The existence of love is something that everyone takes for granted. We have all been
reared to believe in this ephemeral concept. If we take a look at what society thinks love is, we
are likely to be lost in even more ephemeral ideas and concepts.
Love has become the ultimate pleasure. It is to be sought with no question regarding its
meaning. Is there a way to find its meaning? This question is simple and complex. The individual
always has their own answer and it is in this that we find our first stumbling block in the world of
Life seems to be extraordinarily complex. If we were to look at the world as a collection
of agreements that function one at a time as they are needed, the complexity breaks down before
our eyes. When we are children we have no meanings, no definitions to pacify the world of per-
ceptions that is always before us. Little by little the world is given to us in definition and
meanings by all that surround us. Even actions and simple motions are to be imitated to the
minutest degree in order to achieve normalcy.
Sooner or later we all arrive at a point when other peoples' opinions start to matter. It is
around this time that acceptance plays a large role in most peoples lives. For to be accepted is the
goal that is placed before us and is to be sought after dogmatically.
Now, we all know when we like and do not like something. This is simplicity itself.
Naturally, this is one of the first agreements we make with ourselves. It also has a way of
funneling many of our perceptions to a negative polarity, in that when we look to others for
acceptance and it does not occur. At least we think it does not occur and this gives us the chance
to look at a neutral situation in a negative light. It is from this negative state that we make many
more agreements about life. Love is no exception to the rule. It is simply an agreement based on
what love is though...
