claremont:
eating my words?! I am saying that the failure of people like yourself who supposedly believe in "love" to provide an objective definition for it means that you agree that "love" in itself is subjective. Since it is subjective and can never be proven to exist, it therefore logically follows that it does NOT exist, it is simple ABC logic really. If you can agree that it is subjective and lacks an objective definition, it can't be defined by science, therefore, it doesn't exist.
What?? ?? ??  undecided
Of all the ridiculous things you've said since yesterday, this is by far the most illogical. Because it is subjective, it doesn't exist? Because I cannot prove it, it doesn't exist? Seriously?
A) Everything that cannot be proven does not exist
B) Smell cannot be proven
Therefore smell does not exist . . .everything is odourless.
Like, really?   grin

This pushes the limit of simple logic, please, enough already, dude.
Does fear exist? Prove fear to me. Does thought exist? Prove your thought to me. Does beauty exist? Prove beauty to me. Does pain exist? Prove pain to me. Do dreams exist? Prove to me that you dream. Is there something like compassion? Prove it to me.
All these are subjective and incorporeal hence, have no tangible proof, does that mean they aren't real? Dude, absence of proof is not proof of absence . . .whoever tells you otherwise is phocking with your intelligence.
The lone man on an island, without a mirror, that feels the presence of a particle in his eye and affirms there's a particle in his eye, is wrong and, there's actually nothing in his eye simply because he cannot see the particle or no one can show him the particle/ prove to him that it's actually there?  undecided

What makes us different from animals is no more than our ability to reason and ask relevant questions. The day we stop asking questions is the day we loose our humanism and become no different from animals.
Yeah! Go into the world and start searching for that someone that will give you an empirical understanding of that emotion - Love. It's a beautiful thing and, while at it, you might want to consider going closer to your maker - God. Both are real and are the ultimate- God and Love. smiley

TV/MoviesRe: What Are Your Reason For Watching Nollywood. by MissyB3(f): 1:32pm On Jul 11, 2011
rokiatu:
1 To promote African movies. (If we do not promote our own, who will?)

2 For entertainment. (Yeah the production may be poor and everything but some are really entertaining.)
THE AMAKA:
FOOLS speaking on what they don't know. whether the movie is Hausa, or English-speaking, they're considered Nollywood movies. when they count the number of NOLLYWOOD movies produced and distributed every year, they are counting ALL movies that are made in Nigeria, whether in native tongue or not. it's those that choose to divide themselves and start giving their movies all sorts of bogus names. Nollywood does NOT equal Igbo. maybe if some took the time to look at the names of many of the stars and producers, you will see that roughly 70% are Igbo. if others choose to stay in their group and do movies in their own language, how is that another man's fault? get off of your high horses, seriously.

reasons why i watch Nollywood:

1) its different
2) i can connect and understand many of the stories on a personal level, being that I'm a Nigerian/Africa
3) I've stated watching Hausa movies, and it helps me understand the culture and how they value religion and family vs what I'm used to.
4) comic relief; its fun to watch and laugh at all the mistakes and the bad acting

but I give Nollywood credit where it's due. to be a home-grown industry in a country where almost nothing works (security/constant electricity) and still be able to pull it off is amazing. Nollywood is adored not only by Nigerians, but other Africans.
if not for Nollywood, many outside of Nigeria would still have this myopic idea on what Nigeria and Nigerians are all about, based on stereotypes.
Nollywood has done what the Nigerian government has FAILED to do.
Nollywood is one of Nigeria's largest exports and does help the economy in a way.

KUDOS NOLLYWOOD.
Mercy Johnson, Nse Ikpe, Susan Peters, Joseph Benjamin, Lillian Bach, Regina Askia, Liz Benson, etc etc. thats not even including all the Ghanaian actors.
I rest my case!  cheesy

Talking about Nollywood, in case you 2 are interested, I have list of some 'new' movies that are really good. You'll thank me after seeing these movies and no, it's not a Gene movie. grin

