Love

so... no i did not say this quote and no i don't fully believe it... it is funny though

"Those feelings you call "love" are nothing but an illusion. Indubitably. Love is clearly nothing more than an extension of mankind's drive to possess things. Except,, for some reason, just because this "thing" we're coveting is a person, we rut the idea on a pedestal and glorify it. Though in the end... likewise, wanting to do something for someone else, that's just another self-serving impulse. After all, you're only doing what you believe they want, not what you know they want. The only way that the ideal of love would have a truly special value, would be to vow never to try to possess the other person. In other words... the only true love is platonic. Don't you see that love, morals, religion and anything else that society deems to have spiritual value are completely made up? And when society begins to accept, and then project these values upon our natural desires, invariably other things with lesser value get attached, too. So what you end up with when you say the word "love" is something so warped and vulger that it's poisonous to our very souls. Don't you see that once we start to harbor monopolistic tendencies towards objects or even people, we're just setting the stage for coercion and violence to preserve what we deem to be our "rights" to those objects and/or people? And that has the potential to bring about such danger and turmoil that for the life of me I don't understand why you all insist on glamorizing it. It's something of a problem if i do say so myself. Frankly, it pains me to try and imagine what you all get out of it."
