But those things don't provide love, which is (also) essential. People need love even to pursue self-preservation and helping others; it's the people without love that commit s*de.
Why is it important to build a model that excludes love, which seems obvious and overwhelmingly present?
- makeitdouble 1y agoI think the focus on love blurs the message, while ironically putting the bar a lot higher depending on what the person perceives as love. To put it a bit bluntly, there's a laziness in wording it that way that IMHO comes with a real cost.
- mmooss 1y ago> blurs the message We're starting to go in circles becauase I think you are assuming there is some other message. Love is the fundamental of the message (see GP), according to almost everyone with expertise and many others who have thought about it and experienced it (as far as I know). That doesn't make it undeniable; still I think we need to address it to go forward. On what grounds do you dismiss it? Inconvenience isn't related to truth.
