the karl marx of love

[Buddha's Penis!]

hi there.
i got to thinking last night, does loving indiscriminately devalue and trivialize the idea of love? does my constant spewing of care for you faceless bastards take away from the love i have for real people? the answer is: hell no.
as i think i've said before, i love you because i love myself. i love evil because i've been evil, i love stupidity because i've been stupid, i love pompousity because i've been pompous. unless you're a sociopath, your actions are executed with other people's opinions in mind and as such these characteristics indicate a misguided mind. so i love the misguided, because they need it, and because i have been misguided.
so i have two points:
1) my love is communal, with all the traits of communism. even the lazy get paid, and it's easy to cheat the system if you're dishonest.
2) why not love everybody? i guess this isn't a point, but a challenge. i want to hear what people who aren't me have to say about this.

i dont think loving everyone devalues love itself. I am a very loving person, although thats not to say i love everyone. I think everyone is valuble and important, but i don't love them.
im not exactly sure if thats what you were looking for response wise, but there ya havei t

there are different levels and types of love. maybe, though i don't like the prospect, love is the wrong word for what i'm talking about. it's "brotherly love" in the christian-type sense, not a personal love.

thats what i thought you meant...and still i dont even feel brotherly love for everyone.

So do you mean you don't hate-strongly dislike anyone?

that's exactly what i mean. i have trouble with ignorance, it annoys me too easily, but i'm getting better. not everybody can seperate their egos from their judgements, for one reason or another.
i just want to put my feelings here so that they can be tested for flaws. so please, nobody hold back anything.

i am not at the pure objective state, and as such am prone to overlook or be ignorant of certain points that may be very important. i ask questions such as this to test the solidity of my reasoning, by which i mean the objectivity, by which i mean the truth.

Boo Yow!
You nailed it.
You want a flaw. We'll find it.
But since you make up the definitions you can argue it or divert it.
Its your opinion. You are rationalising it and then going out to test it.
Well we can say what we like but you interpret the tests. You can rationalise how they were concieved and conducted.

I'll say that love is the wrong word for what you're describing.
Nor brotherhood.
Maybe Kinship.
Don't use any word that expresses conditional membership to a group.
You mean to say that you have an inate relationship to all people and that you are aware of this relationship. You don't deny it or fight it. You have accepted the fact that from some perspective in time and space you and I are the same.
Although we are different people in different places.

Find a different word. Love don't cut it.

yeah. for fun, i'll keep on with the love, and when i'm at my best it's fairly accurate, but i do need a better all-purpose word.
