This is but further evidence that women just don't listen, but not evidence of any bitterness over women, or for commercialism, and should you wish to further project nasty rumours, "we'll put a stop to that right now" *.

is this some kind of threat?
No sir. That's just my sense of humour.

In the movie Barton Fink, a comical and verbose character, who is quite assertive, likes to use that expression. I was borrowing it, for emphasis. I realize that written communication can be murky when the transmitter interjects cultural references, idioms, humour, irony, satire, sarcasm, snottiness, innuendo, and so on.

Therefore, I ask that you trust in the utter sincerity of my transmissions to you, on this topic.

Oh yes, I forgot to add, don't get your panties in a wad.

The life of relationship is one of duality.
Duality is the “I” thought, that is separated from a person, a place, a thing, a thought, a feeling.*
Love is the meaning and purpose of duality.

The meaning of unconditional love, is not conditioned upon duality.
What does this mean?

It means that in the moment of unconditional love,
that timeless moment,
the “I” thought ends,
as does the dualistic,
defining nature of “relationship.”

The only variable that remains, is how long does this timeless interval of unconditional love, last?
Does it last longer than it took for all the matter and energy in the universe to come into being, back in the days of the Big Bang?



And furthermore, I thank you for the opportunity afforded to me, by you, to explain this so clearly, and so completely.

You are an idiot. You obviously have as little understanding of what I write as everyone has of the gibberish you write.
I think if you take the time, you can understand this.
The question is, do you care to take the time?

- How much of someone, is what one projects, onto that someone?
- Not just here, but everywhere, including memory and hopes.
- Including Virtual Reality.
- Actually, quite a bit, when that someone must meet your conditions, to your satisfaction, in order for you to be able to love that someone, romantically.
- Such romantic notions, when refined, amount to finding a walking, talking, spontaneously creative embodiment of your qualifications.

For instance, dolls have always been popular throughout history.
- Dolls are just playing around with fantasy.
- Virtual Reality is just playing around with fantasy.

Dolls are a precursor to Virtual Reality.
- Thanks to science and technology, dolls are more popular than ever and expanding into diverse demographics.
Virtual Reality and Fantasy are more popular than ever.

Why should dolls be more popular now, than ever?

Because, if an adult can pay the price, which may be heavier than anticipated, what was once just some sticks and straw lashed together with grass for a caveman’s kid, can become a convincingly enough simulacrum of reality, for those who I suppose, are likely less connected to reality than the caveman who cared enough to open the world of imagination for a child.

Speaking of that, government schools are now indoctrinating the little children into the why’s and wherefore’s of such dolls.

Because now, the mind that can purchase walking talking high tech dolls for adults, is incapable of calculating the cost of trading of money that represents forever lost time, energy, and life force, for a simulacrum.

To calculate that, a new mind is required. The new mind is, “Good God, what am I doing with this damn doll, and what have I done?”

Although the wonderful effectiveness of forgiveness and redemption is a high recommendation for Christianity, depending on the sect, Christians are pretty firm on some requirements for forgiveness and redemption concerning guilt over departures from reality.

However, and I cannot stress this enough ...
- So pay attention,
- And put on your caring cap ...


Reality is the preferable pathway to God
As opposed to awakening to one’s own idiocy with dolls
But awaking to idiocy is required on any pathway to God.

:D

Pretty good, huh?

Keep in mind, "projection," is so ingrained in conscious, however it got there, that it has become a blind spot to objective understanding of many things, including unconditional love.

Nice try. I've learnt that anything you write that is longer than one sentence isn't worth the screen time it occupies.
Sad for you that it could be the one post, after all these years, that contains the answers to the greatest mysteries in the known universe. Boy/wolf :lol:

Nice is good.

All may not possess
The elusive and desired silver tongue
But all may endeavour to persevere
Towards anti-blinding light of Troof
With one’s mere mortal, humble 'though God-given, talents.

How’s that?
Better?

Does the formatting add gravitas?

Remember when that was the word the Leftist press couldn’t give enough of, to us?
Not the meaning. The word.
Gravitas, that is.

There are several posters on here who believe that they write with great insight and wisdom and the reason that no one else can see this and only sees a pile of incomprehensible dog-shit is because those people aren't intelligent enough to understand that dog-shit has deep meaning. It's the same kind of delusion you see on the early auditions of American Idol, with all those sad, pathetic creatures who think that they have fantastic singing voices claiming that anyone who doesn't agree must be tone deaf. They usually leave shrieking that 'all my friends tell me I have a great voice'. American 'kindness' dictates that we must all laugh at these delusional crackpots (because there's money in them).

Don’t be nasty. Keep it real.

Women make the mistake of thinking that men want a living doll.
Probably because pretty women used to be called, living dolls.

The good doctor tells us about unconditional love,
what men really want.

not laughing: "and should you wish to further project nasty rumours, we'll put a stop to that right now" doesn't sound like or look like humor or anything like that does it? not buying it.

Your contributions to refine Gary's question are helpful.

Women put conditions on love that the poor man cannot meet.
I posit that this is an element of Gary's argumentative thrust.

The only condition that a man puts on a woman, is that she love him unconditionally.

I'm surprised. Most men know this, and communicate it to women.

This is but further evidence that women just don't listen, but not evidence of any bitterness over women, or for commercialism, and should you wish to further project nasty rumours, "we'll put a stop to that right now" *.

It's the way things are.

* Barton Fink reference
As the actual un-redacted quotation proves, the other quotation under question has power to bunch panties into an uncomfortable wad packed with the power to cloud both perspective and reasoning.

This quotation was appropriately referenced with an asterisk, and quotation marks, and italics, as being from a scene in the movie Barton Fink.

I can do all that for you, but I can't do the understanding part for you.

The scene is humourous, and well, you have to admit ...

I'm a funny guy.

Thus, the objective truth of the reference, which unless you're a moron, in addition to being an asshole, should quench thy beating paranoia.


This my friend, is an example of Unconditional Love, showered all over you, appropriately for the conditions, under which we here, exist.

What do you mean by romantic love? Romantic means conducive to or characterized by the expression of love.
I mean the kind of love between two non-related adults (I guess I can't say between two people of the opposite sex since some people seem to defy that definition). I may romantically love a woman I meet on a dating app or something but I would not romantically love my mother. I hope that helps you understand the difference.
Of course, it exists. People talk about it all the time. I myself fell in love several times.

Here's an insider tip, then I'll lay off the thread.

Romantic Love exists, but over the long haul of conversations, it’s the man who makes conversation possible.

Women do the most talking but men make the most sense, and when men say a lot, well isn't she lucky to receive all that sense.

That’s because Woman Logic is a mountain that will not be moved, and although it can be understood, a man is often a hopeless match when it comes to understanding, what just happened.

This is what men in relationships with women learn.

Even when the man is right, he's wrong, and the reason is only, because he proved her wrong.

Go figure, you unfeeling cad of a man, you.
