Love is Courtesy!

I just don't understand why! So, do not ask me that yet.. but I think, this is mostly how many people approach a relationship. Consciously or unconsciously, they believe love is a sensation (based on physical and emotional attraction) that magically, spontaneously generates when Mr. or Ms. Right appears. And just as easily, it can spontaneously degenerate when the magic "just isn't there" anymore. You fall in love, and you can fall out of it too!!

Love is Courtesy!

An accumulation of motivations and emotions- goal-directed emotional state. In other words, love is a mind-set that causes the experience of other more fundamental emotions like euphoria. This makes sense from an evolutionary perspective; romantic love directs us towards the goal of obtaining a partner for reproductive purposes, and finding one’s partner is rewarded by feelings of extreme emotional pleasure.

Having said that, next time you are smooching your lover, choose you words carefully. Whispering how intense a goal-directed emotional state they set-off in you isn’t particularly romantic ;)!

We live our lives both as biologically animal and as culturally situated individuals. Our emotions might therefore have a biological basis, even if they are expressed in a culturally understandable way. We see it as a social construct. How we perceive other people and evaluate our feelings for them come greatly from outside influences such as watching how our parents love each other, how our friends love their significant others, etc.

“The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious—the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.”   Albert Einstein

I just didn't know what else to say but WHAT THE BLOODY HELL!!!? As I was scrolling thru my daily routine of Google news. I came across this: 5-year-old boy shoots 2-year-old sister in Ky.

I am aware that the gun-nuts reaction to this statement would be "Guns don't kill people. People kill people" And I'll stay up all night to argue otherwise except in this incident alone only because this 5 year old was taught how to use a deadly weapon, but not about it's real danger and the permanence of death. The gun was KEPT loaded and accessible to an unattended boy, age 5, who is innocent, no matter what happened.

It seems people these days have this low level of mental awareness, lack of intelligence, and generally neglectful behavior than to be permitted to own guns. How many you ask? At least one, and that is TOO MANY!


But yet what does our law says; we need more guns in the hands of people like these parents, so that in case the tyrannical government comes after their guns, they can shoot each other before the tanks arrive!!

I personally am convinced that it is a sin to claim that people who are diagnosed as mentally ill need more help to prevent gun violence. It is nothing but a huge cash cow for the stunningly powerful and wealthy lobby groups for therapists.

To begin with, people diagnosed as mentally ill are not statistically more likely to be violent. It is especially amazing that this is the case, because increasingly, when someone is charged with a violent crime, therapists are brought in to diagnose them as mentally ill, so there is an apparent but actually artifactual (alleged), increasing correlation of being diagnosed with committing violence.

So, do we assume people who are upset, bereaved, frightened, etc., by life events as mentally ill? No. Only by a therapist's diagnosis! It is crucial to be aware of the fact that to reduce violence, we cannot allow the money of the NRA, the drug companies, and the mental health lobby groups to dictate what we do! Period!!!!
