bro someone has seriously messed up your mind.
I grew up with out love, trust me love is very needed by us humans, it is the most powerful emotion there is, with out love we humans are husks of nothingness.
to say we don't need love, might as well say we don't need air to breath.
think about this, every thing we need to live Air, food, water, with out these three we would die. yet each one of those could kill us, LOVE is something we don't need to be alive, yet no matter how much we get of Love, it can not kill us, it strengthens us, gives us purpose, with out love there is no reason to live. this is why we were created LOVE plain and simple. LOVE is the ONLY reason we are alive.
I seriously feel for you, someone has messed up your mind, it saddens me to know you think like this, I pray that you will see the truth before its too late.
[Note, I don't want to troll, I'm just in the mood to play devil's advocate.
I agree that romance is fun- I just went to a semi-formal dance (read: grindfest).]
Ok; so you proved my point. You don't need love at all- it's extemporaneous. You need nutrition, water, exercise (you don't need to be jacked, but not moving for several weeks isn't going to help you), and air to stay alive.
Next, you say that love is the only reason we are alive. How far back do you want to go? Dinosaurs didn't feel love, and neither did the fish or cyanobacteria. If you refer to us as Ink and Penguin, you could make that statement if your point is that we wouldn't be alive if our parents didn't have sex.
If you refer to the even more immediate notion of alive, it isn't the case either- there are many reasons that I am alive- I've eaten, quenched my thirst, run around, slept and taken a breath recently. I also haven't made fatal decisions. I also have not been attacked by a man wielding a teddybear stuffed with razor blades.
There are many, many reasons that all of us are alive, and love is one only in quite a contrived instance.
If you believe that crap, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you.
Absolutely, my Nigerian prince brother would love to buy it from you. Just send me your credit card number .
Guys you're arguing/debating or trying to reason with a kid
who's still in school.
He's at that age and period of life where he thinks he's
learned it all already
Just walk away.
So you've dismissed my point. Now create your counterpoint. I haven't learned everything already, that's why I post here. I know I'll get schooled often but that's alright.
I was chuckling to myself about this one while on the road today. Ahh to be as smart now as I was at 16. It was amazing how dumb the adults got for me at that age. My Dad had absolutely no clue! 15-18 seems to be the prime, adults don't have a clue time frame. Even funnier was when I had my own 16 year old and I heard my Dad's words coming out of my mouth to my son. Right in the middle of that conversation I had to stop because I was laughing at myself. Turns out old Dad had a clue after all
It's starting to happen to me, too. I speak just like my father, it's quite frightening.
Hmmph...
Maybe I'm weird, I've pretty much thought my Dad was the smartest man I've ever met from "first coherent thoughts" to the present (I'm 31).
Isn't fathers' day coming soon? I ought to get my dad something.
