ive had a pretty interesting past few days...yesterday went to the library and borrowed four books for my own personal pleasure. They are called "Psychoanalysis-a Theory in Crisis," "Gestalt," "Psychology Misdirected," and "On Being Human." I'll probably read them at camp during a lunch break when i eat alone for those fifteen minutes of the ( Read more... )

nonono! love relationships don't need to involve sex! [e.g. stephanie and her best platonic friend. or like, me and you. ...even though you scream MY name during fictionalsex.] sex relationships need to involve love! whether immediate love for the partner, or a projection of another love unrequited.

i'm glad you called and i'm glad you got home safely.

This could be very philosophical... Stephanie and I were actually discussing platonic friendship one night and I had brought over my copy of "The Republic" by Plato and also borrowed "The Symposium", also by Plato, from the library and we actually looked it up and talked about it ( ... )

i just read that really long comment, and it was amazing! was it constantinos? i don't know.
i do not, however, agree with it. just because you have some sort of romantic relationship without platonic love or platonic friendship does not mean you are empty inside. it can just be a horomonal/animalistic desire that needs to be taken care of.

Yes it was Constantinos who wrote that, which is this account.

What i was trying to say with the emptyness thing is that if a relationship is lacking love, friendship or both it really is not a real relationship. It is as you said a hormonal/animalistic desire, which is empty in my opinion since it involves no feelings or emotions. A human relationship without feelings or emotions is an empty one since one thing that separates humans from animals is our ability to have strong feelings or emotions for other human beings. If these feelings or emotions do not exist it is empty in my opinion

that was an awesome story about the ortho girls!

gomory goulash was mediocre.

nice love essays, amanda, cara and constantinos.

a relationship based strictly on sex does not have to involve any love at all for the other person. i, too, have read a lot about the topic. people who see the body totally separate from the soul can engage in "love-less" sex, supposedly. it's all up for interpretation. what cara said about the love being a projection of something else was very interesting.

haha, my best platonic friend luis.

aw, i hope your butt feels better, no butts about it!!!

i am going to my grandma's soon and i'll miss you for the two days i'm gone.
