I do not understand if there has ever been a period in history when the word love has been accustomed so promiscuously as it is at present.
We are told often that we must "love" everyone. Leaders of movements declare that they "love" fanatics they have never met. Enthusiasts of personal-growth workshops and encounter-group weekends a while back such experiences announcing that they "love" all people everywhere.
Just as a currency, in the process of becoming more and more expanded, has less and fewer purchasing power, so words, via an analogous process of inflation, through being used less and less discriminately, are progressively emptied of averaging.
It is possible to feel benevolence and goodwill toward human beings one does not know or does not know very well. It is not possible to feel love. Aristotle made this observation twenty-five hundred years antecedent, and we still need to memorize it. In forgetting it, all we achieve is the erasure of the concept of love.
Love along its very ecology entails a process of culling, of discrimination. Love is our feedback to what represents our highest values. Love is a answer to unique specifics possessed by some beings but not by all. Otherwise, what would be the tribute of love?
If love between adults does not hint admiration, if it does not imply an gratitude of features and qualities that the recipient of love possesses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], what definition or significance would love have and why would anyone consider it preferable?
In his paperback "The Art of Loving," Erich Fromm wrote: "In elite,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], all people beings are alike. We are all part of One; we are One. This creature so, it should not make any inconsistency whom we love."
Really? If we were to query our sweethearts why they enthusiasm for us, think what our response would be if told, "Why shouldn't I love you? All human beings are identical. Therefore, it doesn't make any difference whom I love. So it might as well be you." Not quite inspiring,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is it?
So I find the advocacy of "global love" ambiguous -- if 1 takes words literally. Not everyone condemns sexual promiscuity, yet I have never listened of anybody who hails it as one famous morality. But spiritual promiscuity? Is that one famous virtue? Why? Is the morale so in the absnece of important than the body?
In remarking on this paradox,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ayn Rand wrote in "Atlas Shrugged": "A morality that professes the faith that the values of the spirit are more precious than material, a virtue that teaches you to scorn a whore who gives her body indiscriminately to all men -- the same morality claims that you surrender your soul in haphazard love as all comers."
My own impression is that human who speak of "loving" everyone are, in fact, expressing a wish or a excuse that everyone love them. But apt take love -- first and foremost, love between adults -- seriously, to remedy the concept with adore and differentiate it from generalized benevolence or goodwill, is to appreciative that it is a distinctive experience possible between some human but not between entire.
Consider the circumstance of romantic love. When 2 adults with meaningful spiritual and psychological affinities encounter every other, and if they have evolved to a decent class of maturity -- if they are further the level of but struggling to make their relationship "work" -- then romantic love can chance a pathway, not only to sexual and mawkish pleasure but too to higher approaches of human growth. It can become a context for a continuing meet with the ego, through the process of interaction with another self. Two consciousnesses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], each dedicated to private evolution, can invest an extraordinary incentive and dare to each other.
But such a likelihood presupposes self-esteem. The 1st care for we have to consummate successfully is with ourselves; only then are we ready for a relationship with another. A person who feels unworthy and unlovable is not ready for romantic love.
Of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are other kinds of love besides romantic love. What I feel for my grandchildren is a alter variety of love. Wha
