Alright, I've been told numerous times that love is indescribable. In a worldly sense, I believe love is a false ideology, mainly because of all these nymphomaniacs, rapists, etc. I may seem pessimistic, but that is what I believe. The world is so corrupted and plagued by such primitive beings who indulge in sex and such. Those who marry for money and a great sex life, not for companionship or devoted trust to ones spouse. From a pyschological perspective, these traits defines males and females, as well as from my point of view. Males: Possesive, arrogant and chauvanistic, and at times deceptive. Females: Majority of the time deceptive; greedy. Love is but a simple fragment in this world. It holds no true value, because people fail to recognize it and act on it. They just care about themselves. Their own indulgences. I'm asexual because of these very same reasons and more. Relationships, sex, and marriage ALWAYS lead to problems, and the majority of the time, divorce ensues or maybe even death. I deny my primitive "instincts" and think out of the box instead of the "normal" individual. Why bother when one can avoid these unecessary anamolies? Lust is usually dominant. Love is underminded, thrown out. It usually about sex. I have plenty of other reasons why I do not like either gender as well. Males: AIDS, STDS, immoral, societal rejection. Females: deception, STDS. I supress my hormones. I reject their lustful manipulation. And I'm not insinuating that love does not exist, only that it's presence is but a fragment in the world, and in the hearts of humanity. This is my theory. Opinions?
Actually, despite my nihilism, Odin worship, and other assorted things....
I actually do believe in love. I believe in a human love where you meet somebody you love and you just fit well together and you are able to accomplish anything together. The thing is that you try to "fall in love" or try to love somebody then you are just setting yourself up for hardship and turmoil.
It doesn't work that way. This is how it works, you spend enough time with someone, doing things together with them, getting to know them, and enduring a lot of things together when you wake up one day and say "Damn, I actually do love this girl." You can't buy it, you can't take it, you can't force it, and you can't look for it. It finds you. You can't sit idly by either, you have to experience the world. Given that our time here is so finite, you are tasked with living as much as you can. Doing what is best for you at the time and looking forward in life. You never know how much time you have on this planet and you can't take tomorrow for granted. So all you can do is be yourself, do the best that you can in life, always try to improve yourself at every opportunity, and make sure you know what you are doing. If you don't know what you are doing, then learn. Most divorces are between people who rushed themselves or didn't really get along, but thought they did. Most male/female problems are caused because they look at each other as male and female, not as a person with an individual soul and mind.
Just relax, take your time, enjoy the sky, the trees, and the song of the birds. Read a book, fly a kite, ride a bike, or go hiking. Never lie to yourself, be realistic about all things, and enjoy what you have. And one day, in the normal course of life, after you have experienced the world enough, it will find you. And when it does, you won't have to do anything, but go with it. There will be no effort required, no work, it won't be a chore. It won't cost you any money, time, or frustration. In fact, it'll happen so fast and so powerfully that you won't even remember life before it.
Humans are animals, but not merely. So love does exist. Even animals are capable of love.
So just live your life, take every advantage and opportunity. It will happen, maybe not soon, maybe not later, but it will happen sometime. When it does, just go with it.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is probably the most positive and optimistic you will ever see me.

god, youre the hotaru guy again arent you? so many of your posts conflict with each other. dont be such a hypocryte and pick a stance already! or type in a different style or way or something and keep your anonymity! cuz it is REALLY easy to pick you out (so many of ur posts, include, ur belief of valhalla, you saying nihilism at least one, or hotaru this hotaru that) frankly, im sorry, but its a bit annoying

i believe the term is succubus. sadly, much of this is true, but i WOULD like to believe, if you get past all that stuff, and focus on the transcendent part of this so called thing called "love", then, mebbe its not that bad? then again this is just IMO
Heh. Even couples who have been together for many a year eventually break up due to some "cirumstance", so I do not think it is as simple as you may imply it to be, which is most unfortunate. Human beings are too primitive to realize their corruption, and love is the same. They indulge in it, they do not care for one another. It's usually a "sex" relationship, not an actual emotional placement. Besides, marriage/relationships spawn various problems, especially if you have someone who is irrational or deceptive, or even lustful. Love is just a deceptive tool used to weave ones web around another unsuspecting individual. That's my philosophy, and I will stay true to it until true evidence of "true" love is this forsaken world is provided.
Err..I am not this person you supposedly accuse me of. I am only a human being imposing my opinions and wishing for feedback.

sage for Objectivist serial troll. Thanks for killing the thread.
I will have you know that I happen to be a very complex and complicated person. I stand by everything I say. Like the bible where the Old Testament and the New Testament are different or something.
Anyways
Not everybody is corrupt and out to get something. You are thinking about some things too much and others not enough. I strongly suggest that you take a minute and think:
"Is everybody and asshole or am is it just me?" Whichever you decide, you are right. The best cure for this is to hang around different people or spend more time trying to better yourself. Be it physically, mentally, or spiritually.
I am really down on the world. I am extremely prejudiced, biased, and antisocial. But, even if you are like that, you shouldn't let that stop you.
Everybody in the world is an asshole, but some people are more asshole than others. And yet other people less so. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you should be whoever you are and try to realize that sometimes you cannot analyze a flower, you just have to enjoy its mere existence. There really are no answers to your questions. You can either think everyone is corrupt, and they probably are, or you can just say screw it and do whatever and just go with it.

