So vague has language become that words lose their meaning and luster. We use words like love and hate to describe everyday things. It is rare to find a human bird that sings a tune true to its heart. Something that is supposed to grow with time and nurturing, is seemingly expected to flourish overnight. Instant gratification has eaten away at our very essence until all we seem to feel is what we can in the moment. And in all that, the idea of love diminishes in value until it is merely just a word we use as a pleasantry.

Any views on the subject would add hope that there are signs of intelligent life out there. Especially after browsing random posts, the one thing I noticed is that most were filled with random excerpts of incoherent gibberish. Perhaps I have too much time on my hands... ta ta ta too much time, too much time...

is there an answer though? Mass re-education? How do you teach someone that words can be powerful, that they reflect the nature of our hearts? That is if they are understood and adhered to. It seems that a promise is only as good as the person making it, and that has to change. I wonder if the divorce rate is so high because there are too many options? You think that if people went into marriage with the mindset that it was a lifetime contractual agreement. That this said contract was only broken on penalty of death. Perhaps adding more gravity to the equation, they would not be so willy nilly about diving in haphazardly and thus less inclined to flee at the first sign of conflict. Instead it would be like, "Damn we had better focus on this love thing, or we are both gonna DIE!"

some men don't even give incoherent gibberish ... just say tell you later ...
in their profiles ... posts in the forums are something different ...


sure some go on & on ... but stick around people are usually pretty cool in here ...


"Damn we had better focus on this love thing, or we are both gonna DIE!"


some in here are not always looking for love ... good luck to you ...

Glass is half full, glass is half empty argument. the glass will never be filled more then a drop if the selfish inconsideration of the world prevails. The mentality of the masses is such that everything is about them and no one else. Words hold no truth, nothing is believable and multitudes meaningless relationships amount to the same as a junkie looking for a fix. We are all addicts in one form or another, forever trying to fill that void inside. We stuff our hole with love or sex or god or children or money or any number of things, but they are all fallible ideas. As long as we keep up with this pretense that we are so very special and that we matter, we are doomed to repeat this. We are an insignificant speck, a blight in an otherwise amazing universe. So forget yourself, wake up each morning and look yourself in the mirror and tell you self that you are nothing. Then go out and help someone other then yourself.

Well zagreus .. communication will always be subjective and interpretive . . It is not words that are powerful but the meaning we give to them . Your expectations , values and moral view of life are your own .. unless you have political aspirations laugh laugh waving
