An Understanding of Love
Ilexa Yardley 01 March 2010
Love is an idealistic notion to, and from, which we all aspire. That is, we all want to be in love.
What is love? Where did it come from? Is it real?
Love is a basic scientific entity. We can deduce this logically if we are careful in thought. (We have to keep emotion out of it.)
To have love we need two. Some will (must) say this is not true. We can have love as one. In fact, some are forced to say, or see, love is one.
However, scientifically, and mathematically, one cannot have one without two. Many will stop reading right here.
But this is easy. One and two go together. They are bound by love. Love is between any two entities even though it may not be apparent or present or active. Love between, and within, an entity (or entities), is similar to, or, scientifically, exactly the same as, gravity.
That is, gravity holds things together as it keeps them apart. Love works similarly.
Love is the glue that keeps everything together, at least in some systems.
Love is a word. It is an idea, a concept, for some, a dream, for others, reality.
It is impossible to touch love, although it is possible, and probable, to feel it. But we can all say we feel love without being able to touch it, and this is problematic for scientists. It is also problematic for many humans. For then we must go to the place, or answer the question, what is feeling?
We are all driven by feeling, even though we may not be able to logically, or accurately, articulate it. We use words to attempt to describe feeling, love being only one of these. But love as a feeling (and as a thought) is a core concept for reality for humans.
We find it in literature, art, music. We love love, we love the idea and the experience of love, and we try to attain love, or be love, or receive love or give love. Love is central to existence. Or at least that is what we are taught, that is what we believe, at least some of us, and that is what we seek, again, at least some of us.
So the experience of love, and the assumption about love, is important even if it is unrealistic (in some systems).
Love can be tangible. We can say we know it when it is with us. But this is also intangible, and, at best, fleeting.
So half of us, eventually give up on love, even as we say, or believe, or feel, or think, we can, and, or, we will, never, give up on love.
Love is eternal. At least that’s what they (we) say. In science, as gravity, love is circle.
Some must say, then, sometimes there is hate. Hate, as a progression, or expression, or extension, or reference of (as) love, is, then the most extreme (profound) experience of love. We cannot have love without hate because this is (these are) a basic circle. So circle is love even as circle is hate.
Between any two any-things there is circle, and this is the basis for, and, realistically is, love. We can call it gravity and this would be an accurate description of both gravity and love. But love is still love (circle).
Well, love, all of this is important to ponder.
We must begin to substitute (integrate) one word, idea, or symbol as (is) an alternate expression (articulation) for another.
This is the most productive understanding of love.
