Considerations & Questions:
Does loving everyone on the principle of the matter mean not loving ANYone in particular?Corollary consideration: Does loving everyone mean you can't conscience removing from a population the individuals who would injure/torment/cheat/kill others in that population?
If love is as love does then love does what is best for the Beloved, I think. Part of that is honoring them and their free will, their privacy, their right to self direction.
I ask the above questions with God in mind. It often seems to me He has abandoned this world to its own devices and I think that, were I a world builder, I'd be more involved, but there's a fine line when one considers parenting such a large and diverse population.
My little sister was a drug abuser and addict from the time she was 15. She died at the age of 44 from her drug abuse. I had always thought Mom ought to let her crash and burn so she'd experience the consequences and hit bottom and get ready to recover earlier and have more of her life in which to accomplish things. I think that sometimes "love" means letting go or even allowing the one you love to experience the consequences of their actions/inactions. Natural consequences are the best teacher and maybe that's why God is so noninterventionist.
I'd like to know what my friends in the CS sphere think, if you've a mind to share.
Thank you...

With dating sites now with 300 + people on etc your competing with, can forget about love.
that was yesteryear. Times have changed.
Go back to the old days, to a tennis club, social club, horse riding club or something, you have more chance there if your looking for love.
And dont stay at the same social place for like more than 2 months, otherwise you get stagnant.
Harsh as it may sound but you cannot live the life of your children. We have to sleep on our beds as we made it. We can try to help but you can only lead the horse to the water; you cannot make him drink.
I myself had an intense near death encounter at the age of 19 and I do not view death as any sort of bad thing at all. My own experience was that it was the most liberating and lucid moments of my "life". So I trust she is happy. I'd rather her be where she is than still watching her suffering here. But your kindness and sympathy are appreciated and esteemed.

I never had any kids and, had I been able to have them, I'd have never brought them into THIS world. I have recently decided this world is the work of a mad god because it is a terrible beauty and I persist here in a state of horrified fascination.
its safer on a computer.
only thing is for me, Ive got so many people trying to get close to me, that Ive pretended not to be here for 3 days.
ok, I always have the wrong people wanting to be with me, but they understand, that they are impoverising and isolating me.
And I cant handle alot of people around me, its not my nature.
Im secretive, and thats the way I like it, but then they think your doing something illegal, and before you know it, youve got the whole neigborhood or town, trying to get in your house and space.
already saw the cop van through the curtain, driving slowly past looking for me.
think Ill have to sneak out here at 1am again and hit the long lonely dessert road out of here for a while.
just me and my dog, while, Ive got to drop her off, shes not really mine, just looking after it. was good company, but, cant keep her locked up inside all day, just so the trouble makers dont know Im here.
ye, but I do wish I had the right girl who can do all the talking for me.
If I was living on an Island all alone then I would be free
to do what I like doing.On this Island there is only me
I am the population.
But should I be living on an Island with other people then there
will be a neen for us to get along with each-other. I am apart of the population.
Being in this world there are consequences beyond any of us
The place where we live the friend we have and keep can make a parttern in our behavior.
I dont think that I could love every-one but I could try to be at peace with the ones that are around me.
Actions/inaction One can only answer for one-slef
I dont think we are just living for our-slefes alone.
To help my sister or borther down the road or a good friend on the Island, to look out for old people when its winter and it hard for them.Gives me a good feeling.
Nice blog you have..
Loving someone in particular is something plus because of the biological need involved as a supplement and so takes you to some higher platform, it embodies the 'the loving everyone....'
God has abandoned..being ego less, you'd be involved..being egoist.
CONDITIONING IS THE UNNATURAL DEED OF PHILOSOPHY.
Love ;
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

You already have one True Friend who is your inner guide. We all have our own angel. In some philosophies it is called "The Holy Guardian Angle". It is the still small voice of the inner guide.
Listen. Be still. He is at the door knocking.
YOU, on the other hand, are a philosopher.
Perseverence is a sign of character. YOU rock.

NOW, where is my goatee?

Orientation knows the Will we all share -- well, everyone but Him.
This world is a dream of death. The body is the metaphore for death/separation. Only the body ever appears to die and it only SEEMS real for so long as we believe in death.
Nothing here can hurt you: nothing, that is, but your own thoughts and assignations. Hare, hare...
