RE: Would You Die for Love?
I'm going to echo @jtstreetman's sentiments.
The fact that it's preceded by the word "I" doesn't make it selfish. Of course love has that selfish aspect, but it's inherently selfless. That's what makes it love. If you won't make sacrifices for another person you don't love them.
@sethlinson
Bullshit. If it was selfless you would love everyone unconditionally . Come on guys. These are tales for 15 year old girls...
You are arguing against a point I never made. I conceded that there is that selfish element meaning that of course no act is entirely selfish.
And thanks for insulting me by implying that what I'm saying is worthless and only a product of "cultural brainwashing". Much appreciated.
There is no such thing as a selfless act. Even the smallest act of kindness aims to reward oneself either directly or indirectly.
Do I really need to chew it even more, or the cultural brainwashing has done that much of a damage?
