Falling in love is the most extreme act of revolution, resistance to the tedious, socially restrictive, culturally constrictive world.
Love transforms the world. Where the lover formerly felt boredom, he now feels passion. Where once was complacent, it is now guided by emotions and action required to self-assertive. That someday the world seemed empty and bored with meaning, risks and rewards,
majesty and danger. Life for the lover is a gift, an adventure filled with the greatest emotion, every moment is memorable and a beauty that breaks heart. When you love a person who previously felt disoriented, alienated and confused now know exactly what you want. Suddenly his existence has meaning for her, suddenly it becomes valuable, even glorious and noble. The mad passion is an antidote that will cure the worst cases of despair and resigned obedience.
Love makes it possible for individuals to connect to others in a meaningful way - drives them to leave their coats and risk being honest and spontaneous together, to know the other in profound ways. Thus love makes it possible to worry about each other genuinely, rather than at the end of the gun of Christian doctrine. But at the same time, push the lover out of the routine of everyday life and separates it from other human beings. You'll feel a million miles of mankind, as living in a world entirely different from theirs.
In this sense love is subversive, because it threatens the established order of our modern lives. The boring rituals of labor productivity and socialized
label will mean nothing to a man who has fallen, as there are major forces guiding the simple inertia and
honor tradition. Marketing strategies that rely on the apathy or insecurity to sell products that keep the vibrant economy have no effect on him. Entertainment designed for passive consumption, which depends on the exhaustion or cynicism in the viewer, will not interest him.
There is no place for passionate and romantic love in today's world, occupational or private. For he can see that is more worthwhile to hitchhike to Alaska to go (or sit in the park and watch the clouds move) with his girlfriend, to study for his calculus exam or selling real estate, and if he decides that this is will have the courage to do instead of being tormented by unsatisfied longing. He knows to go to a cemetery and making love under the stars will make a much more memorable night than watching television can never. So, love threat to our economy driven by consumption, which depends on the consumption of (largely useless) and the work that needs to perpetuate consumption.
Similarly, love threatens our political system, it is difficult to convince a man who has much to live in relationships want to go fight and die for an abstraction like the state, for that reason, it will be difficult to convince even to pay taxes. Threat to all cultures, because when given wisdom and courage for true love to all beings, they are not restrictirán by traditions or customs that are irrelevant
the feelings that guide them.
Love threat to our society itself. passionate love is ignored and feared by the bourgeoisie, it poses great danger to the stability and pretense they covet. Love does not allow lies, no falsehoods, not even polite half-truths, but lays all emotions bare and reveals secrets
men and women can not bear tame. You can not lie with your emotional response and sexual situations or ideas
excite or repel you want it or not, so be polite or not, whether they are advisable or not. One can not be a lover and a (dreadfully) responsible, (dreadfully) respectable member of society at the same time, for love will impel you to do things that are not "responsible" or
"respectable." True love is irrepressible, rebellious, scornful of cowardice, dangerous to the lover and all around it, because it only serves one master, the passion that makes the human heart beat faster. He disdains everything else is self-preservation, obedience, shame. Love drives the men and women to heroism, and the unheroic - to indefensible acts that need no defense for one who loves.
The lover speaks a different moral and emotional language than the typical bourgeois man speaks. The average bourgeois man has no such desires that burn. Sadly, all he knows is going silent despair life pursuing goals set for his family, their teachers, their employers, their nation and culture, without even considering their own needs and desires. Without the burning fire of desire to guide him, he has no criteria for choosing what is right or wrong for him. Consequently, it is forced to adopt some dogma or doctrine to follow during his life. There is a wide variety of moralities to choose from in the marketplace of ideas, and what a man buys morality is not important while choosing one, since otherwise be lost as to what to do with himself and his life. How many men and women, having never realized that they had the option of choosing their own destinies, wander through life in a cloud thinking and acting according to laws that were taught, but because they have no idea that do? But love does not need early prefabricated to follow their desires identify what is right and wrong for her, for her heart guides her through life. She sees beauty and meaning in the world, because their desires paint the world in these colors. She does not need dogma or moral systems, or controls and imperatives, for she knows what to do without instructions.
So she really is a threat to our society. What if everyone decided that it is right and wrong for themselves, without any regard for conventional morality? What if everyone did what they wanted, with the courage to face any consequences? That would if everyone feared a relationship without love and life, more than they fear taking risks, more than they fear the
hunger or cold or danger? What if everyone choose their "responsibilities" and "common sense" and dared to pursue their wildest dreams, to get away and live each day as if it were your last? Imagine that place would be the world! It would certainly be different than it is today - and it is a truism that the common people, the simultaneous keepers and victims of the status quo, fear change.
And so, despite the stereotyped images used in the media to sell toothpaste and honeymoon suites, genuine passionate love is discouraged in our culture. Being "led by your emotions" is frowned upon, but instead we are educated to be always on the defensive for fear that the heart will lead us out of the way right. Instead of being encouraged to have the courage to face the consequences of risks taken
pursuing the desires of our hearts, we are advised not to take any risk, being "responsible." And love itself is regulated. Men should not fall in love with other men or women of other women, nor individuals from different ethnic groups, or the same bigots that make up the front the offensive in the assault of modern Western culture against the individual attack. Men and women who have entered the contract legal / religious with the other can not fall in love with anyone else, even if you do not feel passion for their marital partner. Love, like most of us now know, is a carefully prescribed and preordained ritual, something that happens every Friday night in luxury cinemas and restaurants, something that fills the pockets of shareholders
entertainment industries. This "love" marketed and regulated, it has nothing to do with passionate love, which burns and consumes
true love. These restrictions, expectations and regulations suppress the true love because love is a wild flower that can grow within the confines prepared for it, but that appears where least expected.
ofthis We must fight against cultural restrictions that hurt and confuse our desires. it is love that gives meaning to life, I hope that makes it possible for our existence is meaningful and find a purpose to our lives. without this, there is no way to determine how to live our lives, except to submit to an authority, a god, master or doctrine that will tell us to do and how to do it without even giving us the satisfaction that self-determination gives
. So fall in love today, men, women, music, ambitions, you
mism @ ... of life!
Some might say it is ridiculous to implore others to fall in love, you fall in love or not is not an option to choose consciously. emotions do not follow the instructions of the rational mind. but the environment in which we live our lives has a great influence on our
emotions, and can make rational decisions affecting the environment. should be possible to work to change an environment that is hostile to love into an environment that encourages it. Our task is to build our world in such a way that is a place where people can fall in love and it does, and thus to reconstitute human beings who may be ready for "revolution" to find meaning and happiness in our lives.
would happen if everyone decided that it is right and wrong for themselves, without any regard for conventional morality? What if everyone did what they wanted, with the courage to face any consequences? What if everyone feared the monotony without love and life, more than they fear taking risks, more than they fear hunger or cold or danger? What if everyone choose their "responsibilities" and "common sense" and
dared to pursue their wildest dreams, to get away and live each day as if it were your last? Imagine that place would be the world!
