Love? Do you mean love in the way you understand itas a human?Well, not exactly, but basically the same thing. I mean,love is love.A brain surgeon would tell you that a specific part ofthe brain controls the ability to love. If it's damaged, peopleare incapable of love, incapable of caring about others.So?So, isn't it arrogant to think that the love generated byour little brains is the same thing that an omnipotent beingexperiences? If you were omnipotent, why would you limityourself to something that could be reproduced by a littleclump of neurons?

The concept of love is explored from a unique perspective, questioning whether the love experienced by humans can truly compare to that of an omnipotent being. While humans often perceive love through the lens of their brain's biology, the text suggests that equating divine love with human affection might be presumptuous. The notion that a mere clump of neurons could reflect the love of an omniscient creator raises profound questions about the nature and capacity of love.

This reflection invites us to consider the depths of love beyond human understanding, challenging us to envision love in a more expansive and profound manner. If an all-powerful being can experience love, it likely transcends the limitations of human emotions, leading us to ponder the true essence of love itself and how it manifests across different forms of consciousness.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
