I don't like dissecting emotions like that, but my nature is to apply the scientific method to every belief I own. "love" is a subroutine that affords our offspring all the resources to achieve adulthood. My kids took an awful lot of resources.
I know I hate those kids that come out of families with too much love....barf, gag...
Love as a 'subroutine'...exactly the point.. it's the main routine. It's all where one places their focus,
desire, goals, priorities...some 'make it' a subroutine.
We came into the world with it being the main routine.

I'm not sure, don't quote me...but I bet someone like Jesus didn't have to get all angry to be
Love Itself or loving....Us? It may have taken feeling the ugliness of consistent anger and seeing the
many results that finally gets a person to say, "No more", and changing their whole deal.

I know I had had enough, and said, "Enough!" And what a great day that was.

Thanks to everyone so far...Hi pleroo and nateswift.

Love transmitted and sent out is what matters. Whether others receive it is less significant. Humans do all sorts of foolish things, so we can't change or should feel bad if the receiving end and results are not what we want. That could lead to backwards thinking; putting the emphasis on the receiver. For example, only giving love when it's guaranteed to be accepted, or being a "yes-person" and saying things that will be agreed to (rather the truth). Some things are to be done for their intrinsic value, regardless of outcome. Love, honor, truth, etc.

Love is something that is a potential in the world, something we're all capable of either exhibiting or not. In these dark days, more not, I'd think. Me saying that doesn't make it so. It just is. It's an observation.

Now ... as a matter of self defense I prefer to dwell more on the food kitchen benefit dinner we went to the other day, on the good work being done locally by some very good and loving people, than on, say, the Texas Churchsaw Massacre or Trump's bellicosity toward NK in an effort to ignite WW3. But that doesn't make everything sweetness and light or ward of WW3.
Dang, does Trump really have to come into the thread?


AMERICA
MERICA
MERICA.


Making the nation great again, one trumpet at a time.


Merica!
Merica!

lol, I hear ya.

but facts are facts and are the facts. A loving family is far from an "only love" family. Failure is a teaching tool.

My brother calls me "The pod boy".
For the reasons you just pointed out.

Me and my daughter are always looking at those daughters and fathers where the daughter is like,'' O My Daddy this, and My Daddy is getting me this.''


It kindly freaks us out, my ex-wife murried a man who had a daughter that was just that way and we wanted to puke, Daddy this and daddy that like she was 6 years old. But I can't imagine just how hard it would have been to come from a broken home with no family or how these people nowadays cope when they don't have an old Grandmother with a big family house, with a big family porch with many rooms where the whole family shows up for Christmas and Easter, I mean if you don't have that family escape a couple times a year, it would suck. I feel sorry for people who never went out in the woods for cutting down a tree with the whole family in tow with dozens of aunts and uncles and cousins too many to count having a family dinner where everyone has to bring folding tables and you have reunions twice a year.


I feel so sorry for people who grew up without a big family like this with a big country family home where the nearest neighbor was 10 miles away.
