Why is love not enough?

Posted by Plamen Dimitrov , Monday, May 24, 2010 11:49 AM

As we grow up and become adults, many things change. OK, so why are there hormones that make us want to have sex and why do they have such enormous impact on our lives? If romantic love is what keeps a couple together to raise a child, and if it is the best form of interaction two human beings can be a part of, why does sexual desire exist? Answer: Instincts of living creatures serving the most important purpose of all – to continue the existence of our race. The more you f**k, the more children are likely to appear.

I wish there were a button that temporarily turns off this sexual desire. I bet the rate of spiritual and intellectual growth will increase twice or more then.

Nomads

It is how we are programmed. We stay at some place for too long, and we start feeling a little unhappy. The longer we stay, the more unhappy we become. Hunters and Gatherers were nomads. They lived in the Golden Age of human history and they were, as it is believed, the happiest people ever to walk the Earth. Changing locations leads to new experiences, which stay in our memory, giving us the impression of living a productive life. Thus, we become happier.

To stay somewhere for, let's say, eighteen years, is to learn how to ignore strong feelings. I don't know since when people live at one place for their whole lives, but this definitely made us an unhappy race of creatures.

2012 – the end of all things

Are we all going to die in 2012? NO! That’s bullshit. If there were a way to predict such things, the method would have been a bit harder to figure, don’t you think?

There is no way someone can predict a future event, except when it’s obvious that this event will take place. You can predict that the guy, who just jumped from the roof of a high building, will die. Now that we see how stupid the humanity is and how we can’t manage to preserve our own environment, we can predict that mankind will soon extinct. WE can, not the guys who killed hundreds and took the hearts out of their chests to please their Gods.

The meaning of life

Are you afraid of death? There’s no reason to, because, technically, you’re already dead at some point of the future. This point already exist, as spacetime moves forward and, as far as we know, it doesn’t go back. (Like in that Braid game, if you’ve played it.) That’s kind of a good example… Imagine yourself watching an object fall to the ground. The object moves forward in both space and time, along with the chemical elements in your brain (you ‘realize’ the object is somehow moving), the muscle tissue of your heart (you continue being alive), the Earth, and the Universe. Humans are just complicated containers of matter and go forward in spacetime in pretty much the same way soulless asteroids do.
