Is love real?

[Matthew N. Wright]

No. Now shut up.


Only argument so far worth repeating:

Love is a longing for, no?

No, that's obsession, lust, loneliness, etc.

Are you not supposed to feel lonely if gone without a person you love for some time?

Loneliness and love are not the same.

Only your ego makes you feel lonely when a person you love is gone for some time.

With no ego involved (the ego can be systematically dismantled, just as it has been systematically constructed throughout the course of your life), there is no requirement to feel lonely when a person you love is gone for a long time.

Return my call when you understand EVERYTHING is linguistic.

Return my call when you understand EVERYTHING is linguistic.

I will never return your call. You believe that culture is the reality.

Perception is the reality.

Perception is the reality.

I agree, but to make sure I'm agreeing with I think you're saying...

Perception is the reality?  Perceived objects are the reality?  The system containing the perceiver, the act of perceiving, and the objects perceived are the reality?

What are your thoughts about being fully aware of nothing to perceive?

I simply took it as "reality is how we interpret it" in which case I give +1

Figured you would.  But seriously, I love philosophical jargon like this so hard that my nuts hurt.
