~~~Thoughts on Love~~~ {6}

Alright, I am beginning to sound like a bitter, decrepit man who has yet to find true love at the age of seventy--seven. Of course we have all been deceived by love facades, but that does not deny love's existence. Even if I cannot be sure that a specific person is truly in love. I am incorrigible about knowing that love exists in many of us, including myself. Humans have drawn up the idea of love for centuries. Love has received so much attention that it must have come from somewhere. Nothing comes from nothing (except nothing). Moreover, love facades are dependent on the existence of love. To make myself clear, I will draw an analogy between a love facade and a happiness was. I could never know what happiness was unless I experienced some of happiness, Or at least witnessed true happiness in somebody else. I was lastly address boyfriends who write poetry for girls in hopes of attaining sex and girls who only keep relationships alive for the novelty of having boyfriends. It is quite obvious to me that these people are not in love with whomever they are dating. They are pretending to be in love for selfish reasons. I suppose, then, that my definition of love is complete as follows: Love is an extremely good, "unselfish" feeling caused by a significant other. Now that I have finally drawn up a reasonable definition of love, and since I have finally proven that love exists, I will delve even deeper into the never--ending whirlpool of contemplative thought. I have always wondered why people feel the need to love when it quite evidently comes at the expense of their primordial desires. Our chemical makeup is not that far off from monkeys; it is well known that human DNA is ninety--eight percent compatible with that of primates. I am certain that monkeys and chimpanzees do not have the emotional capacity to experience love--they are more concerned with fulfilling their mating needs. The male craves to "spread the seed" while the female dedicates her time to choosing which male she will offer herself to. The female tends to select the most powerful, dominant male she can find. In exchange for an amazing orgasm, the dominant male offers the female his protection, which dramatically increases the female's chances of surviving and successfully raising an offspring. The female's breeding selectivity also plays a critical role in maintaining a species survival. If dominant males are the only primates reproducing, then females will only birth dominant offspring, which retains the relative dominance of the species as a whole. ................................to be continued
