's any company that you're in who find your universal love/hate more wearing than anything else.
So universal love/universal hate - both so hugely diluted it's essentially meaningless as an idea.
Bah, he's completely wrong - as per usual - it's just "not too much of one thing and not too little of the other, i.e. get a 'good measure of things' and you'll be good" attitude...
Kind of Aristotelian, if my sense of it is still functioning...
But that maketh no radical, Man!!!!
And this forum needs it!
