>>5933405Hmm, I disagree. Though mainly it's because of different way I approach the matter. When it comes to love, I present a more individualistic way. When I say that it' the ideal time to explore love, I do not mean that we live in an age of universal enlightement, in which every person will begin considering love in more philosophical way instead of the biological one. Just like the old discoverers, only few are going to embark on a quest to find the truth. However, it's not because of difficulty in doing so, but people themselves not willing to enter the unknown. Yet, everyone willing has a perfect test ground, lots of land still unknown to most of human race. Now is the time of peace, of tolerance, of individuality, the time given to us by our ancestors, for us to use it to its fullest. For me, pursuing love is the point in this existence of ours.
The very statement you wrote, "That answer is different for each of us." is what I consider our opportunity. Only now everybody can formulate his own thesis on love with such ease. Only now, being free of war, famine, struggle, people can perceive how multi-dimensional love is, how many more ways are there of loving, how wonderful it is to love. The only barrier is their own psyche, their own willing to believe that there is more to love than what, as you called it, hivemind told them. Our age orivded us with the highest quality ships, supplies and everything else we would need along the way, we only have to decide to use it.
Umm, sorry for such a sloppy post, there's just too much I want to say, I could talk about this very topic for hours and hours. I hope that at least a small part of my message gets through this mess~