I am indeed bemused when I hear supposedly highly intelligent persons say that animals have the capacity to "love". I do agree that animals show some form of affection for one another, but like I have said innumerable times today, that animalistic affection should not be misconstrued to mean a "love delusion". Animals display affection as a result of evolutionary social bonds developed between their groups in a way that will ensure the propagation of their species,
And your dictionary defines love as deep affection.  . . . .Do the math.  grin
If you decide to call that emotion ''affection'', I really don't have a problem with that, as long as you're beginning to understand that, that emotion exists.

claremont:
-Animals are motivated by lust and procreation-
I haven't talked about copulating, yet. If I remember clearly, my instance was based on a mother-offspring scenario. The lioness protects her cub because she is motivated by procreation and lust?

claremont:
love is subjective and varies among different people
Now, I have you eating your own words . . . Good! Now, you agree love 'exists' and you also agree that it's subjective. . . .Perfect! We're now saying the same thing though one is speaking English and the other Swahili but we're getting to an understanding and agreement. I could even decide to rest my case now.

claremont:
it's lack of an objective definition.
Yet you asked me to give you an objective definition. Smart of you, huh? Lol!  grin

claremont:
If I saw a child drowning, I would save that child. I don't "love" the child, I don't have to wait to feel the prodding of a a deluded emotion called "love" before I allow myself to obey an innate human trait. The analogy I tried to draw between marriage and "love" which apparently you refused or chose not to understand is that couples who marry on the basis of a purely fictitious concept called "love" are most likely to have marital problems as compared to those who marry on the basis of good old-fashioned compatibility and adaptibility.
You could decide not to save the child and still not feel a sense of guilt or obligation BUT, it would be impossible for you to love that child and not save her or feel guilt and hurt if you were unable to save her. Capisci?
If you saw 2 kids drowning - one yours and the other a stranger- , you most likely will save yours, first. Did you do that because it's ethical or humanitarian? Wouldn't it also be ethical and humanitarian to save the other, first? Isn't it unethical to be partial? Why would you choose to save yours first?
RomanceRe: "love" Does Not Exist, Let's Stop This Delusion! by MissyB3(f): 11:59am On Jul 11, 2011
claremont:
"Love" is a cultural invention, not a natural phenomenon. .
Excuse you?
Love is not a meme but a natural phenomenon. Like I earlier stated, that emotion has existed since the beginning of time. This is evident even in the way animals feed, protect, teach and love their offsprings just as humans do. An animal that has just given birth will leave her baby for a while to hunt for food because she cares for her new born [Manifestation of that emotion.
A dog will run and leap as if it were glad everytime you come home after a long day's work because it missed you [manifestation of that emotion]. A mother bear who has just lost her young could be heard crying, mourning her loss [manifestation of that emotion]. I cannot genuinely cry, or be sweet just because it is demanded from me, but because I am hurt or really love someone. It is an innate emotion; I do not feel it because I was taught to or I'm expected to feel it, I do because there's been some chemical reaction in my brain. A not so recent study on pain showed that people in considerable pain had less pain and needed less medication during the times they were visited by their loved ones (spouses, family members, good friends). This happens by chance?

claremont:
Popular culture provides the main ways we learn how to 'fall in love'. Movies, television, popular songs, novels, & magazines all train our feelings into the wonderful delusion of "love".
That protective lioness that would rather die than have you hurt her you cub, go to any extent to provide food for the cub does all that because of the movies it has seen and understood, song it has listened to and understood, magazines it has read and understood?

claremont:
Religious indoctrination demonstrates emotional programming. Is 'being saved' the religious equivalent of 'falling in love'? We are taught what emotions to expect—then we try to create them. 'Falling in Love' is Temporary Insanity, it becomes Permanent Insanity when we take the ultimate step of getting married to whom we "love". Love and Marriage are totally incompatible.
You had better stop taking words out of the dictionary, placing one in front of the other to form sentences one can't perfectly makes sense out of. Are you on about what makes a sucessful marriage, the existence of the emotion we call love or the compatibility of love and marriage? Where did you get the tripe that love and marriage aren't compatible? Love and marriage may not always go together, the former may not be enough to make the latter sucessful but to say both are mutually exclusive is plain BS. I'd hate to think I've been wasting my precious time on/with you.

