Love probably develops over the years and is something you see when you're 40 50 60 70 80 and you're still holding hands, and still best friends.......I've seen it with some of the older folks. Attraction, obsession, infatuation, lust, connection, friendship, I bet those things are a swirling mess of energy that if in a good relationship, settles into a warm glow that you two share between each other. A safeness and a genuine content and happy feeling, able to access the intense parts like attraction and lust, and the softer parts of connection and friendship......sumtin like that.....

So much nicer than loneliness

I'd much rather be positive and believe in love
Than be a cynical closed off grump
Who never took any risks
And never won any
Prizes
cause
he was gutless and fearful
from before

I'm thinking one of these days I'll get horny and decide to enter into a relationship with a random girl who looks reasonably OK, that seems to be what most people do after all.

Why do you have the need to trust anyone? Why trust anyone at all really? What does a person achieve by doing this?

The more you keep believing in fairy tales of your youth and childhood imaginations, the more naive and vulnerable you will be. Stop living life as if you must feel some grandeur expectation of what some philosopher wrote a thousand years and start defining yourself.

Trust is kind on the heart muscles. Successful groups are highly social, and have trusting configurations which produce easier and more relaxing harmonious lives

I used to identify with blackbirds, but their lives are fraught with worry and overt alertness, because they forage as loners...., a sparrow within the centre of a flock can zone out and refresh spirits

Love brings security, and a more peaceful existence from security worries with two teamplayers with great trust in each other

I don't think I understand this notion of "defining yourself."

I no longer trust anyone, the world is a rather harsh place and as a result I have become a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikikomori .

Defining yourself is about letting go of attachments, expectations or preconceptions and simply living in the moment.

Do I believe in true love...I would really like to. Do I truly believe that it'll happen for me? As much as I dream about it or would like it, probably not.

True love? Yeah it's nonsense. A baser urge mistaken for something more by foolish people.

True love is a cheap hooker.

Oh well I guess there is always occasional friends with benefits and one night stands for temporary physical satisfaction that still leaves emptyness afterwords though. Here is the real world through my eyes![youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ2SbavmcmE[/youtube]
