LOVE  the compulsion to share heaven and  not being able to put self before others    see also ethics and types of love

27th october 2011  it is a fact that  love is a mechanism and not an emotion  that an action produces emotion will be a new thought to many, as indeed it was to the writer  although, of course, this mechanism produces all those feelings that we associate with the word love   it is sacrificiality in its basic form   the degree of scarificiality, in terms of time, will produce an overall increase in the quantity of life  a quantity that becomes, with the passage of time, a qualitative experience  there is more than one reason for thinking why love is necessary for our future...  sacrificially-creative love, through which we came and through which others come, is completely alien to the mechanism of reality because the lover has attuned himself, and us along with him, to the expansive nature of infinity, practicing love produces continually new and appealing feelings see the mystery of love    love is the reciprocating mechanism that keeps us in perpetuity while traversing the straight line   the greater our collective love the longer and richer the experiencing of the heavenly state will be  whether the lover knew this beforehand isn't known but it offers this thought...     it's conceivable that the force contained in the big bang does run down over the inexhaustible time values that eternity contains and that love's mechanism takes over when the energy contained in the big bang has run out
