How do you truly feel about monogamy? Is it your true preference?

[ReppinTime]

of course we don't know everything centered on how and why when it comes to emotion..

but u can't convince me love comes from the "heart" thats not its function..

this nigga in here thinking cause his heart's beatin fast when the bitch bats an eyelash his heart is telling him he's in love when its his brain that has his heart beatin like that from the adrenaline.. its all a chemical reaction.. the heart beating or that "feeling" u get bein the byproduct..

now i aint no scientist so i can't go in-depth.. but I'm too old to be believing in cartoons as well. lol

no the heart pumps blood not love. but that concept of love being linked with 'heart' is an old scriptural concept taken and misapplied in culture. Im bout to get ethereal sounding. What its supposed to mean when heart is used in that way is, the culmination of a man. Which is broken down too

Spirit - God's presence that animates us

Soul - mind, will, emotions, etc the part that makes us, us and not God's drones

Body - what the two inhabit

Love starts in spirit, filters through soul and is then felt physically by the body. heart is just imagery that ties them all together nicely.

but I'm not religious tho..

word. i know. me either. but it is what it is regardless.

i ain't fucking with this nigga...

anything good on netflix?

Anytime spirit/soul/religion etc is brought into discourse, anything after is moot. Debate or argue within the realm of a set spectrum. I knew where he was going when his initial post had the word "ordained"

um ok rasta. No 'spectrum' was defined. Nor did my initial post relate to my later posts. I spoke about myself originally, then I spoke on why dopamine and adrenaline and shit doesnt explain what love or any emotion is. and a little bit about what the phrase 'heart' means in that context. none of that was about why you should or shouldnt fuck mad bitches. enjoy

this nigga Du aint no fun..

that nigga Cain can't ban u bruh..

and even if he can..

simply unban urself. lol

 

[Rasta.]

as for the topic at hand....monogamy is all about choice as i said from the jump....

that whole natural vs unnatural argument is just an excuse to justify a person's stance on it...it still comes down to personal choices.....

and as for society norms...acting within the norms and standards of a society you actually want to be a part of is pretty much.....normal..

there's nothing shameful about that at all...it's all apart of evolving n shit like that

Actually it's not

how is it not normal to adapt the customs and practice of a society you were born into and wish to stay a part of....

the only time it's not normal imo is if you do not wish to be a part of that society....then you're going against your own desires... but if you are comfortable where you at...it makes since to ensure your stay by assimilating (or which ever word better fits) to the standards and practices around you

See, this rhetoric is akin to the nephrologist telling me that "under no circumstances must a man hit a woman" (does this sound normal to you)? Neither word makes it okay....cos if that was acceptable, we'd still be in "stoneage"

I always view things like a venn diagram (i know you're smart and can deduce from here)

I'm pretty sure you were the first poster on this topic to introduce the god/spirit/ rhetoric. I'm only saying you need to debate or argue on subjects without introducing beliefs based on faith cos it skews or flaws them.

I was thinking about making this a separate topic & poll but fuck it I'll put it here since it branches off from monogamy:

Do any of you guys believe in the concept of 'one true love'?

I’m of the opinion the 'one true love' from a statistical standpoint is improbable. Simply because virtually any arbitrary measurement you use to select a significant other, there’s multiple people on this planet that meets your standard. Even if you’re narcissistic and view yourself as an one in a million individual, there’s 7000+ people on the planet exactly like you.

Think about it for a second, even as unique as we think we are as indiviuals, there are people out there similar enough to us that our past, present and future significant others would be attracted to them for the exact same reasons they are to us.

However I won't knock anyone who believes in it since, there remains a chance that you truly feel that you've found a profound connection with someone that you'll never be able to reach with anyone else. Who am I to judge and say you're lying?

Nah, I don't believe in that "one true love" shit. It might be the one you chose to make it work with and y'all could say that y'all were made for each other but that's about it.

and everything in this thread has been said a 100x over on this forum. except what i said. if yall enjoy repeating yourselves thats yall prerogative, i rather say something new to somebody.

Yeah that's my perspective as well. Here's link where a clinical psychologist addresses the idea of 'one true love' and is skeptical of its existence:

psychologytoday.com/blog/insight-is-2020/201206/the-myth-one-true-love-lifetime

I'm of the opinion that an individual can have multiple 'soulmates' over a lifetime.

@The Iconoclast

No such thing as "the one."

I could further elaborate when I have a moment but for now...

This concept has distorted many individuals perception, especially in relation to the "perfect one" (not to say your s/o isn't perfect for you) and this incessant false belief that they are to spend their life searching for this mystical "one" as if their wholeness is at stake without them.

No other or outside being makes you whole, you all alone are entirely one whole. Who you choose to spend this life with is not your other half, that other is another whole and we are all one. Here lies the "issue" with those who are clingy and/or possessive or incapable of being alone. However, that dives into a whole other conversation.

As for soulmates, a soulmate comes into your life to reveal another layer. They come into our lives with their purpose but they might not necessarily be someone you spend forever with or even have a romantic relationship with. Their stay may very well be temporary and that is what was meant, for them to be in our space for a reason and then leave. And if one lives in the present opposed to the past or future, which many so often do, their presence and purpose would be more commonly seen and greatly appreciated (especially in the moment.)

Nailed it. I agree 100% with everything you just said and especially the bolded which is an unequivocally healthy perspective that many fail to grasp.

It takes a certain outlook on life to be able to detach oneself from the structural constraints of a conditioned mind and see that.

I couldn't have said it any better myself. You should post here more often, I don't think I've seen you post in the GnS before.

To be whole, one must learn to be detached.

"Radical detachment from all things permits interior liberty and releases the mind and heart to reach out to truth, to the highest."

Appreciate the awareness, am humbled.

A blessed night of light and peace to you.

I have eyes, my dick gets hard, bitches are in abundance.

I have one life to live and a liberal view regarding male/female interaction. I love my wife and she does everything a wife should do, yet I will still fuck any bitch I want. Why? Busting a nut has nothing to do with maintaining my household.

I'm not gonna lie to nor deny myself the simple pleasures in life and if fucking the brains out of a bitch I could care less about is one of those pleasures then so be it. My urges will be satisfied and my household will continue to function as it was designed.

Too much pressure and pretension is placed on human interaction to the point weird and deviant conduits are established to release the pent up frustration. It's the reason why Du; a grown man posted a pic of himself in such a foolish costume and why kai; had her sexual frustrations put on blast in donkey a lil while ago. Yes they're "monogamous" but there is a monster inside of them waiting for the right trigger that will unleash all of that diverted yet pent up energy.

You wanna end violence and establish world peace? Do away with the concept of monogamy.
