Interesting read...
Any form of love can be put into four basic categories: Lust, Attachment, involvement and acausal.
The first form of love, Lust, is related to animal instinct. Every species are created as to preserve their genes. Its sole purpose is to produce offspring and is dominated by sex. Two organisms love each other only during sex. Outside sex there is no love. This includes all the asexual relationships in lower species and the mating in most of the other species.
The second form of love is attachment. This requires the functioning of binary reasoning. Only those species who can understand the binary system of numbers can posses this love. Any organism that can distinguish between 0 and 1 or “yes†or “no†posses the love due to attachment. Most of the higher animals fall in this category. The bond between male and female in most of the animal is dictated by sex. But the bond between parents and offspring is that of attachment. A tigress loves her cubs because of attachment. She can distinguish between “hers†and “othersâ€, but nothing more than that. These animals have binary system of reasoning. Frogs don’t have this reasoning so are not attached with their offspring. Neither do plants have this sort of love.
The third form of love is involvement. This requires the functioning of the rational numbers. Humans can posses this form of love but not other animals. In this category one can not only distinguish between “yes†or “no†but can also reason through other responses beyond them. Given 10 numbers one can choose the greatest number out of them by rational reasoning but in binary reasoning one can only deal with two numbers at a time. The knowledge of rational numbers is what makes the human fall in love. Humans can distinguish their love between their siblings, first cousin and second cousin, while animals can’t distinguish their love between their first cousin and second cousin. For an animal there’s no difference in love for their first cousin and second cousin. They both fall under the category “not my siblings†because animals have binary system of reasoning.
For humans love means a lot more than lust or sex. The love of involvement due to the rational reasoning is what keeps a man and a woman together. Since the rational number are finite and complete, people tend to be demanding in love. When a man loves a woman then he wants her to love him. He wants her to be with him. This is because humans don’t have irrational reasoning. We can’t think beyond the rational numbers. We can express a number as 2, 3, 10/3, 2.576 and so on but we can not exactly express the value of ‘Pi’. We can only approximate the value for pie because we lack the understanding of the irrational world. This is what exactly causes humans to regard love as a finite feeling.
Mr. X loves Miss Y but Miss Y got married to Mr. Z. At this point humans tend to think that the love between Mr. X and Miss Y has ended. In the same way we can not express the value of ‘Pi†exactly, humans can not deal with a love in such situation as that of XYZ. Thus, the love for humans is dictated by the understanding of the rational numbers.
The fourth form of love is “acausal“ which requires the functioning of the irrational system of reasoning. Since this form of love extends beyond the real world into the complex plane I can only guess what this love should look like. This is the ideal form of love where one does not expect anything in return of love. This love is infinite and goes on forever. This is the pure form of love where people love each other just for the sake of love. Only those who have irrational reasoning can posses this form of love. The ones who can understand the value of “Pi†and all other irrational numbers without approximating can involve in this form of love. This love requires one to think beyond the real world and accept the world of imagination. The first step towards this love is to start living in DREAMs.
