LOVE

[=M97=]

LOVE is not what you do, it's what you ARE.

This one hit me pretty good...

Thus, LOVE should be something that you GROW into, intead of something you "FALL" into.
When a person is "falling" (literally or figuratively), they have little to no control over what happens to them, especially perceptually.
Anything that is fallen "into", can be fallen out of.....
However, the same cannot be said of "GROWTH"......

Let me cut to the chase. Why is "between a man and woman" tacked on?

That's because the whole point is to build a nation.
A nation starts with Man, Woman, and Child, in other
words a family. To have a supreme understanding with
one another is to connect on all levels Mental, Spritual,
and Physical. This connection leads to the understanding
of the responsibility each one has to the other. And how
they balance out a healthy relationship not only to each
other but to the seed as well.

I agree with that, but without other forms of love, the nation will fall. It takes a village, as steel sharpens steel, there is no greater love, etc. So while that love between a man and a woman is special and unique, that alone will leave your society empty. The other relationships that form this society, if not loving, are what?

PEACE O:

I see where your perspective is heading, but the point that OBA and I are trying to drive home, is that all things in x-sistence serve as a representation/embodiment of the UNIVERSAL masculine or feminine energies.

The "LOVE" is the bond between the masculine and feminine. It just so happens that MAN and WOMAN are the supreme representation of those energies in this world.

The relationship between PROTONS and ELECTRONS within an ATOM, or the YIN and YING, or MATTER and ENERGY, or the BODY and SPIRIT, is the same love, in principle between man and woman.
