Myths, Fallacies & the things inbetween

Great sex- is a myth. A great sex life is not. It's perception
determined, not measurable by any known standards. Why am I pointing
this out? Why not? It is the object of daily fantasy. Complete
strangers united by something so private, yet belongs to no one
person.

Love- is a fallacy. The word is an english misnomer. There are
different words for the 'general set of feelings' this word is
associated with. Most of these words are not of the english language.
The greeks did a good job, but when you explore other cultures, you
have to agree that love isn't the best word to describe the courage to
leap into fire for someone you 'adore'. I'm not saying I haven't been
burnt in the process, but really...

Success-is an inbetween. It depends on cultural references. The chap
who set off world war one by shooting Prince Franz Ferdinand & his
wife was considered a cowardly terrorist by the world in general.
Serbia not too recently honoured him as a national hero. Go figure.
Maybe as he was slain, he knew something the world didn't at the time.
Maybe he is a father of present Serbia. Anyway, he's considered a
success now. It is all perspective. But I'm also conviced that is not
democratically determined as well. Our individual selves cannot agree
on what the greatest success is for a man, woman or child. Selah

Equal Relationships- please. Someone must be slave, or selfish.
Altruistic motives are too cotton-candy to last long enough. That's
why I'm convinced in keeping up with the christian faith. You do unto
others as you should for the sake of God, because it is already
understood that His relationship with you is not equal, but you're not
loved any less.

I'm going to sleep now. If any more crop up in my head, it had better
have staying power, because I'm not going to roll over to write shit
down. Got work in the morning, and it 2:50 am already.

so what should we call the feeling formerly known as love?
