The flawed concept of "Love".

Damn Vints when did you get depressing as hell?

Not to say you are wrong, but Jesus Christ.
I THINK PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN WATCHING ME OVER THE YEARS ON THE FORUMS ARE JUST CONFUSED. THEN THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE SEEING ME POST FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, SUCH AS CAPTAIN HOOK, AND THEY CAN BE EXTREMELY QUICK TO MAKE JUDGMENTS ABOUT WHAT KIND OF PERSON I MUST BE LIKE. THE FUCKING LIAR EVEN IGNORED ME WITHOUT EVEN ADDRESSING MY COUNTER-ARGUMENTS TO HIS POINTS. HE CHOOSES TO LIVE IN HIS BUBBLE AND THEN JUMPS TO CONCLUSIONS ABOUT WHO I AM AS IF HE'S SOME ALL-KNOWING GOD JUST BECAUSE HE'S OLDER THAN ME AND IS A FATHER. THAT IS PREPOSTEROUSLY IGNORANT AND ARROGANT AND OFFENSIVE AND I HOPE SOMEBODY TELLS HIM HE SUFFERS FROM THE DUNNING-KRUGER EFFECT.

ANY DAMN WAY, I HAVE ALWAYS VALUED THE TRUTH ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE, AND I WILL TELL IT AS BEST I CAN WHEN I SEE FIT. I FEEL COMPELLED TO SAY IT HAS NO BEARING ON MY OWN SELF-ESTEEM AND HOW I FEEL ABOUT MYSELF. BUT FOR SOME REASON, EVERYONE THINKS THAT JUST BECAUSE MY EXTERNAL VIEW ON REALITY IS NEGATIVE THAT AUTOMATICALLY MEANS I FEEL NEGATIVE INTERNALLY OR ABOUT MYSELF TOO, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY INCORRECT, BUT WHATEVER, STUPID GONNA STUPID.

The one thing I always liked about you was your consistency and straightforwardness, so I wasn't trying to attack you. But yeah it's a bit surprising to see you switch from hilarity to this mindset in, what appeared to me at least, a very short time. That said, you're making some good points that I don't agree with 100 percent but can't fully refute. I'll say it has led me to do my own reading.
 
“So far, the existence for a truly unselfish act isn't looking good.”

“the purpose of altruism simply is to preserve the genetic line”
http://curiosity.discovery.com/question/what-scientific-basis-for-altruism


“And if that is what models and theories show, supported by empirical observation, then perhaps true altruism is really just a dream.”

“Researchers looked at 32 studies of primates and human foragers, and the evidence points to the fact that when sharing food, we want something out of it.”

THERE IS ONLY SELFISH LOVE. THERE IS ONLY THE SELFISH GENE. THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES EXISTS FOR A REASON. YOUR GIRLFRIEND OR SPOUSE OR SIGNIFICANT OTHER USES YOU FOR PERSONAL GAIN, THE SAME WAY YOU USE THEM: TO FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE, TO BE IN CONTROL, TO FURTHER THE AGENDA OF THE REPLICATING DNA! THE DNA COMPETES WITH ITSELF FOR UNEXPLAINABLE REASONS, SIMPLY TO REPRODUCE BETTER VERSIONS OF ITSELF.

THINK IN TERMS OF WHAT IS FUNDAMENTALLY CAUSING US TO PLAY THE GAME OF LIFE. DON'T LOOK AT THE SURFACE OF EVERYDAY INTERACTIONS. DON’T MISTAKE ACTS OF LOYALTY AND COMMITMENT AS SIGNS OF SELFLESS LOVE. THE SURFACE DOES NOT ADDRESS THE BIGGER PICTURE. THE SURFACE DOES NOT ADDRESS WHAT WE ARE AT THE CORE. THE CORE REVEALS THAT LIFE IS A STUPID AND RUTHLESS GAME. WE ARE SLAVES TO EVOLUTION UNLESS WE REFUSE TO PLAY. SCIENCE IS THE ONLY WAY TO BEGIN TO ADMIT WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING. YOUR PSYCHOLOGY AND RATIONALIZATIONS ARE IRRELEVANT TO THE TRUTH OF LIFE AND WHAT IT DOES AND HOW IT WORKS!

Just because something is done for yourself doesn't make it selfish, just because something is deemed selfish doesn't make it wrong. There is no such thing as right and wrong, only perspective. A week ago Davina McCall ran, biked and swum 500 miles from Edinburgh to London. The selfish reasons? Fame? Personal challenge? unselfish reason? 760k raised for women and children in Africa.

So you have to say.

The thing it keeps coming back to is BALANCE. Fucking love that word. BALANCE.

Two people love each other for selfish reasons? Maybe some do, or more rather its a mutual benefit of each others company. Oh there it is again. BALANCE.

Here, have an extract from legendary Solid Snake.


Code:
Snake: I'm going to save Meryl no matter what it takes.

Naomi: ..............

Snake: What's wrong. Naomi?

Naomi: Nothing.... I'm just surprised you're willing to sacrifice yourself. You've got the genes of a soldier, not a saviour

Snake: You trying to say I'm only interested in saving my own skin?

Naomi: I wouldn't go that far but....

Snake: I don't know what the hell my genes look like and I don't care. I operate on instinct.

Namoi: Like an animal?

Snake: I'm going to save Meryl. I don't need an excuse.

Naomi: Okay...

Snake: And I'm not doing it for someone else either. I'm going to save Meryl for myself. Colonel. Don't Worry!

LOVE IS JUST AN EMOTION MEANT TO INDUCE HAPPINESS. AND HAPPINESS IS A DELUSION DESIGNED TO KEEP YOU PLAYING THE "GAME OF LIFE". SO IN ESSENCE, YOU SHOULD'NT LOVE, FOR WE ALL DIE EVENTUALLY AND THE LOVE WILL TURN TO SORROW! PEOPLE FIGHT AND DIE IN THE NAME OF LOVE, IT'S MEANING IS SELF INDULGING, AND ONLY LEADS TO JEALOUSY! [OBLIGATORY SWEAR WORDS AND INSULT]

And by the way... I'm TOTALLY not being negative! >:]
