Ok Tyler, how irrational and illogical are human emotions, particularly love? Have you ever been in love with someone who didn't love you back, and, yet, you continue to torture yourself with your feelings for that individual? How logical is that? Those feelings of love are not logical. The person feeling these feelings is not logical. We all do illogical things, like believe in religion and fall in love. It's simply a matter of which of these illogical things we believe are worth throwing logic out the window for.
Emotions are still part of the person. Why do people say, "His love for her is illogical?" Love as a emotion can become illogical.
Humans have been approaching the fulfillment of interpersonal relations from the orientation of their "feelings". Nothing is wrong with feelings. They certainly have their place in the processing of human awareness. Most of what you feel (like love) not only doesn't make sense, but quite often your feelings contradict and go against your personal desire, reason, and better judgement (reptilian brain - jump out the window to prove my feelings of love). It's what you feel that doesn't make sense. Sometimes this feeling is love, and it is a part of you.
Correct me if I am wrong, but what you are trying to say is that a person's feelings are never illogical? Of course a human is illogical if they embrace their illogical feelings.
Ug. You're so dumb. I'm stoned right now and back from a concert and I still understand this better than you.
Calling me dumb?
You're really pushing it...
You insinuated with your original comment ("Why haven't we figured it out yet? Logical things can be figured out.") that if something was logical it could be figured out and that we should have figured it out by now. That is a dumb comment. For if true, it could be applied to every single bit of factual knowledge we don't yet know.
Bitch, I didn't
insinuate SHIT! Like other people here (not mentioning any names,
stop it with your "conclusions", it's stupid, and don't shove words into my mouth) I said
can be, what the fuck does that mean?! I asked you a question of
"why haven't we figured it out yet?", what the hell did you
ASSUME I meant?? All you could have done was answer the question, idiot. Instead of trying to avoid it and resorting to disrespectful insults.
You assumed off my question, don't do that again!
Ok, wise man, do you disagree with this statement or what?
"Logical things can be figured out."
Now answer this moron and don't squiggle your dumbass out of this one! Can they or what?
No, that's not all you said. You said "Why haven't we figured it out yet? Logical things can be figured out". Which seems to indicate that you believe if something is logical, we should have figured it out by now.
LMAO, proof of your worthless and idiotic assumption.
Tyler:
"Which seems to indicate that you [Chosen] believe IF..."
LOL, "seems to indicate" I mean, WTF is your problem?
My advice: Take some debating lessons for novices.
You're defining love incorrectly here. You're taking a human being in love, not the emotion titled love. Love the emotion is logical because it is a necessity. How can something necessary for the species to exist be illogical? It serves only a logical purpose.
Like I said, I'm not talking about the "protective love" of offspring. Lions have this "love" also.
How exactly am I defining love incorrectly? Who are you to state this?
****Answer all my questions from now on can you? That is a purpose of a debate. Don't avoid them****
Ummm, like I said earlier, I'm talking about the love that is a
choice for humans. So don't babble about "protective love" that humans/lions etc. have for their young.
People in love can be quite illogical. But not because love itself is illogical, but due to them being illogical human beings. A perfectly logical human being would not do anything illogical while in love. However, no human is perfectly logical.
The emotion itself is not illogical. The human being is.
So someone's feelings are never illogical? That is what you are stating?
Don't frickin talk about "perfect" this and that, it's crap to have anythign related to "perfect" for image of humans, it's supererogatory.
Take fear for example. Fear is a perfectly logical emotion. It is necessary (or was) in humans for us to survive. We'd all die off if we didn't experience fear from, say, crossing the street on a red light or jumping off large cliffs. However, fear can cause people to do illogical things. People fear things (such as exams) needlessly. However, is it not true that certain people fear more than others? Ever have a friend who gets deathly afraid come exam time? And then there's me who never fears unless it's a do-or-die situation, and even then it's unlikely because fearing most situations is useless. Or there's Adam who apparently never fears. So you can see how certain people let emotions make them illogical and others dont? Guess why? Because these people who get illogical in love or fear or hate or anxiety are illogical to begin with. Emotions, like they do with most traits of our personalities, just highten this trait.
The certain feelings of fear are illogical, correct? So is fear "perfectly logical" as you state?
The friend that gets deathly afraid to come to exam time is illogical. Why? His illogical feelings of such fear causes him to become illogical. The feelings are thus a part of him. These feelings are part of his illogical side, causing illogicality.
Why the hell you trying to separate feelings with the person? Feelings come from the brain wise-ass fool.
