I checked the world out, I came back to interact here on occasion.
I have a question, not to anyone in particular, just anyone. TK, etc, non-empaths
Do you think people who can not feel love, are envious of those of us who can?
by 13circeDo you think people who can not feel love, are envious of those of us who can?
No, because I see love as something that makes people vulnerable and weak, and that, in my opinion, is not something worthy of envy.
Love can be used as a manipulative tool. I don't need to feel it to use it to my advantage.
Thanks for the replies.
I guess my personal philosophy is, that there is no afterlife. I wish there was, but i seriously doubt it. Therefore, I have one lifetime to live. So, on my "bucketlist" I have a lot of things.
Re: one life only or afterlife
Dear circe its probably both things. Equally considerations.
1. Yes we only have this one life with the ppl we are now and have time to share and make the most of. We are unique in this time.
2. What we do say think and share in this life affects future generations as it defines our world today. We can invest positive thoughts and energy to be creative and uplift one another. Or we can compete to destry relations and hurt or fight with our energy.
We all leave a legacy. Either make the world a better place or worse

I went for the longest time thinking it was something akin to a Hallmark scam to control people's spending habits, but I'm not sure what to think now of if it's an elaborate ruse or a real concept. The inability to pin "love" with a definition that can be agreed upon, it being an ambiguous concept, makes me less likely to believe it's really a thing. Every time I think I know what it might be, it's corrected and shown not to be that.
I'm fine with seeking contentment over finding love, but I guess I'm not sure what love really is beyond mutual affection with a label.
Seems good enough for me, Turncoat.
I just think of it as caring for another.
Romantically, wanting to be with them after the lust is gone. Or trying to rekindle the lust of the early days.
Family or friend wise, being caring, helping them with whatever their needs are.
With kids, that means putting them before yourself. Friends, not as much. Romantic partner, if possible.
Willing to die for someone?
