On love.

[Scott Mayers]

You said, "The love of the parent for the child is not chosen. It happens.".

It happens to people that are receptive to it. You have to be in the right place mentally.
But if you are open to it, there is nothing you can do to create the feeling. It's not a choice.

I gotcha.

(So)... if you only have love for your own (mate)
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah(?)

Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all.

...

It just ain't the same, old ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world insane?
If love and peace are so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong?

Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone

So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover

The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema

Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive 'til love is found
Now ask yourself

Where is the love?

And what makes us receptive and what makes us non-receptive to the idea of love ?

Is it a question of the aphrodisiacs and anti-aphrodisiacs ?

I meant "aphrodisiacs" in a large sense:

Does poetry or romantic novels or romantic films make us receptive to the idea of love ?
Or certain fragrances ?

(There are also aphrodisiacs that make you receptive to sex but I am not interesed in these.)

To love someone means to guess what this person wants.
