Re: Do you want to be loved, or do you want to love? There is a
big difference.

Of course you are crazy, bat (fill in the blank) crazy, nutty as
a fruit cake, playing with a bent hockey stick, the splinters of
your mind going round and round, and your elevator definitely
does not reach the top floor, you are stuck up, half-witted,
scruffy-looking… nerf herder and a clinking, clanking,
clattering collection of caliginous junk absolutely crazy as a
loon... and for all those reasons, I hold out high hopes for
you... and love you more than your mother.
Stay healthy,
Jed.

There's 2 distinct perspectives to answer from. "Little me",
historically, wants others to be madly in love with me.....or,
wait......back it up. "Love" is too strong/complex a term for
me I think, TBH. I never operated much from the neo-cortex
(wrinkly part of the brain responsible for "higher
thought")....and meso-cortex (heralding the limbic system
responsible for "higher emotion") perspective to have been
involved in complex states of attention such as "love". For me,
it was mostly about "lust"...thus operating more from
paleo-cortex....or the "lizard brain" as they called it. The
part responsible for primal behaviors like
fight-or-flight.....and tiresome compulsion to pursue/think
about sex. Thus, "madly in lust with" might be the more
accurate phrase...at least with respect to any females in the
room (I'm hetero). Other men? Maybe notions of respect to the
degree that I'm left alone to have access to the "p#ssy" :)
(sorry to be crass...but that's where my "brain" is, when
operating strictly from basal desires of "little me")
From the context, perhaps, of glimpses of higher self....from
that of "big me"....the notion of being madly in love with
others or having others be madly in love with me frankly sounds
repulsive. From the context of knowing that ego-mania is the
driving force of every miserable state I've ever experience...at
least from perspective of experiences interpreted through my
ego....being "madly in love" or being the object of others
"madly in love" sounds like more derangement of ego drama to
that me the feels loathsome. It sounds too fraught with human
clingy-ness. In terms of those outrageous, otherworldly states
of awareness sprawling beyond the narrow human spectrum of
experience(having dipped something of my big toe into those
waters, perhaps)....all this "mad human love", laden with
expectations and responsibility of that kind of attention, just
seems like it would annoyingly get in the way. Anyways...in
terms of being, maybe one day (but very unlikely, honestly,
given the seeming insurmountability of my entrenched habits),
another finger pointing at the moon....why would I want be a
part of a network of fingers pointing at one another in any way
shape or form?

It's a mad, mad, mad world.
(mad is a very strange word, many meanings)
Be well....
Love ya, Jed.

Well, when you put it that way....
:D You're right, if I get what you're saying. Being in love
with one another without the barbed hooks inherent in the kind
of attention that human ego-drama lavishes upon one
another....that would be nice, I think. At least compared to
the alternative.

Ideally, a little bit of both would be wonderful. When I was
younger, I yearned for being loved by others. I was depressed
because I didn't feel loved. My mind was very low in confidence
and sought validation from others, especially the opposite
gender.
Now, I absolutely love the idea of being alone and not having
drama of others 'loving' me and being attached. It's all so
energy draining, and I prefer to reserve for special occasions.
This reminds me of the be careful what you wish for scenario.
Ultimately, I would prefer to love others. I prefer some days
alone and some days with people. I can have more peace loving
others.