He is irritated by me and his ass is probably chapped because I am very vocal of my beliefs. In fact, I would probably think that 3, yes YOU 3, is an asshole. A sorry, hemorrhoid asshole. But he's not, he's just being himself and expressing a belief that does not coincide with mine. But the thing is, is that he took a step up and tried to help you, the OP. You see, no matter how racist, prejudiced, biased, antisocial, and misanthropic you are...you have to realize that there are other people in this world who can lead you on exciting adventures and fulfilling escapades. Sometimes you have to keep your beliefs, but let them sit idly by for a while in order to do some living.
Like I said, people probably are corrupt and are assholes, but a lot of people probably aren't and you just have to give some people a chance, but don't put yourself out there too much. In fact, I hate to say it, but sometimes no matter how bad you feel or how messed up you think things are you just have to put a smile on your face and wear it the rest of the day. Try it, it works. In fact, you might even inspire other people. Sometimes you just gotta dance or sing.
In fact....I hate to say it, but actually the world isn't so bad. There's TV, nachos, CDs, dogs, monster cars, and the occasional girl who isn't a complete bitch. Don't be so serious, blunt all your edges, take each day as a new opportunity to try out a new thing.
Just don't do anything creepy or stalkery, OK?
But I was trying to help.
You know if more people listened to me, then they would prosper.
I mean...look, I'm not going to sit here and say "zoMG You gots her number lol dies !!!one1on!" or "Yeah dude you need to totally spend a hundred dollars on her"
No...I'm just being in your face and real and you have to deal with it. I didn't kill this thread, in fact, I actually believe this thread could be legendary. I think this could be the best damn thread on this board.
I think we can restore some of Ulrich's faith in humanity. I mean...look...I'm a pretty negative fellow...what with all of my beliefs. But you know, dammit, there's more to it than that.
Things aren't so bad.
I completely understand what you are talking about, but I do refer to the majority. I just believe what I see and know. Humanity is corrupt, and shall always remain that way. =\
I've told various people that I will never get married, have a relationship or have sex do to that risks and problems that come with them. It will always stay this way. I do not need a "companion". I need no one. I consider those who think they need someone in their life is just weak. Weak of heart, and gullible at that. It may seem like a streak of paranoia, but I will not be inflicted with STDS, or deceptive assaults.
Wow man....
Well are YOU corrupt? Remember among a sea of soulless faces lurk a few individuals.
And it isn't a matter of NEEDING anyone, but wanting and enjoying.
And don't listen to what other people tell you. You can do anything you want to.
You could probably live your whole life and die alone. If you wanted to. I don't think too many people want that, but if so, have at it. But if you wanted a relationship, a girlfriend, or whatever then you could easily get it. Just remember to avoid assholes, don't show your hand before it's played, and always remember Let your conscience be your guide.
Go at your own pace, because life isn't a race. It is a nice ride through the country.
Every being is inherently corrupt, but not deliberately. I am not deliberately corrupt. I also don't listen to people. I am my own philosophical being, and theorize on what I see, not from what I hear. To be alone, is to be strong. To supposedly have someone will allow weakness. I do not mind being alone. The only comfort I need are my friends and family, not some deceptive being to drag me down into the dark abyssal of despair and discontent. I may sound like a Goth, but I am not. I just reflect on these profound aspects of the world. Carl Gustav Jung, a psychologist and pupil of Sigmund Freud proposed that every being is comprised of feminine(anima) and masculine(animus) aspects. If a person is one aspect, then the other is split apart which is in another being. That is where "soul mates" come in. Seemingly logical, but also a bit absurd, I do not believe that every being is such a way.
shrug If you're happy with being alone, what more is there to say? I can't say with certainty that I'll always be this way, but I'm happy with being alone for now as well. I consider myself fortunate in that my parents truly love each other, and from the looks of things, the only 'circumstance' that will ever break them apart at any level will be when one of them dies. I've also seen relationships that were really just sex and convenience and that fell apart at the first sign of trouble. You might say I've seen the full spectrum of love and lust over the years, and I would say that hormone-crazed teenagers and the MTV culture that caters to them tend to skew the love vs. lust statistics by quite a bit, heh. But then, I tend to ignore that demographic for the most part anyway, as in my opinion they're not really all that important ;)
Heh. My parents do not even talk to each other anymore. We all live together, yet it's always my father's dad who always tears the marriage apart, that aside from his constant ignorance. Mine is just one re-enactment of what occuts in the typical household. Well, maybe not that violent.
Wow Ulrich....
I hope it works out, man. No you just have be who you are and make it happen.