claremont:
Fear, Joy, and Anger do not belong in a Romance section thread, but love does. Hence my focus on Love, if I want to discuss about fear, joy and anger, then I will find another thread were there can be an accurate fit. It's not rocket science really to understand that, is it?!
My dear, there's a correlation. It's not by mistake I asked that question. Fear, anger, love etc are all emotions and they all exist in the brain. If you can prove to me that fear exists, I can also prove to you that love does. So?
RomanceRe: "love" Does Not Exist, Let's Stop This Delusion! by MissyB3(f): 10:28pm On Jul 10, 2011
claremont:
The problem I have with this logic is how do we know when the emotion has occurred or is occurring?
Simple! There are some physical/psychological manifestations. How do you tell when you're angry, afraid or happy? There are some physical/psychological. You'd be an .  to believe there's an emotion as fear, joy and hate and not believe there's an emotion called love. Now the principal question is - is there an emotion called anger?

claremont:
If we can't rationally define what love is and it's characteristics, then how do we know if it has occurred?
Go through my posts again, you should be able to get a definition  [though subjective] and characteristics.

claremont:
It is a misnomer really;
Dude, what's the argument now? semantics?
Man named everything - tangible and abstract. Things exist irrespective of whether or not you name them or what name you attribute to them. That emotion 'love' exists irrespective of whether you want to call it love or ''basic human nature'' or >>>>> or """""

There's a state in which you feel weak, sleepy, lack energy and concentration is poor . . . someone named it tiredness. If I went to another planet where it's not called tiredness but XYZ, and displayed these symptoms,
1) I'd still feel the same way I felt in planet A where it's called tiredness
2) People in planet B would still understood that I'm XYZ

Use any device such as MRI OR EEGs to test my physical and mental responses to the question of whether or not I feel weak, sleepy, lack energy and concentration, I'd respond in a manner consistent to human expression of tiredness/XYZ. Same goes for love. . . .What you call it, does not change the fact that it is what it is.

Love is an emotion and like every other emotion, it isn't corporeal so I can't prove its existence to you with the use of a scientific instrument. I can only give you an argument/explanation but I can't give you understanding. . . I doubt my ability to convince you, too.

Good stuff! You said "Truth is, there is a blissful state where your happiness is totally dependent on someone else's such that all you want to do is make them happy; you voluntarily put the person first before anything else". Surely a well learned person like yourself should know that basic morality demands that we treat others the same way we would want to be treated. We don't need to hide under the pretence of an imaginary "love" to do that, the way and manner we treat our partners is due to the fact that we expect them to treat us the same way. Surely, that is basic common sense, that's not what people call "love", is it?" If it is, then the proponents of love are more deluded than I thought initially.
What has the golden rule to so with this?!

Morality demands so much from us, how many of us actually act morally when it doesn't suit us? We are supposed to act in accordance to the golden rule - Treat others as you wish to be treated- but we are not, in a sense,  compelled to, so most times, we tend not to. But, when that emotion called love occurs, you voluntarily do more than the golden rule, strip yourself of your selfish nature, put that person first before even yourself NOT because you want to act in accordance to the golden rule or any moral principle but because it pleases you to; all you want to do is please that person even if it means displeasing yourself, you personally certify yourself a 'FOOL/MUGU' for that person and you're happy about it. Nothing else matters.
This is very different from doing something because you're expected to do it.
Pay me for the lecture.  cool

It is ethical that I give that blind man at the next bustop alms, the starving child bread, the unclothed man clothes, the stranded girl a ride, visit the sick child at the hospital but I don't . .
Meanwhile, out of the little I have, I VOLUNTARILY buy gifts for my mum even when they are the last things she needs, drive 960 km just to see her even when I have important things to do, deprive myself of certain pleasures just to make her happy.
Do you actually think I do all that for my mum because I want to obey the golden rule?

Couldn't Jack have put another woman instead of Rose on top of the floating door so he and Rose could be in the cold water? It would have been morally correct, no?

Couldn't the woman who donated her womb to her daughter have donated it to some other young girl in dire need of it? It would have been morally corrrect, no?
Point is - There are some things you do to/for people not because you're expected or compelled to do them but because you desire to, it makes you happy to do these things and, from personal experience, only when that emotion called love occurs, one does these things.

PS: Need I add that not all of us are adherents of the golden rule, some of us believe more in the platinum rule ; treat others as they wish to be treated.  cool
