There is a simple explanation that works in Judaism, for Jews, and another, completely opposite perspective, that works for Gentiles - because they are Gentiles. One formula is for the jewish people, because that's what God ants for His people, and unless they adopt that perspective, by being discriminating in a world that threatens Jews with assimilation, Jews are liable to fall for the inappropriate version of love for themselves.<br /><br />I hope I explain it better here:<br />http://hezbos.blogspot.com/2011/06/love-to-give-versus-love-to-take.htmlin the vanguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796434751654291581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-8120087854605272772013-01-25T09:22:43.390-05:002013-01-25T09:22:43.390-05:00MGI: The meaning of love has been distorted to the...MGI: The meaning of love has been distorted to the point of meaninglessness, to the point that one can hurt someone they love but still claim to care about them. I think that was a line in "Hope Floats."Princess Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217157534383672867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-1192895780916477132013-01-24T14:28:56.092-05:002013-01-24T14:28:56.092-05:00Here's the deal: there is no English verb coun...Here's the deal: there is no English verb counterpart to the noun "lust". I mean, you can lust after something but you don't lust something.<br />Why is this important?<br />Because what Western society calls love is really lust. It's the idea that you think that guy is amazing or that I think that girl is smokin'. That's the reason the sheen wears off. Physical attraction is based on novelty and there's no novelty when you're with the same person every day.<br />That's why so many people can have affairs but still "love" their life partner. They have a great intellectual connection with the spouse but they crave novelty in their physical life.Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttp://garnelironheart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-44692192272834179912013-01-24T13:33:52.253-05:002013-01-24T13:33:52.253-05:00Insightful post.

It's fascinating, it discusses this concept of infatuation, love, etc, and more in of course a much more insightful way than any psychologist, or sociologist can tackle it.<br /><br />(My husband and I received it as a wedding present...I of course had alreadt listened to it.)Sporadic Intelligencehttp://www.sporadicintelligence.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
