Love...Again...

A journal excerpt from 1 year ago:
"How many people have asked about what love is? I myself ask often, because the concept has never truly affected me, but once. And even with that single experience, it is but an emotion, in more of a complexity, nothing more. A sugar is the simple form of a starch, as an emotions are the simple form of love. Love isn't an emotion, but a combination of all emotions, and it comes in more forms than any of the emotions could. But, even with that knowledge, there's still so much about love that's impossible to understand. Perhaps love doesn't exist, but its just a sheet thrown over the darkness to cover up what isn't good. Its a made up emotion that, though it doesn't really exist, it can make us feel better. Therefore, as good things and feelings come back, we refer to it as "love" because imaginary love represented goodness in the bad times. So, eventually, through generations, love becomes an actual emotion, or complex emotion, but not of its own. all it really is is the other good emotions we have, given a label and made into one thing. And so, people use "love"to their advantage, using it an excuse for stupid idiotic things we do. As as it evolves, we evolve with it, and it becomes something sacred. If it were an object, we would likely worship it on an alter. But, being merely an artificially invented complex emotion, we hold it sacred. No one would ever rip it apart as I'm doing, because it represents that which is good, that which assists in our day to day life when we have problems we can't handle on our own. It is but the golden idol, a religious aspect of sorts, put there to make us feel better about our often seemingly aimless existence. As scholars look at religion and worship, we make up an object to worship, because the idea that we are all alone, on our owns scares us so much. I myself believe in a God, but I do not believe in love, for in this case, I am on the scholars side. "Love" is but a pointless illusion to make us be able to deal with that which we believe we couldn't on our own."
