Introduction, and the topic of love.

Greetings and salutations. This is my first blog, and as such, is obviously little more then a test-run. I've created this to share my thoughts and ideas, as well as to discuss with people whatever it is they wish to converse with me about. I'll also state I won't tolerate exessive vulgarity in comments, but a certain degree due to the core essence of the way others speak will be alright. My apologies if I talk kinda fancy, but this is a reflection of my mind, and as such, has no need of being censeored to fit societies customs of chit-chat.

My first topic here shall be Love. Since 'tis popular and on my mind a bit lately. There are many different kinds of love; brotherly, ramontic, familly, friendly, Godly, ect ect. Well, I think that all love is, in essence, the same. We just feel it differently at different times to different people, in different situations. This is the same as how the weather is collectively the same, wile at times it's snowing, and others it's raining, windy, calm, causing a tornado, and other such forms. The 'types' are just man's way of defining these circumstances, to better comunicate that wich can't always correctly be assumed.

Friendly love, is in my opinion, more or less what we feel through happiness and contentment with life in general, in a way. It is when we act kindly to others for the sake of it, because we are in the mindset to do so, because it is 'polite' and will, in turn, make others feel the same contentment and happiness. For instance: you are walking into the post-office and you hold the door open for the little old lady coming in behind you, not because it will make you look good, but because 'it's nice to'- you want to because making thier day will make you, and the person, feel (hopefully) a bit better about existance in general. Minimally.

Brotherly love is that wich you feel to a degree that excedes that of friendly, but is not connected with romance, I believe. Ironically, this, and not 'friendly' love, is what I feel toward the majority of my true friends and those I know (just thought I'd mention it). This is when you put the individuals well-being pretty much ahead of your own. It's 'as if' they are familly; you feel the same connection as if you would through blood, except this connection is through mutual affection of eachothers souls (in a friendly way, not a relationship way). More or less, you gain that trust through work and not birth, like how a man works hard and gets himself a TV, versus a man gets a TV hen he moves out of his parents house for the first time because it was in 'his' room to begin with anyway. Yes, I know women could be used in that parable as well, just in our language, man is the dominant word, I believe; it is said in place of all mankind -humans- because it is what has been done for generations, not because the male gender is specifically better fit to be as such, and if anyone tries to correct me on not including the word 'women' in speech, I'll refer them to this.

Familly love is, as mentioned briefly earlier, an inhierent love, taught to our society incidentally throughout the course of our lives. (possibly due to nature and possibly due to God; I like to think both and our free will). This is a most powerfull, because it often drives us closer to those around us (whom are blood related, and through this feeling, those related by law) without us even realizing it, making us wish things were better for them, trying to make it so, as well as visa versa.

Romantic love is, more or less, an combined version of Godly (yet to be mentioned), familly, and brotherly love. This is because, when in a relationship, you are more or less committing that person into your familly, more or less, increasingly untill marriage, in wich the person is, in all but genetics, a blood relative, and in my religious beliefs also generally part of you; your souls are uninseperably connected. I say Godly as well, because of what I just mentioned, it is an amplified connection of your essences of being -souls- wich is, in general, what the Godly (and most pure form) of love is. At the same time, you had to 'work' for this love, same as brotherly love, through time, thoughts, and actions commited by you both.

This doth end the first of my rants, I thank you (the reader) for your time and wish to (hopefully) hear some of your own thoughts and interjections on this matter. =)
