@Nanashi @7 @11112011 @laurel @p @coyote @rats @Moon that's projection and you know it, motherly love is objectively an infinitesimally small part of the whole. But yes, mothers can be smothering cunts.

@Nanashi @7 @11112011 @laurel @p @coyote @rats @Moon Well maybe I misunderstood you, when I see "Motherly love is evil" I see a contradiction, love, motherly or not, is never evil. True love. True love is letting go and finding peace. It is not war, oppression, or any such thing.

@Jazzy_Butts @7 @11112011 @laurel @p @coyote @rats @Moon Romanticism and post-hoc contextualizations. Motherly love is functionally a mechanic of investing into her asset present in the child; and in cultural terms, it reifies the object-relation between parent and child.

@Nanashi @7 @11112011 @laurel @p @coyote @rats @Moon You're talking about loves mechanical properties but that does not fulfil the experience of having felt love. I am in agreement with your assessment of the logical mechanisms which playout within the engine of the sports car we call love, but knowing how it works and riding in it are two different things.

@Nanashi @7 @11112011 @laurel @p @coyote @rats @Moon When I speak of love, I speak of the feeling, the ride. Sitting in that sports car, and putting a fan in front of you so your hair can blow while you remain stationary is not the same as driving it, even though it may look the same.

@Jazzy_Butts @7 @11112011 @laurel @p @coyote @rats @Moon Car rides can be great for what they are. Though I tend to get nauseous from them. It is what it is: the experience is valid in itself, but I'd rather not the condition forth from which the experience comes.
