Will ourself in or out of love? forget about it! Your friend is trying to talk you into somthing and /or on crack. There is a procces of brain washing but it does not have anything to do with love on either side.


Why would someone will themself to do somthing they did not want to do in the first place?

Ambrose, I'll continue my thoughts and post at a later time. This is a very deep topic on the surface and below it.

My answers and perspectives would lead to more questions about some things that psychologists/metaphysics can't agree on. I don't have the juice right now to delve into this discussion cause like I said, it could last a few pages and threads...

laura225: Good point, Al the more repetitions of what you think may and/or may not happen - the stronger and more valid the argument becomes.Another very questionable point. You might think that all the external interventions have stronger effect on 'willed falling-in-love' vs 'conventional falling-in-love', but the fact is: there is nothing to support this opinion.

You also might want to review CS archives if you want to see how fast delusions of 'conventional falling-in-love' shatter... (in case you didn't see enough of it in RL)

Whenever we fall in love (no matter how it happens , which way), we inevitably fall for a delusion - what we want the other to be ... and if it is left at this and doesn't grow into something meaningful, it will disintegrate... the euphoria of 'fallen-in-love' phase won't last.


That seems faaarrr too strong of a statement to be true, Laura. We *inevitably fall for a delusion*?? Are you really claiming that love *always* is an illusion at first??dunno confused wow

Is there a successful way to avoid what is innate in us?

Falling out of love, without a reason would be sheer stupidty assuming one wanted love in the first place. Only a reason to do so would engage the will of that person. Willpower without a cause, without a reason? hmmm

Falling in love, without affirmation would be as vacant. The mind constantly questioning if indeed they are falling in love, constantly searching for the affirming behavior and sings. Even if they are creating those signs from within, with what are they in love? The ability of will, or the signs of love?


hmmm
