Is Love the Answer?

[joeyi99]

I’m convinced more than ever that the maximization of love is the point of life. 
 

Call it a platitude or whatever but it’s the truth. 
 

Now the question is it even possible in practice to love and be loved from humans. Those who’ve attempted to love unconditionally get stepped on in the end.

Notice what you're doing ..in the first sentence you're saying loving between humans which is obviously not what unconditional love means(obviously it includes that but also much broader). 

There is a catch for unconditional love which is survival .if you love unconditionally you die..cause you can't love hunger and thirst right ? That's essentially what you mean by getting stepped on if you love unconditionally. So It depends on your journey and priorities and maturity in life..I do intuitively know that the way to go is full on Christ mode live in a cave chilling out on consciousness lol..but bro wants to burn through some karma apparently 😁

@joeyi99 Yes Love is the point of life and existence

And you wouldn't love to get stepped right? 

There are two avenues for walking the Love:

Taking Love to the end and dying on the cross, forgiving those who torture you and blessing them 

Or Intelligent Love, that calibrates the whole universe for the maximisation of Love

The former is Feminine Love, the Latter is Masculine Love. You need a balance of both imo.

There is also the concept of Self-Love, where Self is the whole universe, including infinity, and including your limited human form.

From this perspective, what you mean by “loving unconditionally” is actually too little love for your limited human form, and too much love for the forms outside it. The key in life is to find the proper balance. God loves everything equally.

Start by unpacking what love is, how you're holding it, and the idea that life has a point or purpose other than the one you give (create for) it. In your post, love is held as fundamentally relational and shows up as a disposition between people.

But you're fooling yourself. People do this all the time with this subject. What you really want is to feel good and improve your experience - just with a spiritual twist.

Take the idea of unconditional love seriously for a moment. The self itself is profoundly conditional. You want some things and not others (!).

So, fantasy and wishful thinking aside, if there's any operative principle here, make it real. I suspect it won't be what you think it is, because, again, it will have to be real.

If you saw and felt yourself as everything, how could it not be love?
