Love — What Of It? [Essay/Ramble, Unfinished]

Placeholder text while I slowly fill this out

Will be assembled into something coherent sometime soon, split into dated sections.

A series of ramblings on love of all kinds -- though in this page exploring a pessimistic view of it.

Heavy emphasis on human sexuality -- may reclassify into a separate entry when I write enough.

Obviously NOT rigorous; only conjecture based on brief observations.

Very tenuous logic here, but an attempt at thinking nonetheless.

"Limerence is a state of mind which results from romantic attraction to another person and typically includes obsessive thoughts and fantasies and a desire to form or maintain a relationship with the object of love and have one's feelings reciprocated. Limerence can also be defined as an involuntary state of intense romantic desire.

Infatuation or being smitten is the state of being carried away by an unreasoned passion, usually towards another person for whom one has developed strong romantic or platonic feelings."

The object of the fantasy

subjected to the omnipotence of the imagination simulated interaction

Latent cruelty -- robbing the subject of humanity, eg. dominion

delusions -- distorted sense of reality

defining reality  -- 

( the profound upset that may come when expectations are defied

making the fulfillment of bonding redundant --

antisocial behavior

whether by faith in choices made positively affecting future outcomes, being the "carrot on a stick" to immortalization.

or immediate

Social manipulation -- "game of probabilities"

Some additional thoughts, about politeness:

Passive regulation

social shortcutting and
