What Does Love Mean In A Paradise?

The sensations that comes to our bodies can be clearly divided into two. There are those pleasant hence those we desire and then those that we would rather avoid them. For example the pleasant sensations are:i)Happiness/joy/ecstacyii)Loveiii)Aromaiv)Sweet food etcThe unpleasant sensations are:i)Painii)Angeriii)Sadnessiv)Bad smell etcWhen we close exermine what people seem to mean by 'paradise', it is a place wherein we experience only the first type of sensations. At least we must define an ideal paradise so.WHY DO WE EXPERIENCE BOTH OF THESE IN THE WORLDThe idiotic explanation normally offered is that we CHOSE this before we came here so we may LEARN. There is a reason explanation does not conduct electricity. When we zero in on the correct, much simpler explanation, we begine to see how paradise can come about. Pain, for instance, does not help us to learn anything apart from how to avoid it. This lesson is useless once we nolonger have the bodies like these ones. So the need for the lesson came AFTER we were born and not BEFORE we were born. The purpose of the lesson will END at death, when we nolonger have the type of the body and another purpose of the lesson will not BEGINE in an afterlife if we will then have a different body.The correct explanation as to why we can experience both good and bad things is that we need both of them to survive given the bodies like these we have. So perharps the question is that why then we have the bodies like these. Did we choose it? NO! It is because that was the only possible alternative at the time of your birth!! So there is no reason why we are not in a paradise at this time apart from that it is absolutely impossible for people like us to be in paradise at this time.In order for our bodies to do homeostasis exellently, they have succeded to somehow trap and made awake conscious being that must experience the body everytime it is fully aware. Then the body make use of the ability of 'it' to experience both bad and good things in order for the body to maintain its existence in this world.The pleasant sensations can be termed as those that produce the positive feedback in body's homeostasis. They serve to take the body more to the conditions that elicits the sensation. On the other hand the unpleasant sensations are used by the body as negative feedback, i.e to take the body away from the conditions that elicits them. We need both positive and negative feedback in every control system. With only the positive feedback, the body may get into a runnaway train. For instance if food ever tested nice, nothing will tell you where to stop. You will keep eating and eating until the stomach burst!There is a tendency to treat 'love' as special. However, it fits tightly alongside every other body sensation. There is no difference between feeling that you love someone and sensing the aromatic smell of cloves. Aroma is just the body saying 'more cloves please'. Love is just a body saying 'a little bit more of Eunice please'. So like aroma, it is not a suprise that once you get enough 'smell' of Eunice, the body now say 'a little less of Eunice please' and 'a little bit of Erica.:)'SO WHAT IS AN IDEAL PARADISE?My best guess is that the body has trapped both the 'positive' and 'negative' sensations of a conscious being so it may maintain itself in an ever changing enviroment. However, a conscious being can, in principle, exist on its own independent on the need to be used in a body's control system. One might at first find such an existence to be purposeless. However, so does the life of a body in an ever changing enviroment. There doesn't seem to be any purpose of the body. It just maintain itself in an enviroment apparently for just the sake of it. Keeping on existing seems to be the only purpose of the body. Similarly, merely keeping on feeling good sensations can be seen as the only purpose of existing in a paradise. There doesn't have to be any other purpose.LOVEI must again finish by cautioning against overvaluing any sensation. Like I have shown above, these sensations seem usefull but only because the body has made use of them in its homeostasis. The aspect of love, usefull to other people apart from individuals feeling the sensation is that one which goes to meet their needs. Without the concept of 'needs' the usefullness of love, especially apart from the individual experiencing, is ill defined.A new ager is notorius in using 'love' to manipulate. He holds almost mutualy incompartible notions and embodies them within a vague notion he terms 'love'. He may at one time tell you of how much he does not need love from other people, and that the love they have for themselves is enough. Then he switches gears and tells you how love for other people is important, that only loving yourself is not good!! But if he does not need love from other people, whom does he think he need such love?? If no one need love from other people, then what is the purpose of loving them at all? NON!!Or in short, don't overvalue 'love'. Love's usefullness comes hand in hand with the neadiness of people in the surroundings. If people from the other corner of the world hate you, you still have to wake up in the morning, tie your own shoe lases, walk upright eat well etc. If they love you, you still have to wake up, tie your own shoe lases, walk upright and eat well! Clearly loving or hating you is something that concerns THEM not YOU. Similarly in a paradise, where no one need anything from anyone, we may as well not need love alltogether. All we need is bliss and we can choose love because it is blissfull TO US and not because it is necesary TO THE 'OTHER'.
