Is love natural? If so, I then ask you this, Is love more natural than sex?
We are humans all driven by the desire to mate and procreate. So why do we stress over the fear of being single for the rest of our lives or living with out a partner who will provide this affection that we don't quite understand?
Yes, what distinguishes us from animals is that our ability to think is far more advanced than any other species on the planet.
So does that explain why we feel the need to have someone reciprocate a similar nurturing affection that we are supposed to receive from our parents?
No.
Love. Our oldest phenomenon. It can never be explained because it didn't start as natural. It is an advanced form of social construction transcribed into our DNA that allows us to conjure these emotions that we can not explain.
Over time, we have begun to try and make love more natural than sex. Hence, sex has become taboo in many advanced cultures because of the consequences that seemingly follow. That is why many conservatives believe that sex before marriage is unethical and generates promiscuity. When promiscuity is more likely the reason for our existence.
I am not agreeing that promiscuity should be acceptable because I do not practice it myself.
However, it should not be condemned the way it is.
Over time, humans have tried to coalesce love and sex but it only leaves us confused. And that is when lust comes in. Do I love this person or lust this person? Do I think about this person everyday because I love their personality and I love their soul or am I thinking about this person everyday because their personality makes me want to have sex with them.
Now they say you know you love someone unconditionally when you do things for the person that you would not normally do for anyone else.
Well I disagree. You're doing these things because you think you love this person but you're just infatuated. Unconditional love can only be found within the bond between mother-child, father child bonds or within any other kinship.
Intermingling with other clans is risky because you never know what to expect. Sometimes we have happy endings and most of the time we do not. In the new world relationships are not lasting longer than a week or even a day.
Most marriages fail because of financial greed and the stress that comes with raising children.
But think about it, is it possible to stare at a person and be genuinely satisfied for the rest of your life without wanting to strangle the #$@% out of them?
You get the point.
Every individual was uniquely created and brought into this world alone (not of course if you were a twin, but I digress). So why stress over the most unnatural things. Just live your life in your fruition.
